 Today’s ride brought us into the heart of watermelon country: Fowler, Colorado. Bob, a county commissioner, gets very tired of hearing Abel go on and on about his high-falootin’ C-Leg. When he’s finally had enough, he decides to kick Abel’s good leg in order to try to make him vacate the premises.
|
 Luke and AJ didn’t realize that Abel’s family tree has many branches in Fowler. We were met by his numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who put out quite the spread for our arrival.
|
 Here we see Mayor Bushy trying to persuade the chief of police to let the riders go without hauling them into the local slammer for speeding down Main Street on their bikes. After all, they are supposed to be staying at Mayor Bushy’s hotel tonight and he doesn’t want to lose any customers.
|
 Luke and his mom attempt to bribe Mayor Bushy into officially naming today “Myers Day” in order to get Luke some free food at the neighborhood dive.
|
 The princess is “soooo parched” that she can’t even make spit. See? It’s a dry tongue.
|
 Abel’s Tia Ruth and Tio Joe just can’t believe that they put Abel in charge of two other riders, money, and a vehicle!
|
 Tia Florita and Tio Joe don’t think Abel’s jokes are funny but Abel doesn’t seem to notice.
|
 Tio Joe and Tio Ralph, along with cousins Bobby and Dorothy, seem to really be enjoying themselves while Abel attempts The Mexican Hat Dance with only one leg. It’s good that the sombrero he used was circular since that’s the only type of dancing he can do. AJ is quite peeved at Abel for stealing the show. She was going to teach everyone how to do the Bilateral Boogie.
|
 After hearing “glory days” stories about climbing the water tower from his Tio Joe, Abel is trying to talk everyone into having a one-legged race to the top of the tower. Mayor Bushy said that it would be punishable by death as this is the town’s only way of storing grain alcohol and they can’t afford to have a leak.
|
 Abel doesn’t like close-up pictures of his face because he’s afraid that someone watching America’s Most Wanted will recognize him and turn him in for the bounty. They wouldn’t get much of an award, though, as he’s only worth about 15 cents. His leg, however, is worth more than AJ’s house and car both.
