E. T. Rides Again! – Lunch at Space Age Restaurant and More

E. T. has the munchies and has decided to have lunch at the Space Age Restaurant in Gila Bend. On the way, he’ll do some sightseeing at the Historic Gillespie Dam Bridge along the old US Hwy 80. After lunch, E. T. wants to check out some cars made for his size at the Dwarf Car Museum in Maricopa, then he’ll ride to what must be the closest place we can get with our bikes in the valley to Outer Space at the top of South Mountain at the Gila Valley Lookout, where you can see the valley as well as observe the antennas that beam all our nauseating TV programs into Outer Space for E. T.’s relatives to enjoy. Afterwards, he’ll return to wherever it is that he goes while we take our separate ways back to our homes.
