Days 14, 15, & 16
\nSorry we haven’t posted more in the last couple of days but there just really hasn’t been much to talk about. On Sunday we had a wonderful day of rest and spent time in worship with the folks at Maranatha Baptist in Globe, AZ. Monday we got up and headed out to Bylas, AZ with very little excitement.

It was the first day we had of rain, but the cool temperatures were very welcome! We put on our rain gear to ride and only got a little wet. We learned that across the street from the bike shop there was am ACE Hardware store and a man who worked their was a Warmshowers.org host. He…
