To Patagonia and back in a week
It is now late February which brings a week from her schoolwork for Kerry and time for another motorcycle adventure. Always thought it would be awesome to ride to Patagonia so that's where we're headed. Unlike some we don't plan our routes turn by turn. Rather we just point ourselves in a general direction then just let the adventure unfold as it does. So far we have never not found a place to spend the night, with camping at the end of a dirt road, on the road, in the La Sal mountains east of Moab being our low point so far.
Despite spending weeks packing and organizing our gear, as well as setting up the bikes with last minute farkles and new shoes,
we are never actually packed until it's time to start riding. Saturday morning came and went and we were still running around like a couple of headless chickens trying to get all our gear sorted and packed. The primary culprit to our delay was the missing dry bag we stuff our sleeping bags into. Turns out it was lying under a tarp in the corner of the garage. Not sure how it ended up there but since the sleeping bags were already packed in a different dry bag we stuffed the tent into this one and brought it along anyway. It's strapped to the back of Kerry's Tiger in the picture below.
12:30 p.m. - we're finally on the road. Guess we won't get too far today with only about five and a half hours of daylight left. We head south down highway 337 from our home in Tijeras, NM winding through the hills towards Mountainair to get gas. Weather was nice but still chilly enough to make heated gear nice. Still not entirely sure where we are going today but decide to make haste south and take I-25 from Bernardo to TorC, about an hours ride on the super slab. Stopping again for gas just south of TorC we decide to take 152 up and over Emory Pass to Silver City, a super fun road in either direction.
We had thought about camping off the pass at one of the campgrounds but it was chilly up there and not all that appealing as all of the campgrounds are right alongside the highway. We had heard about a place called Faywood Hotsprings from some friends. It was close by so we decided to give it a go.
After riding about 30 miles down highway 61 along the Mimbres River we arrived at the entrance to the hot springs. This was kind of an odd dusty compound surrounded by a large fence but we were greeted at the gate by a nice young lady. We chatted her up and found that they still had one cabin available for the night and an hours soak in a private tub was included with the price. By now it was getting dark so we were forced to unload our gear from the bikes without much light. A picture of us unpacking.
They put us up in the Mimbres cabin. They're all pretty much the same. Basic structure with a queen sized bed and a loft. Bathroom facilities are adequate but the water pressure was weak. No cooking facilities other than a microwave oven and a grill out back but charcoal and lighter fluid are not provided. No store for miles around so you'd better come prepared.
The grounds are dimly lit to say the least and the place has kind of a hippy feel to it with several pools set aside for those that prefer not to wear clothes. Others we saw wandering about were wearing robes they must have brought with them. We had a good soak in our private tub which was 107F - pretty freakin hot if you ask me. We ate some dinner and called it a night bringing a rather hectic day 1 to a close.

Looks like a great trip. I first thought you were going to the other Patagonia until I saw the one week plan :)

Man, ya'll are too quick. I was hoping to at least get a few days into this before people started wondering how the heck we were going to do 14,000 miles in 7 days. Guess I should have left out the one week part.

