Went last year for a good time.  :thumb:  Only catch is motel is not easy to find since it's up above the road, but that way it's quieter and it's like you're all alone.

Arizona is a big, beautiful state and you have many choices as where to live...northern Arizona (Coconino / Yavapai counties) suits me just fine!  :thumb: :cool: :1:

May 4th...... shucks! 
I've already committed to stay around until then and do the Route 66 Fun Run with the Corvette gang.  Maybe next year when my arm is better and I can ride again!

I plan on riding to Cottonwood and I live on Rte. 66.  If I see a bunch of Corvettes (not unusual), what color is yours?

I've penciled it in, but it's the same weekend as Cedar Vale!
How can I be in 2 places at once, when I'm not anywhere at all?
