October 2009 I just want to ride my motorcycle.....

Ok so the biggest thing that happened in October was that we bought a new motorcycle. Her name is Rosebud and here are some of the motorcycle trips we went on with her.

Flagstaff to Phoenix, Globe, Flagstaff This was not a super exciting trip, but we got to ride by Roosevelt Lake and shoot with my dad. We started by riding down to Sedona. Having lunch at Wildflower Bakery and then headed through Cornville and Camp Verde to I17. We then drove through Phoenix to Maricopa where my maternal side of the family was given the key to the city.

The next day we got to go shooting with my dad in Casa Grande. We then put all of our gear together hopped on the bike and rode from Chandler to Globe. From Globe we rode by Roosevelt Lake to Payson and then up along the Rim. We rode by Lake Mary in the cold and then on to Flagstaff.

Flagstaff to Cameron and Page 89-A

We rode from Flagstaff to Cameron where we had lunch in the beautiful dinning room. This is a historical trading post that serves meals in resturant with a silver tiled celing with antique furniture, a huge fireplace and Navajo Rugs adorning the wall. The lunch was awesome. I had a Navajo Taco and Bryan had the Beef Stew with Fry Bread. Both were quite tasty, but it was a lot of food. The next time we went we just ordered the Beef Stew with two fry breads. After our very filling lunch we rode on to Page, Lake Powell, and the Utah Border. Really there is nothing much to say except this is a fun ride with some nice altitude changes and scenery. On our way back to Flagstaff there was a guy hearding sheep on an ATV as well as some very cool art work on abandoned buildings. Both were not things that you experience everyday.

We also participated in Homecoming Weekend with ASWI and took some short rides to Sedona and work in the cold.
