How to not die part 6 of 90

We have climbed a mountain on a 12in shoulder of highway along the CA60, burned our brains in 118 degree Mojave and Colorado Deserts in a variet of ways (mid-day-solar-oven-people-cooker camp above), and rested our pretty little heads 12ft from 90mph eighteen wheelers near Hope, AZ. Since we have been molded, pressed and reformed, its time to complete the TEMPERING process and go swim.
We rode a leg of 160mi over 30 hours and made it to Tempe, AZ outside Phoenix. We are safe, sharp, and in good company at a place called The Bike Coop (below), as awesome as any other coop but run out of a backyard of a 3 bedroom house by residents John Ryan, Allison, and Daniel! We are in the Phoenix area until our show Monday night at Trunk Space! So excited to play!
Especially after last nights rain. We rode our bikes through 12in deep lakes at flooded Phoenix intersections only to arrive at our stop to find the trailer bag completely flooded and everything inside it soaked...The best part - the water came from our punctured 5gal water bag! An inside job! Well we are airing out our amp today in the normal 120 Phoenix sunlight.