Day 2
A shot of our accommodation from the previous night in daylight this time.
After having some good coffee and a bowl of oatmeal we got packed up and hit the road, exiting the compound just before 10:00. Not our best start time but hey, we're on vacation!
The goal for the day was to get over into AZ and hit the Black Hills Back Country Byway, just south of Clifton and a very large copper mine. We are familiar with this area as highway 191 runs through there - an awesome motorcycle ride with something like 518 turns in 91 miles.
Heading north we had selected a dirt route that bypassed Silver City to the southwest taking us up towards the very small town of Cliff, NM. We stopped to check out another small mine in the area, the Tyrone Mine, and then continued north through the Mangas Valley. Our first taste of dirt for the trip, interspersed with bits of pavement. Here's a shot of Kerry riding off. I thought she was giving us all the ADV salute but it was actually just a wave.
We needed gas but assumed we could get some in Cliff as I recalled seeing a decent gas station there in the past. I was wrong. There was a tiny store with a pump but we chose not to stop there thinking we'd find something else up ahead. We didn't and consequently had to ride highway 78 over Black Jack Pass down to Three Way in a rather reserved mode to conserve gas, which was too bad since this is one of my favorite sections of twisty highway.
We rolled into Three Way and found a small gas station there. It was only a short ride up to Clifton but we succumbed as the attendant walked up and pretty much handed me the pump handle without giving us much of a chance to think about it. Turns out the price of gas was something like $4.78/gal for 87 octane! WTF? Shoulda paid more attention but we weren't that far from civilization so I hadn't really given the price of gas much thought. Good thing I wasn't filling up the Dodge.
We rode to the entrance to the byway which was perhaps 10 minutes up the road. We stopped to check out the campground then went to the picnic ground to have a break and some lunch by the Gila River. The campground was fairly bleak with gravel all around and simple shade structures over picnic tables. There were toilets but no water, though one could filter from the river a short distance away if necessary.
The Black Hills Byway was fun to ride. It went up and over the Black Hills (go figure) winding its way in and out of many drainages along the way. Great scenery all around with good views of the mine by Clifton and Morenci. This mine is truly huge. Here's a not-so-great shot but it gives you an idea of the scale. (See my Big Bend RR for more pictures from our ride through the mine.)
A few shots from along the byway:
On the way up....
Me winding through some turns... I just love this landscape. So beautiful, so rugged. Need to come back with more camera gear and get some sunset shots.
Over the high point heading down to the valley where the towns of Solomon, Safford, and Thatcher are.
Once down to the other side and back onto 191 we rode in towards Safford, picked up 70 and then saw a sign for the Gila Box just east of the town of Solomon so we headed that way. We rode in under some cliffs through an odd sort of neighborhood area for several miles before we saw another sign pointing us in the right direction. The road surface turned to coarse slippery gravel, then paved, then pea gravel. We dipped into and out of several drainages with steep descents made extra exciting with stretches of hard-to-see pea gravel at the bottom. We followed the river for a few miles, passing a boat launch site and then a picnic ground. About 5 miles after leaving highway 70 we eventually saw signs to the Riverview Campground so we went to check it out.
The Riverview campground was pretty nice. We normally prefer primitive, private, backcountry camp sites but when motocamping it is just easier to find uncrowded campgrounds with water and tables. This one had water and tables, and was very well maintained. The campground was set up on a mesa overlooking the Gila river canyon. There were more picnic facilities down by the river with a sand pit for volleyball and a horseshoe pit. I bet the place is bumping during the warmer months but there were only two other groups camped there at the time, two at either end with us in the middle. We had a water faucet about 50 yards away with the toilets another 20 yards away.
We unpacked, set up the tent, cleaned our chains, and settled in for the evening. Down at around 3500 feet the weather was warm enough to just hang out. Not bad for February. Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy and overcast so no stars this night but that certainly made it warmer. Hard to complain about a good day of riding in some rugged, remote, and scenic country.

These days it's difficult to go watch a movie without having to sit through short videos that tell you it's bad to smoke. By now you probably know that smoking is bad for your lungs, but do you know why?
What happens when you smoke?
Your respiratory system has a highly efficient housekeeping system. Sticky mucus present in the tubules trap dirt and germs, and tiny broomstick like cilia clear these foreign particles from the passageways.
Even as a smoker takes the first puff, he or she is inhaling thousands of chemicals into the lungs – many, cancer-causing.
Usually, such an invasion of particles would spring the housekeeping system into action, and these nasty particles would be swept away, in the process making us cough.
However, the nature of the chemicals inhaled during smoking is such that it paralyzes and kills the cilia. It renders them incapable of doing its job. As a result our airways are not cleaned up even though they are being dirtied.
Why do smokers cough?
As the cilia dies off, the mucus stops being swept off by it, so the person must cough the mucus out. This is what causes the smoker's cough.
Smokers often wake up in the morning coughing, but when they light their first cigarette of the day, they begin killing the cilia again. The coughing subsequently ceases.
The smoker mistakes the lack of coughing as a good sign, and keeps smoking without realising that this is because their cilia is suffering.
How is breathing affected?
Since there is no cilia, mucus is now accumulating and clogging the passageways. Lungs get congested, and the disease-causing organisms trapped in the mucus come in contact with the smoker's respiratory system. As a result, the smoker falls sick more often.
Accumulating mucus thickens the walls of the airways of the lungs, called bronchioles. This makes breathing difficult, and ruptures the air sacs. Burst air sacs worsen coughing.
A lot of the chemicals you inhale become tar and get stuck to your throat and lungs. This tar can kill healthy lung cells.
How can this cause lung cancer?
All these changes in the smoker's respiratory system sometimes cause the bronchial cells to start dividing faster than usual. These dividing cells eventually displace the cells which have cilia. Many of these uncontrolled cells begin resembling cancer cells – large, misshapen, and having abnormal number of chromosomes. If this is allowed to keep happening, eventually a tumour could be formed.

