Arizona road trip with the stroker
This Friday is my first big road trip with the stroker. Oakland to Tucson and then taking the long way back thru Death Valley. Other than trips to Anaheim this will be the first major outing. I'm guessing that there well be a few open stretches along the way.

Crowded drive through Cali, or cruise across past Reno and grab 95 south? Lots of open stretches that way in through Nevada to stretch your legs. Plus easy access to Death Valley from that side.

To get there the plan is to just go down 5 and across thru Bakersfield then over to 40 passing the Bagdad Cafe stopping in Lake Havasu. Big snow in the Sierras this week so going thru Reno on the way down doesn't look so good. Coming back Death Valley is a must, hoping it the flowers will be in bloom. Great photo ops. Gas mileage will be interesting. The 30# injectors are thirsty little suckers.

Mt Lemmon
^^^Hit Mt Lemmon on Sun while 87 year young Dad's in town. Temps were 64 at the base and 37 up top with a bit of snow (9,157') Let's set up a day to caravan up with Miktbte^^, Van and anyone else in the area who would like to jump in. Look forward to seeing the stroker (and Van of course) while in town. T

Without having the snow report handy, 58 across near Bakersfield passes Lake Isabella. Is that the route you are looking at? It's a pretty good ride down towards Mojave, then flattens out on the way towards Barstow to pick up 40 east and the turn south towards Lake Havasu. Should be an awesome ride this time of the year.

Fill your pockets with that snow now. In a month or maybe two, you will really need it.

Great time, if you can come down 93 east of Kingman threw Joshua Tree National Forest, that is a nice road to cruise.
I won't be able to make the ride, unless my current project can get wrapped up.

Stepped off a plane in Phoenix a few years back and said to a friend: feels cooler here than where I just left....Corpus Christi, TX. He asked me if I was nuts and stated it was the hottest day of the year (122). It actually felt cooler that TX with there high humidity levels. Mikebte..you can ride with me in the ***-dragger if you like. T
