Government Shutdown Be Damned, We're Going Riding

A group of like minded individuals, similarly effected by the government shutdown, climbed onto their respective steeds and travelled to higher elevations.  The six of us left dusty Phoenix behind and climbed through pine covered mountains to eat at the Haunted Hamburger in Jerome.

The Space Shuttle 990 did not touch dirt on the ride, and she grumbled about it, but she was in good company with Victory, Harley and Triumph through twisties in Northern Arizona.  It was fantastic.  Riding allows you to shutdown your brain and just take in the scenery.  Its the best kind of therapy.

A literal breath of fresh air.  A weekend of relaxing, of reclaiming my mind from the chaos of the daily grind.
