As the weather cools, rides out of the desert become a much more pleasant endeavor. This weekend a very spontaneous ride to Silver city, New Mexico popped up. As it turns out, there are lots of old mining ghost towns in that area and the plan is to visit several of them. Google Mogollon, NM. Fascinating little place and there are others.
Today we took a leisurely trip across US 60 and 260 in eastern Arizona through Globe , Pinetop/Lakeside. Elevation was 9400 feet past Mount Baldy and the temperature dropped to 58F. Trust me that felt cool after recent consistent highs still in the 90s. Aspens are blazing yellow! Stopped in Alpine, AZ for the night. Headed for Silver City, New Mexico tomorrow morning.
