Arizona Trip, Mormon Lake

Photo of our bikes at Mormon Lake, AZ.

It's been a long Cold day. Hands are freezing cold. Body and legs feel fine though. On our way to a campground by Sedona.

Arizona Trip, Twisties

Today is what the whole trip was about, riding the Coronado Trail, US Hwy 191, what we consider to be one of the roads in the western USA for motorcycle riding.

This is a photo of our bikes in Clifton, AZ, at the southern start of the highway. Last night we camped off the side of the road midway up the highway. This morning we rode north and came back south through New Mexico on highway 180. And then back over to Clifton, where we took another pass at the Coronado Trail.

Arizona Trip, Leaving in the Morning

It was fun night by the campfire. Really cold out. But we all packed warm sleeping bags. Another long day of riding ahead.

Arizona Trip, Camp Set Up

We couldn't get into Kartchner Caverns campground, nor Patagonia Lake campground. So rode up a road into Coronado National Forest and found a trailhead. We parked our bikes at the trailhead and hauled our camp gear out for about 100 feet.

Cooking brauts, drinking beer and Jack D.

Arizona Trip, Ran Out Of Gas

Brian runs out of gas on the Interstate, just two miles from the station. His Ultra Classic just doesn't good mileage. Good news is that Larry brought a siphon and we were able to get some gas out of one of the Goldwings.

Arizona Camping - Staging

5:00am, Temecula, CA. We Americans have this habit of starting road trips very early. I wonder why that is?

Did we inherit this from our fore fathers?

Back when people still rode horses, and covered wagons, and make that long migration west, did the man of the house say, "Come on Martha, I want to get an early start on that long dusty trail"?
