I woke up early this morning and drove the twists toward Tortilla Flats. Fun drive! If you get there early enough you will only share the road with those enjoying their cars and bikes. Anyway, here are several pics of a beautiful AZ morning... of course my Vette managed to get in the way of a couple of the pics.

Did you go all the way to the end of the pavement? That was always a favorite ride when I lived in Tempe and rode sport bikes. And I still think the diner in Tortilla Flats made the best Mexican eggs I ever had.

Thanks. Coming up on the 12th starting at 12:00 there is going to be a car show next to Checkers (same place we met). I hope to see you there. We are lucky to live in this beautiful state.
