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!

Have to excuse me for the quality of pics, a lot were taken on the fly

Boy thats a nice patch, can't wait to see the other ones....TK.....

The weather could not have been better, just a great day.

This is a quick view of Roosevelt dam as we crossed the bridge.

Time for a staged photo op:spank:

My trip up the PCH is only a few weeks away so the beard is getting scraggly, got to look the part LOL

Hard to imaging 100+ degrees is right around the corner

Good old open pit mining :nono:

We have plenty of mountains just not a lot of trees LOL

I love these tunnels gives you a chance to go vroom vroom :choppersm

All in all we had a great day!

Thanks to Willem, Dick and Gary for stretching breakfast out to 300+ miles.
Great trip guys:choppersm:choppersm:choppersm:choppersm

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

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

I know its kind of an old thread... but the wife and I took this trip last weekend. Peoria (101) >> Tempe (202) >> 60 East >> Globe for breakfast >> Roosevelt >> Prescott >> back to Phoenix...theres a junction coming south on that freeway from Prescott where it splits...east back to Roosevelt and West to Phoenix via Mesa. All in all about 7 hours for us and absolutely beautiful. She wants to do it again this weekend (9/27) if someone wants to join us!

I'm interested in the ride, but have a couple of questions. The route is Globe, roosevelt, Prescott, Phoenix. What road do you take from Roosevelt to Prescott, or do you mean Payson? What time are you planning on leaving? I live in Gilbert (US60/Mesa Drive).

Crap I meant Payson sorry. We didnt make the trip yesterdayy decided it was gonna be too hot since temps were up over 100 again. We're tentatively planning this weekend (6 days from today). Semd me an email [email protected] if interested we can meet somewhere. We'll probably head out about 730 or so have breakfast in globe.

edit: Just found this ride dunno how long it is looks maybe 350 miles or so? What do you guys think? http://www.vtxcafe.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=804&d=1176092389

Looks like were not doing this ride tomorrow wife and I arent feeling too hot...were tentatively planning next weekend though if anyone wants to go. The loop I shamelesslessly linked above from another post is about 300 miles. We'll probably head out of peoria at about 730 or so. Should be a great full day ride!
