    Final day.  I attack the road at 7:45, taking US-60 west to Phoenix.  Then I-10 to California.  I've been on these roads several times, so I think I was riding in that fog where you see the traffic around you, but you don't really know where you are.  I used my sahara vest all day.  It was already 104 in Phoenix, and 102 in Indio.  In Redlands, I took the shortcut of CA-30 to I-210 and home.  Somewhere as I was traveling along I-210 near Pasadena, it finally dawned on me that I was almost home.  I was about 30 from home at that time.  I made it home at 3:30.  I unpacked, started looking at the piles of mail, and relaxed.  Sunday, I would work my way through all of the mail and catch up on bills.  I pay via the internet, using my credit union's billpay system,  so I didn't worry when I was on my trip.
