August 10th












A desert neighborhood.






Our Border Patrol hard at work...


Fuel and Casino stop....


Riding through Albuquerque, New Mexico


This is the place that I got a tank of bad fuel that contained either trash or water.




Stranded 30 miles from Tucumcari, New Mexico.  The bike just died on me.. after starting and letting it spit and
sputter for over an hour or two and even to the point of calling a tow truck.... It was so hot, I can't believe
I had the presence of mind to take pictures.


This impending storm made me start it up one more time and it stayed cranked.  I rode on in to Tucumcari and refueled,
canceled the tow and didn't look back.  Ironically, I gave away my Camelback to the hotel clerk in Gallup
for keeping an eye on my bike.  I sure could have used it here!






All the pictures couldn't be good....


A good sign to end a trying day...




Yes that's Memphis, Texas
