Another 338 miles takes us to Deming New Mexico

Greetings and salutations from Deming.  Hopefully this is our final night on our trip home.   The temperatures were better today, 93 was the highest I saw, but we had a 25 mph headwind so that was quite entertaining.

We are at a hotel that looks like it was a Howard Johnsons in a prior life.  We have hopes of a visit to the pool shortly.  The hotel even has an okay restaurant.  Then again, last night our dinner was granola bars (after a hard day of riding almost nothing can lure us back onto the bike) ;)

Turns out the pool is lovely looking but only 65 degrees so we won't be floating here today.  After 14 nights in hotels, we have packing and unpacking down to a science but we can't control the quality of the beds or showers...so we are full of zeal to see our home tomorrow.   🏠    And even more zeal to see Lucy. 🐩

Motorcycle maintenance update:   Arkansas chrome held with only one small piece flapping in the wind and most of it still clinging to the fairing.  Chain was adjusted tonight, clearance should be 15 mm and it had grown to 19.  Per Stu, amazingly little wear on the chain so he is happy.

  1. Back you come to AZ and the good news is it won't get hotter than the low 90's today. Sorry about the pool being so cold, but it sure looked pretty. You are almost home now, so kick it in and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to lunch and tales from the road.
