10/28/2007 Gila, AZ- Go Ron Paul!

Category: Stops

In Gila Bend, AZ. Small town south-west of Phoenix. Had a great day. 80 miles was intimidating. One mountain range in my way. 112 degrees in the midday sun according to my bike computer. At about 60 miles, as my body started to protest a bit and the shadows started getting long, I started wondering if I would be spending my first night in the desert. The dogs came out from a farm for a chase and I found new stregnth :)). By the time they gave up I was close enough to start counting down the miles. I made it off the freeway just before sunset and rolled into town. WOW.

Had a great day on the road for RP. Had more honks from passerby, even a freight train. I’m finding the rest areas a great place to talk to people. Even better is the type of people I am talking to. Definite voter types. I cannot stress enough that people are interested in a better choice and how thankful they are when we offer one. Many today read my fliers while standing there and asked questions. It is becoming time that people are aware they have to make a choice. We need to get out and promote RP. People are ready for him.

Most laughed at the way I described the media’s mistreatment of RP, and agreed that they have lost the plot and are becoming irrelevent. That helps in promoting. I, also, was really glad Yuma had given me some AZ voter reg forms as one guy was so taken he asked me how to register. I was stoked to reach in my pack and hand him a form

The Phoenix MU came out to meet me today and did a bit of taping for youtube. These guys rock. They brought me an RP banner to hang and other goodies, took some weight of me and then rode ahead and booked me a room. Thanks Phoenix. I really look forward to going through their town.
