Come to Arizona in July...we'll teach you what hell is really like.

Back in our pre-kid days, we did our "motorcycle trip of a lifetime" -- a
ride from Wisconsin to California and back, camping all the way.

Unfortunately, I changed jobs mid-way into our planning, which cut my
vacation time from 3 weeks to 2 weeks. In order to make the trip work, we
had to shave a week off -- which meant shipping our motorcycle to an aunt's
house in Phoenix, and starting from there.

When we departed Phoenix, in late June, I thought I was riding on the
surface of Venus. That place was the dirtiest, hottest, ugliest, most
desolate place I'd ever seen. I couldn't believe there were a million
people living in that hell-hole. (Of course, since then I've seen Phoenix
at its best, in winter. :-)

Five days later, we were riding in snow in Yellowstone...
