Pie for lunch

We did a loop ride that took us on the Coronado Trail road. This road takes you through the copper open pit mine in Morenci, AZ and then for 90 miles of winding blacktop. We stopped in Alpine for lunch at the Bear Wallow Cafe. The total ride was right at 300 miles. The weather was comfortably cool and sunny.

Part of the open pit mine. Look for the hauling trucks at the bottom.

Going up to country

A quick 3 day trip from our homes to the White Mountains of Arizona and New Mexico. Clay from Tempe, Roland from West Tejas and me met today in Silver City, NM. Tomorrow we'll do a loop ride on the Coronado Trail and back. Hope to have more pictures for tomorrow's post.
