Big Cactus, Eddie and I embarked on a two day trip to Southern AZ. Leaving from the Phoenix Metro area we rode south, took the long road to our overnight location in Sierra Vista. We totaled 387 miles on Saturday, 285 on our return Sunday.

Here are some photo's. As I said in the original thread looking for riders, I don't stop much so pictures are scarce. Maybe Big Cactus can add some??? He got the camera out a bit more than I.

For reference, grab a map, stay off the freeways and go south to Casa Grande, through the Tohono O'odham reservation, east to Sells, to Kitt Peak Observatory, south at Tres Robles to Arivaca, west to I-19, south to Nogales, east to Sierra Vista. Sunday we rode to Bisbee, Tombstone, Sonoita, Tucson, Florence then home in Scottsdale.

No casualties though BigCactus put her down in some Sand at a walking pace...

Thanks for joining me. I sure had fun!
