Day 2
Day 2 started early .... again :-(. When you're riding with Kwasy, you're riding early. Another great day of riding with not a cloud in the sky and temperatures reaching into the thirty's by mid afternoon.
We started the day with a quick trip back into the core of Prescott and into some of the neighborhoods near the downtown. The city has incredible charm and is without question one of my new favorite cities. Prescott claims to be located in the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines which give is the British Columbia feel combined with desert. A must visit for anyone in the area.
We rode East along a number of secondary roads. The ride along Roosevelt Lake provided incredible colors with the lake blue and red rock around the shores. Saturday brought out the sport fisherman ... the lake was full of them. We also ran across a gang of 'Vespa' rider. There had to be at least 30 of them. You can see from the one picture, the lead scooter held Kwasy at bay for probably 3 miles ... he couldn't make the pass.
One of the highlights of the day was the lunch stop. Superior Arizona, where the restaurant was very plain, but the chicken Burritos were incredible and service great.
We took Hwy177 SW from Superior, AZ. The ride took us by an open pit mine operated by ASARCO Mines. It was an enormous operation and hard to fathom the size of the operation. A giant hole and down the road an enormous mound of rock from the excavation.
