Lake Roosevelt, Globe and Miami

[ddannen]

A couple of us went to Payson for breakfast just a little 100-150 mile hop for good home cooking at the Knotty Pine restaurant.
We were just sitting there enjoying our breakfast and was wondering where we should go.
It was suggested that we take the 188 turnoff to Roosevelt lake and then continue down the road to Globe and Miami via the 60.

We are pretty happy in Arizona our lakes are full and we even have areas where the trees are submerged. Great Bass fishing!

Norm,
I got a trip coming up in a few weeks and if we move swiftly we may make Vancouver BC.
I might just get a chance to check out your country :)

We don't really have a rainy season, we are just thankful for any rain LOL :stirpot:

Hi Ddannen,
If you like Seatle you will probably like Vancouver. Its a great city to visit. Too big for me to live there though. I like the one-stop-light kind of town. Cheers, norm

[ddannen]

I really like the pacific northwest, I realize we will be riding in a lot of rain but that is just part of the trip. :choppersm
The scenery in that part of the world is soooooo different from Aridzona
We really appreciate the spring here because it is the only time of the year the brown gets tinged with green LOL :D

I just did this ride and it was awesome.