2 more witnesses vs Janet Napoles
Counting millions of pesos recalled
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Two new witnesses in the P10-billion pork barrel scam have come forward, saying they have seen millions of pesos flowing into the office of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles on the 25th floor of Discovery Suites in Ortigas Center in Pasig City.
The two new witnesses asked not to be named for now. The whistle-blowers said their relatives were under pressure to silence them.
"We counted millions (of pesos) placed in big bags in one of the rooms of the JLN (Corp.) office. While counting the money, we were discussing where the money could have come from. We never heard of any big companies they owned to earn this large amount of money," one of the new whistle-blowers said, referring to Napoles and her husband, Jaime Napoles.
The witness said that when he was working for JLN he had seen "big bags brought to the JLN office full of millions of pesos, but I did not mind it and just went about my work as part of the office staff."
He said there were occasions when the staff was called in to help count money.
"We were really curious about where all that money in big bags being brought to the office came from," he said.
The witness, who had been designated president of one of 20 bogus NGOs allegedly formed by Napoles, is now an overseas worker.
Levito Baligod, lawyer for six whistle-blowers in the pork scam, told the Inquirer that the two new witnesses had come forward to share their knowledge of the racket.
"Their statements will corroborate the statements given earlier by the other whistle-blowers," Baligod said.
In a handwritten letter, the first witness expressed support for and gratitude to the original whistle-blower, Benhur Luy, whose alleged kidnapping by Napoles and rescue by the National Bureau of Investigation in March led to the disclosure of the diversion of P10 billion in legislators' pork barrel over the last 10 years.
"Thank you, Ben, for finding the courage to disclose their racket. We know how they stole money from the national coffers without being detected, and then living lavishly," the witness wrote in Filipino.
The witness said Evelyn de Leon, allegedly Napoles' trusted employee, asked him to fill out a form that named him president of an NGO.
Once, he said, De Leon took him and other employees to the apartment of Napoles to sign bank withdrawal slips.
"All the employees of JLN Corp. followed the orders of Napoles. No one there moved without her approval," the witness said.
Like the earlier whistle-blowers, he said, he was also ordered to sign documents using the names of other people.
Baligod also asked the Inquirer not to publish the names of the two new witnesses, who were presidents of two NGOs allegedly set up by Napoles, for their security.
He said the two had yet to be accepted into the government's witness protection program.
The whistle-blowers further corroborated earlier statements of Luy and other witnesses that drivers, maids and other household help were asked to sign for manufactured names as recipients of ghost projects.
"The JLN workers could not do anything but follow the orders of Napoles,'' the witness said.
"I hope they will go to jail for all the wrongdoings and for the people who have suffered because of their greed and for taking things that were not theirs,'' he added.
The first witness revealed he bore a grudge against Napoles, who fired him when he got sick.
"I went on vacation because I was sick, but they fired me and, worse, they accused me of stealing from them," he said.
Baligod said he had received handwritten statements from the two new witnesses and he had verified their government-issued identity cards.
He said he was convinced the names of the two were not fictitious.
The two, he said, could shed more light on the operations of the dummy NGOs and Napoles' links to those groups.
Napoles, president and CEO of JLN Corp., allegedly siphoned off P10 billion in legislators' pork into her bank accounts through the bogus NGOs.
Six senators, 24 members of the House of Representatives, and an agriculture assistant secretary have been linked to the scam.
Napoles has denied any wrongdoing.
In March, the NBI recommended kidnapping charges against Napoles and Lim involving Luy's detention.
Assistant State Prosecutor Juan Pedro Navera dismissed the charges on June 10.
Napoles has sued Luy for qualified theft involving P300,000 and P5 million in unauthorized loans.
The case has been resolved and Luy has been ordered arrested. No bail has been recommended for him.

