What took 2 days of uphill riding flew past in a few hours, as we descended over 3000 feet into Tucson. The no shoulder section of Highway 83 that took half a day on the way up flew by in less than an hour, as we descended as fast as our nerves would allow on fully loaded bikes. Arriving before 4PM, we had enough time to drive a few hours to Willox, AZ, where we stopped at Taco Bell before checking into a KOA cabin for the evening.
