SO the weather back east isn't improving. I've settled on a 3 day tour of AZ
Day 1: Depart Dallas after work on Friday, ride to Abilene for a headstart (I've decided to try not to ride more than 350 miles a day on this trip)
Day 2: Abilene to Van Horn TX
Day 3: Van Horn to Safford,AZ..
Day 4:: Ride AZ191, the 'Western Dragon' AKA 'The Devil's Highway' from back in the day when it was the 6th spur off of 66, i.e. Hwy 666 460-odd curves in about 60 miles...elevations up to 9,000 ft
Ride South to north out of Morenci, home of the largest open pit copper mine in the history of the universe
Overnight in Show Low
Day 5: Show Low to Globe to Payson and up thru Happy Jack to overnight in Flagstaff
Day 6: Flagstaff to Wickenburg via Sedona, Jerome and Prescott via 89A
Then ride til I get tired and plan my return trip from a cozy room somewhere south and east of Phoenix?
Take Thu and Fri and maybe part of Sat to get home
