Here is our route from Las Vegas to Tucson on Sunday, October 28, 2001.  Please make arrangements to meet us along the way and ride for a while.  Everyone is welcome!

We apologize to the people of Phoenix and the department personnel who anticipated riding with the Teddy Bears.  Our Harley broke down about 10 miles out of Wickenburg, AZ and the ride was delayed for several hours.  I am afraid we had to pass through Phoenix in the cover of night once all of the problems were resolved.  Thank you Arizona Automobile Club!

Special thanks to Nyle & Sarie Groth and Teresa Bolinski for helping with arrangements in Tucson and for providing a place to crash for the night.
