2022 Great Divide Part 4, Finale

  Stage 4, Antelope Wells - Tuscon

 

 

It's been a great adventure, I met a lot of kind and friendly people, but was looking forward to attacking the home stretch, the last 300 miles!

 At the bike ranch in Hachita, for the last time I pitched the tent with no regrets.

The monsoon season is coming to an end, but still almost every day some thunderstorms are popping up.

 Sooo nice not having to pitch a tent, just open the door and the bed is ready 😄

 It's all paved road now and I'm not missing the rocky roads at all. 

Not much traffic and a good shoulder to ride on, made cruising down the road rather pleasant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Tombstone has been featured in many movies and so I was eager to view the sites.

Downtown Tombstone was left and recreated the way it once was in the old Wild West.

 Walking down the street as celebrities the likes of the Earp brothers and  Doc Holiday once did, was kind of exciting.

 Where Wyatt Earp ran some Card Games and not just the beer was tasty, the food as well...

This has been a challenging and the physically most demanding bicycle tour so far. Perhaps age is becoming a factor as well... 😉😉

Nevertheless, the experience will be ever lasting...

Until further down the road from the next adventure.