Braves lose again to Tigers 7-4
He worked a 1-2-3 ninth for a save against Kansas City, and Saturday's appearance was even more impressive. He struck out B.J. Upton and Juan Francisco to end it.
Medlen (1-3) and fellow starter Paul Maholm were breezing through the early part of the season for the Braves before coming to Detroit. Then Maholm was knocked around in a 10-0 loss to the Tigers on Friday, and Medlen allowed 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings the following afternoon.
NOTES: Cabrera extended his hitting streak to 11 games. ... Atlanta had been 15-0 when hitting at least one homer, but that streak came to an end Saturday. ... Detroit's Doug Fister (3-0) takes the mound Sunday night in the series finale against Atlanta's Mike Minor (3-1).

Hurricane Arthur has picked up speed and may be upgraded from a Category 1 to a Category 2 storm later today, but it's impact on Sampson is still predicted to be minimal, local emergency officials said Thursday afternoon.
Following a 1 p.m. conference call with the National Weather Service, EMS director Ronald Bass said predictions for Sampson called for rainy and somewhat stormy weather, but little else.
"The prediction is that we will have showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening, with sustained winds between 8 and 10 mph," Bass said. "We could have gusts 15-20 mph."
While tornado warnings have been issued for New Hanover County and other coastal areas, Bass said the probability of Sampson seeing a tornado from the storm was also very small. But, he cautioned, being vigilant was important, listening to weather information and news agency reports updating the storms track and latest predictions.
"We don't anticipate any tornadoes in this area, but with tornadoes, they can come up pretty quickly. It's best to be vigilant," Bass stressed.
The Associated Press noted that the National Hurricane Center forecast says Arthur should reach Category 2 strength with winds of at least 96 mph before its landfall or closest approach to the N.C. coast early Friday.

LABUAN: The Labuan International School (LIS) here will add a modern school building by the middle of 2012 to house an auditorium for performing arts and state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure facilities, said Mohd Rizlan Mokhtar, director of corporate services for the Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA).
Funds for the expansion came from the government under the Ninth Malaysia Plan, he said here recently.
Mohd Rizlan said LIS was gradually being transformed into an innovative educational centre to would be on par with other international schools in the region as a critical element in improving the island's development infrastructure to support the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (IBFC) and the thriving oil and gas sector.
LIS, located near the Labuan Financial Park, has achieved new standards as its students are encouraged to think creatively and reason critically.
Labuan FSA, a statutory body under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance through Bank Negara, manages the school through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pristine Era Sdn Bhd (PESB).
Mohd Rizlan said LIS had made significant progress over the years and Labuan FSA was committed to its growth through a smart partnership with Cempaka Holdings Sdn Bhd, an operator of international schools.
He said the increased enrolment at LIS was an encouraging indication of the progress made by the school.
LIS, which was established in 1996, currently has more than 200 students studying at various levels in its Manjaria Kindergarten for students between four and six years old, Sekolah Sri Labuan private school offering Malaysian KBSR curriculum, and international school offering primary-level international curriculum.
Mohd Rizlan said the involvement of Labuan FSA in managing and funding the LIS since 1999 was testament to the Government's commitment to providing quality education in Labuan.
To support its aspiration to shine as a premier international school, LIS upgraded its facilities to include air-conditioned classrooms, a resource centre equipped with computers, a swimming pool, a playground and full security during schooling hours.
Mohd Rizlan said the philosophy adopted by LIS focuses on an all-round education centred on the concept of mind, body and soul and this means that LIS not only aims for academic excellence among its students but also in co-curricular activities such as swimming, music, scouting, computer club and outdoor activities such as camping, kayaking and snorkelling. – Bernama

