DAY 17 Trip To Tucson Arizona 5-6-09

Day 17, Wednesday, 5-6-09, was the last day in Tucson and we rode up to the Oracle Inn, in Oracle Arizona. We went there because it was hot in Tucson and with Oracle being in the higher elevation, it was cooler. So scroll down for this brief, final ride and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE..



Bill took his Triumph on this ride and here he is as we roll North on Shannon Rd

We turned North again on some 4 lane Road that took us up to Oracle. I think it was the Oracle Hwy.. The ride was scenic..

We head back to Tucson. That mountain range ahead is one of two we went thru to get up to Oracle..

The view off to our right

We make a right end sweep around the mountains ahead and that will put us on a straight run to Tucson..

We get to Tucson and head to Jerry-Bob's Restaurant for lunch. I order the ol' Texas standby, Catfish & Fries. It was good but not as good as our fish we get here in Texas & Southern Oklahoma. But then again, I love Bill's Catfish Restaurant in Waurika Oklahoma.. This will conclude Day 17. I had a great time riding with Bill up to Oracle and I really enjoyed the cooler temps that the higher elevation had to offer..
