I rode my Burgman 300+ miles today, starting from Tucson and heading west to the town of Ajo (au-hoe) which is 175 miles west of Tucson then north to Gila Bend (heela-bend) for liquids, then I-8 east, back to I-10 then Tucson. I took the bike into the Simonize car wash at Golf Links and Kolb Road to have the bugs removed and the bike washed up when I got back.
The interesting part of today's ride was when I was passing through the Barry Goldwater gunnery range when I looked toward the west, to see a huge cloud in Southern California. It looked like an ominous frontal cloud but I realized it was too dark for that and it must be the smoke. It appeared from ground level to about 20,000 feet high and it stretched from San Diego at the southern most band to near Mojave California on its north side.
I hope that these fires, about 200 miles away will be put out soon.
