March 5, 2017. Safford Arizona to Dunkin Arizona 40 miles and 732 miles from the Pacific. A 30 mile climb out of Safford this morning testing my resolve and strength. Both we’re on the shaky side but it was all smiles for the 10 mile down mountain run into town. Beautiful desert scenery again today with pretty yellow purple and orange flowers along the roadside . The views of the mountains in the distance or amazing . Horse and I will be climbing them in a couple days . They look incredibly high and snowy at almost 9000 feet . And I forgot my oxygen tank back in Wisconsin . Camp happy to set up in the local park with a few other bikers. We shared dinner and stories and a beautiful sunset. It was nice to have company. If all goes well I’ll be in New Mexico tomorrow. Happy travels!!
