Head to Phoenix


9 April 09 (Thursday) Sunny

At 9:20 a.m. we headed to Phoenix from El Centro rest area. We rode to Araz Junction and got back onthe GPS track again. When we stopped over at a gas station and took a break, TR did a very good job. He proposed to post a pix of the shop and Solar Car to upload on the website for publicity. His proactive idea made him got a sponsorship from the manager.

Green Man met a nice guy too. Chris, manager of Checker Auto Parts invited us to visit his shop and asked a paper to interview GM there. He also sponsored support van with some automotive supplies. As well, we got a free lunch at Lulu’scafé and free accommodation at Space Age Motel at 61/a Bend motel. Thanks Lulu’s and Space Age Motel!!! Also thanks to our Harley motorcycle driving buddy! He gave us a big hand to make a wonderful movie with his motorcycle.

As usual, if GM found some interested things or beautiful scenery during the journey, he would ask us to take pix or make a film immediately. There were road runners and rabbits,and lots of people taking shots of the solar car from their vehicles, pulled over to the side of the road.
Diana: Wow what an adventure. Leaving the sand storm, ending up at Lulu’s, getting rides on a harley. Stopping by the Space Age motel and getting a wonderful room and a pool- courtesy of them. The generosity of people on the road is so amazing.
