Mixtie Does the Can Can

Someone had the courtesy of depositing this can along the street

Had every can been photographed the ride would have stopped every 10 to 12 feet

Windy!!


Cans cans and more cans






Would you like a Camel with that Bud Light?


Dr Pepper -- a blend of 23 flavors -- an acquired taste??

Lots of discarded chairs at JR's -- and a barrel (sort of a can)

North Fork Community Dump Site apparently:








 That's all the cans we can stand  

Nice tailwind all the way back home -- dues were paid riding south!

Sixteen hours, three films, three meals and no sleep later, we arrived cramped and tired in Dubai.   Coming in to land at Dubai. A large network of freeways weaves through the city. It is hard to believe that Dubai got its first paved road as recently as 1970. There are dozens of skyscrapers, including the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa. It was 34C when we landed. Tolerable. But it wasn't yet 5am and it promised to be a hot day.
