ARIZONA ROADTRIP

WE MOVED UP TO “THE MOUNTAIN” LAST MONDAY, AND ON TUESDAY AFTER WE FINISHED UNLOADING WE GOT TOGETHER WITH OUR FRIENDS, THE HUNTERS, FOR A COCKTAIL. THEY  WERE LOADING UP THEIR MOTORHOME FOR A LONG WEEK-END IN LAKE HAVASU…. AND… SO….

WHAT THE HELL, AFTER ONE DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN WE DECIDED TO JOIN THEM AT THEIR FIRST STOP IN SELIGMAN, AZ.

WE’VE MADE PIT STOPS IN SELIGMAN, AZ BEFORE, BUT HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE TIME TO DO A WALK ABOUT. THEIR CLAIM TO FAME IS THAT THEY ARE THE HOME OF ROUTE 66, OR THE HEART OF ROUTE 66, OR IF YOU’RE YOUNGER THAN 14 THIS IS “RADIATOR SPRINGS” FROM THE MOVIE, CARS.

SELIGMAN IS ALSO HOME TO THE WORLD FAMOUS “ROADKILL CAFE, YOU KILL IT, WE GRILL IT”"

WE ENJOYED OUR EVENING WITH THE HUNTERS AND GOT CAUGHT UP SINCE WE LAST SAW THEM IN JANUARY. A FEW MORE PICS ….

ON THURSDAY MORNING THE HUNTERS CONTINUED ON TO LAKE HAVASU AND MARY AND I TURNED THE HONDA SOUTH INTO A NEW AREA FOR US, AND WENT TO THE PRESCOTT VALLEY. PRESCOTT, AZ IS AN AN OLD WESTERN TOWN AND WAS THE CAPITOL OF THE ARIZONA TERRITORY BACK IN THE 1800’S. THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SQUARE DOWNTOWN. THE WHOLE SQUARE IS BARS, RESTAURANTS, AND GIFT SHOPPING. WE STAYED IN THE OLD HOTEL ST MICHEALS RIGHT ON THE SQUARE.

WE LOVED PRESCOTT !! AND CAN’T WAIT FOR ANOTHER VISIT.

FRIDAY MORNING IT WAS ON TO PHOENIX TO MEET UP WITH DAVE AND CINDY WHO PROMISED LAST FEBUARY TO TAKE US BAR HOPPING ON THE LIGHT RAIL.

IT WAS A GREAT DAY. WE CAUGHT THE LIGHT RAIL OUT IN MESA NEAR THEIR HOME IN GILBERT AND WITH AN ALL DAY $2 PASS WE SPENT THE DAY BAR HOPPING. WE HIT THE ASU COLLEGE CAMPUS, CHASE FIELD, DOWNTOWN, AND HAD A GREAT TIME!

WE ENJOYED FRIDAY FISH AT AN IRISH PUB, STAYED OVER, AND SOBERED UP FOR OUR RETURN TRIP TO “THE MOUNTAIN” THROUGH THE SALT RIVER CANYON ON SATURDAY MORNING.
