318...no, not the unimpressive old MOPAR engine. 318 miles for me, today. Left the house at 5:30 ish, wearing two long sleeved tee shirts and jeans. Met up with Bruce and Mark, waited for the no-showing Cookie. Buzzed up to Wickenburg, met Scott, and then Fitz, a little further along the road. Stripped off one shirt. Left Fitz and Jo at Yarnell, twisted on up to Prescott. After our 20 minute wait, that turned into 50, we had a good breakfast. I even found my favorite hat, that had MANY miles on it. I'd left it there a few months ago, when I was there with Scottie. Filled up at Costco, and beat feet back down the hill. The temperature in Prescott was in the low 70°s and most beauteous. By the Time I got back to Wickenburg, the jeans came off and shorts were applied. Got home about 2 and 98°. A really, REALLY nice drive today. Hope y'all got a good coat of wax applied today. I got a good coat of bugs.
