In Honor of my snowbound friends....

[videoarizona]

Since we are having a heat wave.....81 right now....thought I would help you all out who are resting from shoveling the "White Stuff...":cold:

 

First...went to Rio Rico...Nickels Diner for BBQ...

 

Notice I didn't leave anything for youse gals and guys. Sorry, but I was hungry.

 

Then...

 

 

Stopped in Tubac to visit the museum.....cool place.

 

Tomorrow, I think I'll loop down to the border and then up to Sonoita with a stop for lunch at my favorite little hotel in Patagonia.

I'll post pics if I do the ride.

 

Hope this helps....

Good too see your out of the three diget temperatures and can ride in comfort for a change. Oven heat is no fun to ride in.

It is only 100° cooler here right now.

 

But since I am still laid up, it is a nice balmy 64° in the house.

Hey Vid, you got an extra room for a quiet retired couple with good ol 87' down there? , sounds pretty good right about now.

UPDATE:

 

Took the trip yesterday to the border, then up to Patagonia. Didn't go to the lake but did stop for pics at the Bird Sanctuary area off the road. You can then go hiking into the birding area during season and get to see the migrating birds. I just took pics and moved on.

 

 

Then headed into "town", such as it is, and ate lunch at the hotel. Stage Stop Inn. Seriously. Across the street is the railroad depot...preserved.

older picture showing hotel. @KIC has been there too! Our VR's are in background. We rode with @KIC and his friends for a breakfast ride last year.

 

After a good lunch, I headed on to Sonoita. Not much more than a crossroads town, but it is the heart of wine country in southern AZ. Beautiful grass lands, rolling hills and wonderful two lanes to ride on. This pic is just before town.

 

 

Then headed north back to Green valley VIA Rt 83 and it's nice twisties and Sahuarita road to Green Valley. Nice ride...took 4 hours. Now the weather is turning...cooler and windy this weekend as a cold front moves through. May have to put a sweater on!

As it happens ma nature cut us a break, temps just above freezing this week into next.
