Hi Versey  

I don't know how your found that "Gem" of a Ride , but I'm glad you did !  

As long as we don't try it in the Monsoon Season  : "Summer brings the drama of monsoon storms, where lightning puts on better shows than any fireworks display."  
A few weeks before or after either way is OK with me .    I'll bring a rain suit anyway !  

Hay Lancer

You want to ride-share from your house ?  

Will be glad to meet ya BabyDerp  !

Hopefully YouzGuyz and the Texas group can join us .  

So I found this site that puts together a nice ride yearly for the last two years.   It's published for all to see and would be easy to do anytime .    The one last year was the Black Hills and Sturgis area.   Here is 2025's ride.

So , First thing in 2025 (If we don't get Nuked) would be :

 Arizona‘s State Route 89A is where Mother Nature shows off her best work, serving up jaw-dropping views with a side of adventure!  

Versey , did you find us an affordable place to stay yet ?   I'm Ok with the "Camping Cabin" low budget option but can pitch in with what-ever we find , If I need to join the hunt for us a place let me know.  

Deb and I spent 10 days in Tucson in the fall of 2017 when I retired from my full time job.  We rented a motorcycle for a couple of days and Serowbot was our tour guide for those rides.....he did a great job showing us the good roads and scenic areas.

The area had some really fun roads to ride, as well as fun touristy things to do.  The Titan Missile Museum, the Desert Museum, The Aircraft Bone Yard and we visited the old mining town of Bisbee where the Copper Queen mine is located.  It would be easy to spend a week in that area alone.

I didn't find any state park cabins yet, there was 1 hopeful but it turned out to be in the middle of nowhere and really meant to be a hiking base camp.  I don't know if we'll ever find a place like the ranch house at shriners

But I'm putting this on my bucket list as it's between Interstate 40 and Interstate 10.  And I can take it on the way to lancers.

We should think about Cody Wy (beartooth pass) and I'd also like to visit mt. rushmore

Some of these places sleep 6 or 8  :   https://www.travelocity.com/Hotel-Search?rfrr=hotel.search&GOTO=HOTSEARCH&Sea...

I'm thinking that $35-40 each / per day is about the best we'll find  ????  
.................

Hay on old Hwy 66 there are lots of older Motels , like this one :  https://www.travelocity.com/Flagstaff-Hotels-INN-ON-66.h107131125.Hotel-Infor...

For  $80.00 per night for two beds we could get a few rooms ,   Maybe the new guy don't snore ?  

Somebody devise a bed devider and I'll share !   Me , Dave , and Batman split a 10 foot tent last year and it worked out OK !  

I used the last full week of April for a date Sunday - Saturday

Better  !   https://www.travelocity.com/Grand-Canyon-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Flagstaff....

two full beds and a pair of bunk beds for under $100.00 per night !   Somebody do a long range weather check ... we better lock this deal in before it gets gone !  

Quick ... give me a date to lock it-in on !     With free breakfast and Wi-Fi to boot !  

It's my bed time I'll check back tomorrow , I don't think we'll get any better but ya'll look tomorrow , and let's lock in a date .   I don't know anything about the weather in late April in Az. ?

Seriously , I think we should lock in that four beds , Breakfast , and Wi-Fi  for $100. / night !    We could slip in a 5th person on that couch looking of a thing if we needed too !

And go see a new area closer to your house.   Hopefully YouzGuyz can come join us for a week ?  

Are you thinking in Spring ?

I'm beginning to think life is too short ?  I've only got 31 year's left , and those last 10 years being on a "Trail 125" ain't going to be good for no long trips !!

My situation has not improved, so it is highly unlikely that I will be able to join you on this adventure.
Ya'll go and have fun!!!!
