Beginning of Arizona

I haven't written in a while, mainly because for the last four nights
I have been on dinner crew, and had to make dinner for everyone. It's
been fun, but I don't get in my daily nap, or blog session. So for the
updates, we rode into Cortez, Co on the 3rd. It was a short ride,
don't remember to much from it, but the next day was awesome. We left
Cortez to head to teec nos pos, Az for our fourth of July celebration.
We rode through four corners, which was pretty cool, I took some
awesome pictures. However, I did not take part in the human pyramid
from fear that my 8th grade broken wrist incident would happen once
again. Instead, I took the picture. We stayed at four corners for
awhile to eat lunch and then headed out for the last 20 or so miles.
Teec nos pos was quite the desolate town. There was a medical center
and a school, we stayed at the school. The whole day we were awaiting
the infamous thrift store prom. We decorated the gym, including a
photo booth, and then began the dance party. It was incredibly fun. We
danced the night away in our awesome outfits. Me and my date, the
wonderful Andrew Erwin, had matching outfits. I rocked a jean dress,
while he wore a jean onesie, and we both had tie dye headbands. The
night started off with the pledge of allegiance, and everything got
crazy from there. We stayed up extra late...probably until midnight,
which is huge in the bike and build world.

The next morning we were all extremely tired and took a couple extra
hours to get ready, while finishing the amazing left over dairy queen
ice cream cake. The day thankfully was a shorter day, all on one road
to Kayenta, Az. In Kayenta we made the most delicious dinner we have
had yet, brought to you by the one and only genghis khan chore group
(all our chore groups our named after fearless dictators). We made
stir fry with tofu and brown rice, and it was delicious. After dinner
we played wiffle ball an then poker with popcorn kernels. I won
everyones popcorn in poker, totally beginners luck. Today we arrived
in Tuba City to some interesting locals, had dinner, and then did an
affordable housing presentation. Now it's bed time, good night.
