I would have to say that today was the toughest yet. Payson is only about 90 miles from where I started, but those miles were unbelievably challenging. At home if I was biking, I would cover 18-20 miles per hour. Today, it was like 7. Seemed like I was ...

Day 36. Bryce Canyon
We left Zion this morning at about 9:30, but were deterred a bit by the camp store. We found a multicolored, hooded sweatshirt that was created with only Jessie Cathleen in mind. So cute! Some other sandstone souvenirs, a cup of coffee for me, and it ...

... warm and dry, and spend the night in a comfy bed. It had been another long day of riding - nearly 400 miles - and I didn't feel any allegiance to my thermarest. No time spent in Payson, other than to sleep, and then off for the quick hop to Sedona. ...
Fishing
Another slow starting day but we got motivated to go fishing at one of the many mountain lakes around Payson. Payson was founded in the late 1880's as a logging town and with all the huge trees, we could easily see why. We had a great day fishing ...
Flyfishing Tonto Creek
When people think of Arizona they generally think of temperature. And when I say temperature, I mean "HOT!!" So, those of you who have been avoiding Arizona for that very reason should take a peek at, well, the peaks. There are the San Francisco ...
