Get Your Motor Running...

This morning we pick up the motorcycle and head out on the Beeline highway into the Tonto National Park Desert then we swing north and head for Sedona and Jerome.  I booked a room at the historic Conner Hotel in Jerome.  It already 80 degrees and sunny here. I will fill this in late tonight.\\\\

I'm writing from room #9 of the Connor Hotel. Dont ever rent this room. It has no windows!!!!

Here is the hotel -

Although the Connor Advertises "A room with a View"  in fact that is most ironic. Our room has no window.. Not no view - no window!  But the bar is very cool old time southwest feel  the  bartender looks like Danni from American pickers and  mixes some mean drinks. and the Hotel overall is pretty cool.In fact the whole  town of Jerome Az is relly cool. Its an old mining town perched precariously on the side of a mountain overlooking an old mine. No walmarts or  malls - this town is vibrant and gritty and amazingly scenic -

....  here we are in Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona

A cursory glance through one of our SD cards reveals mom created many videos of our trip - I have to go through and see what is usable.
