Rusty and I had planned to repeat our USA Four Corners ride last year, which was postponed till this year because Vera and I purchased a new home, but then Rusty had to have surgery two weeks ago to replace his ACL and he was forced to take time off from work that left him with not enough time to take off to complete this ride. So instead we are going to complete a shorter ride that will be to the Grand Canyon and back. Departure date is scheduled for June 10th.
