Day 9, 10 and 11

Day 9
Spent the day sleeping and hanging around.  We were out late last night...

Day 10 - Monday October 14th.
Even though it was Columbus Day (Canadian Thanksgiving) we headed over to Ricor Shocks.  We met the crew and got to work rebuilding Kyle's rear shock.  It was really cool to see all the intricate parts that go into the shocks.
The guys at Ricor were super friendly and helpful.   We went for lunch at In & Out (first for both of us!) with the founder of Ricor, Don Richardson.  Very nice guy!  We then headed over to Carters Powersports and got our wheels balanced.  We had thrown some weights on in Montana but it was nice to make it a bit more precise.
We then went to Walmart to purchase some groceries for supper and did an oil change in their parking lot.  Gotta love $12 5L bottles of oil.  A lot of running around today.

Day 11
We spent the morning walking around waiting for one last package to come in from Warp 9.  At about 2:00pm we picked it up from my cousins house and headed to Tucson for the night.   We drove by the Hoover Dam, but it was closed.  Not much of a highlight.
You may notice Trevor is carrying an extra tire.  We both ordered second rear tires to Las Vegas. I put mine on already as the old one chucked about half the knobs.   Not sure why.  Trevor's is still holding up well.
 Not sure if you can see them in the photos, but this is where the first real cactus' started appearing.  The ones that you see in childhood stories.

We got in around 10, grabbed some food and headed to bed.
