We got a late start today. There was no rush since our total mileage would be fairly low. We had breakfast at the Denny's located next door to the motel. After breakfast Dick and Bill headed north to the Grand Canyon while Chuck and myself returned to our room to load the bikes. After loading the bikes we headed west on US 260 to Cottonwood, AZ and then turned south on 89-A to Jerome, AZ.
The weather was perfect. The wind had finely died down, so it was not an issue as it has been for the last several days. Highway 89-A is another one of those perfect motorcycling roads, as long as the traffic is light. We were in luck, we had no real traffic to contend with, so we were able to ride unhendered. We took a couple of breaks, and the following couple of pictures are from those stops.
South of Prescott we turned west on 96 at Kirkland Junction. This leads us back to Prescott and like 89-A is very scenic. Below is a picture taken on Highway 96
When we arrived back in Prescott, we found it was pretty early, so we decided to head to Seligman, AZ to have lunch. Seligman is famous because it is located on the Old Route 66 and the entire town is based on that theme from 50 to 60 years ago. We decided to eat lunch at the Roadkill Cafe. The food was pretty good, but at bit pricey. A hamburger, fries, and a dinner salad cost $15.00. Like all the other tourist, we contributed to the cause.
After lunch we headed to Williams, AZ where we check into our dump of a motel. Dick and Bill were already there from their visit to the Grand Canyon. We decided to order pizza instead of getting back on the bikes to go eat.
