I'm riding to meet Sherm for a little three day ride to escape the high valley temperatures and took these pictures at Whipple Lake in Prescott, AZ. Those are natures designs on the rocks.

I had to walk a long way from the bike for this picture. I'm getting pretty old for that.

I had ridden up here a week ago to meet Pat and Sherm for breakfast and took this picture then.
My breakfast then were these two chili relleno's and a shredded beef enchilada.


Today, I'm having Machaca and beans while visiting with Maury and Sherm

Yum Yum

Sherm got an important phone call that had to be dealt with immediately so I spent the time documenting the event.

At least the tree kept it interesting

Those three years of law school are paying off!

Sherm had never been to Strawberry so we stopped by for a visit to the only historical site there.
It's been around for awhile. Classes were held from 1885 until 1916


Now it is renown for it's convenient motorcycle parking

We had been passed earlier by a DPS Trooper and we saw why as we rode around this fatality. He/she is still lying in the road under the blanket. So sad, I'm sure they had started out this day looking forward to having a good time in the high country.

We are staying at the Nine Pines motor inn and this is the first time I have seen a mounted Javalina.

I've always heard they can do major damage to a person. Looking at those teeth I guess so!

Love this Motor Inn, not a lot of instant curb appeal, but different from so many others we passed, the sign read VACANCY!



After checking in we were pleased with it's cleanliness as well as it historic past.

Helmets and Hash Browns for breakfast Not planned, but we crossed the continental divide 6 times on this trip. Four of those crossing were first for both of us. Boot Heel in Animas Right behind Boot Heel I've ridden past the tiny village of Portal several times always saying I'll stop next time. This was next time. Sherm wanted to check out the Gadsen Hotel in Douglass. We both made the right decision. Meet Portal.......this is all it is until .......... They bring in live music Dead snakes I give you all a better than 50/50 chance of guessing what this car is. 1928 phone number is only 4 digits Ha ve you guessed it yet? Just past Portal is Cave Creek Canyon It's referred to as Arizona's Yosemite A few old historic buildings still in the canyon Along with beautiful rock formations Cutest girl I saw all day! Canopied roads make me feel good In person, they were almost luminescent I think this guy liked Minions I must too........ .......to show them all to you! Okay, but ...

A couple of Honda's at the Hon Dah Some mild Wild Life Enjoying their home on the range. The Little Colorado River originates about 15 or 20 miles from this little town of Greer, AZ. There are several of these little scrub cabins here in Greer. I think they are just some old trapper cabins from the 1800's It is apparent that the firefighters were really working hard to protect them from being lost to the Wallow Fire. In spite of their efforts, many were lost. It's hard to believe that was nine years ago. I might be able to afford to rent this one for a night. Our intended breakfast encounter. Sherm is riding past the Rendezvous Cafe where we were hoping to have breakfast. Unfortunately they weren't open These guys greeted us without pandemic mask when we finally made it to an establishment that was serving breakfast. By the time we finally made it, it was called lunch. After breakfast we decided to ride around the local roads just to see what we might see. Nice old 54? ...

Yea! Finally getting to visit Patience and little Shannon again. Oh no! Not that guy again! Just don't look him in the eye, maybe he'll go away. If I close my eyes he ain't there. Hmmm, how come grandpa Ken is enjoying this so much? From the age of 8 until almost 14 Patience has ridden over 30k with me on my summer trips. In that time I think we visited around 30 states also. When I offered to take her for a walk she instantly got over her shyness, grabbed my hand and off we went. No shyness at all with this guy. After our walk, she, I and Patience all went for a ride around the neighborhood. Like her mother, she was a natural OK gramps, we're going for another ride, but this time you're sitting in back! Here we are taking another walk. I think we did at least a mile. While at it she tried out all of the neighbors toys! Technically I think it is called Grand Theft Auto  We've come a long way Baby! I'm still a kid Patience and her father at their new business...
