Day 4 Sunday, March 22: Wickenburg, AZ to Tempe, AZ

Miles Today: 77 Total Miles: 414 Temp: 74 Time: 6 hrs 20 min

After enjoying a great breakfast served by our hosts, we attended worship at the Community Alliance Church, where we were greeted by Will Hopkins, the Wickenburg Young Life Area Director. On the road again at 12:30, headed for Tempe, we experienced strong side winds and a steady stream of recreational traffic. At Lake Pleasant we were met by Don's daughter and son-in-law, Sheri and Charlie Boeyink, who accompanied him the rest of the way to Tempe, a distance of 47 miles. Don really appreciated the "kids", both of whom are exceptionally strong bikers, leading him on this stretch, blocking the fierce headwinds. It was really special having the kids share in this journey.

The day was rounded off with pizza, beer, and a very welcome shower and bed. Ah, bliss!!

Yours on the Road,

Don and Penny
