Day 1 - And we're Riding :-)
We headed out early this morning and completed the drive from Washington, UT to Laughlin, NV where we left the truck and trailer. It didn't take long once we arrived - packed and off within the hour.
The ride today was 265 Miles and took us from Laughlin, south to Lake Havasu including a section of the famed Route 66, and then East to Prescott AZ.
Lake Havasu was incredible. Sand beaches and 'cigarette' boats everywhere .... It's said to be a real party place during spring break - I can see why. Lake Havasu is also the home of the London Bridge. The Bridge was originally constructed in London in 1831 and was sold in 1962 to Robert McCulloch, founder of Lake Havasu. Read how and why the bridge ended up in Lake Havas here. Hard to believe it was literally moved from London, England to Lake Havasu.
From Lake Havasu we went south through Parker and then East to Prescott, AZ. The last 40 miles into Prescott, Arizona ...incredible! Dave, if your reading this, it was ' Ripleys! '. We climbed out of the dessert and cactus up to 6100ft and into Pondersa Pines. The road was incredible with more twists and turns then you can imagine. No question ... the best road I've ridden on a motorcycle yet.
Prescott, Arizona seems like a real gem. We're off to check out down town and grab dinner.
.... enjoy the pictures.
