Yesterday was about perfect except for the flat tire on the ebike. It was a strange flat tire, the tire stem came loose because the little round nut came off. We were up in the mountains on the most spectacular cliffs and canyons. On a smaller scale these canyons are just a nice as the grand canyon. The bikes took us along the top. Once Kadizzle put his bike down and it about got away and fell eight hundred feet into the canyon. If it had someone would be greatly puzzled when they came across an electric bike at the bottom of that canyon.
A few years ago Kadizzle was watching a reality show on television. The show supposedly featured two men lost on a trip in the same area we were in. Since Kadizzle had been there before he knew there was no way you could actually get lost. However, the tv show dramatized these men and it was obvious how these reality shows are faked. The two men were amazed when they found civilization. There is no way they could have descended into the canyon without knowing there was a lake and small town within site.
As luck would have it the flat tire occurred 2.4 miles into the ride, which meant the bike had to be pushed 2.4 miles back to the truck. It was a pleasant walk and the slower pace just made the scenery better.
Today we are going up on Four Peaks. Since Kadizzle is with some severe covid nuts, we will take two people in each truck just for protection. The Four Peaks area was burned and it will be interesting to see the damage. From the Four Peaks you can see Phoenix about thirty or forty miles away.
