Incredible Drive in Central AZ

windypoint · 01-23-2008, 12:16 PM

Hey Gang,
I just did an amazing drive loop that really tested the S2000 abilities and mine. Started in Tucson and went North on AZ77 to Globe, then AZ 60 through Salt River Canyon (way cool) on up to Show Low. Stayed there but next time I would stay in Pine Top. Followed 60 the next day to Eager and then down HWY 180/191 to Safford. That is the most amazing road I have driven for turns and views. Very little traffic as it was still cold and snow on the side of the road. There was a sign that said no plowing or patrols on the weekends. I only saw one cop just before Eager. After Safford, I carried on to I-10 and home. All in all around 600 miles. This is a must drive for you when you can. Pictures as soon as I can get them from my friend that accompanied me.

I wanna go! How far is AZ from OK? Is a long weekend a possibility? Gotta check out Mapquest!

took 89 north from sedona once. went to flagstaff and then on to the grand canyon. the trip back south on 89 after dark was thrilling. i was in a rental car, not an s2000, so it wasn't what it could have been. almost as good as some of the north georgia roads.

Well, let's stop talking about it and make a plan. Late March would be good. Meet in Phoenix area. let me know your thoughts.
