Apache's on the Road to Wickenburg

The storm blew through so we had peaceful night and I slept quite well. Rose just after 6.00am and on the road by 8.00am. This was quite an uneventful day, long straight road, Highway 60, with a few steady climbs. We made 55.8miles and I arrived ( Nice camp, good facilities so did some washing.) The sun was out but still chilly, and  I was one of the few who wore shorts. Just saying. High hills on both sides in the far distance covered with snow. Again after about 20 miles I cycled on my own. We tend to leapfrog each other stopping for coffee, photos, etc. Stopped at a diner for lunch and it was the typical western type, long counter, with stetson wearing locals at the bar. Notice on the door read 
'No Firearms Allowed'. Apparently, Arizona is the only state that allows firearms to be worn.  Plaque outside Wickensburg told of Massacre, in 1871, by Apache's of 6 men and one woman who were riding in a stagecoach between towns. Gave me a strange feeling.
So far there have been 6 'flats' in the group. Still going strong, still loving it......
