After a bit of writing this morning we hopped on the motorcycle and headed south to Yuma, AZ. Roughly 90 miles each way, so a nice ride. Sunny day, but we were still chilled upon arrival.

I spotted a coyote on the side of the road while heading down, but Ashley didn’t see it.

In Yuma we headed down to the old Main Street district to see what we could find. Stumbled across a coffee shop and went in for a warm beverage to hold in our hands for warmth and use their wifi to get some digital chores done.

Everything seems to be closed on Mondays so we’re facing limited options. Back next to our parking spot is the “Prison Hill Brewing Company” and we head in to see what they have to offer. Everything looks delicious and Ashley settles on a cheeseburger while I get “The Wrecker” – it’s a hoagie filled with brautwurst, smoked brisket, and pulled pork, topped with cole slaw and Poblano’s. Fabulous!

After eating we chatted for a bit and then it was time to head on back. We made it through the Border Patrol drug station and then back on the road. It seemed windy, our heads bobbing around, though the brushes didn’t seem to be moving. Between the wind and the uphill climb we got worse gas mileage than on the way to Yuma.

Along the road Ashley pointed out some wild burros to me.

Got a bit of a rattle on the bike. Not sure what it is, but it’s due for some maintenance, so we’ll have to get it looked at the next time we are stationary.

Back home we huddled over our space heater to thaw out while watching the sun set. Beautiful!