CIO Council to approve one standard for mobile app vetting
The Defense Department's National Information Assurance Partnership's (NIAP) protection profile will be the governmentwide standard for agencies to use when ensuring the security of mobile apps. The Mobile Technology Tiger Team recommended the NIAP approach because of the collaboration and coordination across government and with industry.

It seems like the whole world is going mobile, and that includes the federal government. Agencies are using more and more apps for collaboration and productivity. But some apps increase the potential for exposing government data. To help you guard against these security risks, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is providing tips to the federal community for vetting third-party apps. Computer Scientist, Tom Karygiannis, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the guidelines.

How-To: cut a channel in concrete?
My house is built on a concrete slab. I need to cut a channel in the slab to install electric to a new kitchen island. Need to fit a 3/4" PVC conduit - the length of the channel is about 5 feet.
If it's that sort of slab, you will need another route or redesign the layout.
the channel can still be cut,,, post tension cables're installed in the middle of the slab & run in 1 direction - your odds of being parallel're 1 : 1 or 50 - 50 :laughing: they're also install'd mid-point vertically.
How do I tell if it's a post tension slab? look at the clap sides for patching cement - get a metal detector & ' sweep ' the floor
Suggestions on how to best cut the channel? diamond blade as we cut all conc.
The likelihood of your slab being post tension is very remote. It's a relatively expensive way to do a slab, and is generally considered unnecessary overkill in most residential construction. If you have no plans for your house to consult, try the building department. They keep records. Also, ask some of your neighbors. Chances are the houses in your area were built by the same contractor, and some of your neighbors may have plans.
Probably 50% of the homes built in Austin in the last 20 years are post tensioned.
hadn't realized the %age was that high, 'scar,,, expansive soils as in colorado ? ? ?
For my own edification, what is a post tension slab?
High carbon steel cables, coated with grease and a plastic sleeve are laid throughout the slab (although a whole lot less than normal rebar), with one end terminating into an anchor, and the other end left loose outside the slab.
After the slab is placed and cured, a machine is attached to the loose end of the cable that pulls it to a certain amount of tension. That end is then restrained, the excess cable is cut off and the hole patched. This puts the entire slab under compression, which is a very good way to prevent slab failure.

Budget cuts make approaching school year unpredictable
First, the district decided no school would lose transportation for more than 25 percent of their students, Rowlands said. That said, administrators are working through a complicated process that takes into account whether a student's neighborhood school could accommodate them should they lose their bus ride.
If the local campus looks full, the student has a better chance of keeping their bus ride out of the neighborhood. If the local school has enough empty desks, the student would likely lose district transportation.
At the Creative and Performing Media Arts Middle School, 833 students took buses to the popular magnet program last year. This year, just over 200 students will lose their ride.
So-called sweeper buses will roam the district in the beginning of the school year to look for students at defunct bus stops or to pick up excess students.
Some schools, especially magnets that attract students from across the city, worry that transportation cuts will hurt enrollment. Other campuses could benefit.
For example, Memorial Preparatory for Scholars and Athletes, has been struggling to build enrollment since it opened in 2008. Last year, the middle school served fewer than 25 percent of students who live in its local attendance boundaries in Logan Heights.
Memorial Prep stands to gain 224 students this year, local children who have been told they would lose their ride out of the neighborhood under the transportation cuts.
Getting more students to Memorial Prep is not simply an unintended consequence of budget cuts. It's also part of the school board's goal of establishing a culture where all neighborhood schools are as appealing as magnets or those in well-heeled neighborhoods.
The district's transportation letter informing 1,600 families they lost bus rides offers a subtle nudge toward the board's goals. "Some families may find it necessary to enroll at their resident school..."
