Update 2/28
We departed Chandler, AZ at 8:15 AM and arrived in Superior at 5:15 PM after a 63-mile ride. The weather was beautiful: clear with a high in the upper 80s. It was a great ride along US 60 from Apache Junction to Superior with beautiful scenery the whole way. The steady climb made us work. We went over Gonzales Pass at 2615 feet, and we camped in an RV park at 2652 feet. That was quite a change from when we entered I-10 at 28 feet below sea level, and there have been a lot of ups and downs since then. There is a tough climb to Globe tomorrow, so we hope to get an early start. Yesterday's rest day in Chandler was the greatest, and we certainly were ready for it.
