We pushed through the rest of New Mexico and into Arizona, stopping at a nice tourist center in Willcox (we have been making a habit of this, Syrah likes the free maps, literature, etc). We got a super cool CD to listen to that guided us from Wilcox down I-10 for about an hour or so. It told the history of Senor Coronando exploring in the 1500’s, vignettes of feuds with Native Americans, all about the military base, the Buffalo Soldiers (9th & 10th Cavalries) and geological history too. We really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone driving through. (Click here to get the CD for free).

Driving through heavy winds, we pushed Tucson and Phoenix, all the way to Desert Mountain in Scottsdale. Dave greeted us at the gate and grilled up some special Soy Vey teriyaki chicken for us too. Yum!

We did errands on 2 wheels (each) instead of the usual 4. We needed to get climbing guides for Arizona and Utah as well as any maps we might need. Click here to see the 48 mile ride we took through Scottsdale: Scottsdale Arizona
Here are some of the beautiful things we saw along the way. We love how the highways have artistic decor, no boring old walls and medians in AZ!
Thanks Dave for your hospitality, see you in a few months.
Off to magical Sedona.…
