Sonoran VROC and Mexico

By -
We met friends and visited Mexico while in the Yuma area.  Really nice to kick back and enjoy a couple rides.  I am amazed with the agriculture in the area.   
 
 
First day included an international trip about 10 miles away :)
 
Susan, Joe, Lanny, Shannon, Ryan, Sherm

Sherm nawing fingernails?


Lanny doesn't drink much, so the baby Margarita was just his size, but not his taste... So I drank it.

Still in the honeymoon phase, only been 6 or so blissful months of marriage :)


Awesome reflection of the umbrella in Susan's new shades...while waiting to get my $7 Mexican haircut!


This jewelry store gives tequila, Corona's and some fru-fru shots as you walk in the door.  They admitted that alcohol help sales, and keeps the guys happy while the wives shop.

Shannon ehjoyed the drinking much better than the prices.  No Sale from us.

Oh how they enjoy making fun of our trademarks in Mexico...  lol


These guy want to dance with you for money, and they are pretty pushy.  Not my kind of entertainment.

Shannon's tortilla soup.  She says the best ever anywhere!
 
Susan's bike was in the shop, she wasn't willing to pass up a ride when she saw one.

Neat sinks!

Car show groupies




I think it is an exhaust problem!



Now we know why Joe and Susan really go to Yuma...to keep an eye on their casino!  lol


We were shocked that these are Date Palms...never knew.


 



Grass skirts and slippers, can't figure out why Shannon wouldn't let me get them.

I think this was a Sherm story about cactus fruit.







A reverse Rearview Mirror shot...using Sherm's mirror to get a shot of him!






 


The boys like the dips in the road

Our leaders Sherm and Pat


Really nice lake!  I could dig this place in the desert.

Sherm found a dog for a photo op, but Sherm always finds photo ops... lol




Rural, or Metro...  Or both!

We enjoy seeing a little bit of home - tiki


Looks like a very fun boat owner



Lanny saying bye


Lanny leaving


No kidding!  There were veggies growing everywhere! 



See



We ran out of broccoli at home, I was going nuts seeing all that on the side of the road... I guessing a couple years worth...  Grrrr




More Date Palms

 

 
Date Shakers!  Joe and Susan top, and Sherm and Pat below
 


 
Sherm leaving Pat behind!
 



While it is not a NP, this one ranks real high on the list after the movie 3:10 to Yuma
 
And it was worth it!


Shannon's pretty tree, that we looked
up the name of, but I don't remember


Your own little slice of water tower paradise.










The only light that comes into the dark cell is through this little vent.

And that's your space when you act up!



I really enjoy really old existing buildings.


Lanny was amazed with the ducks

 


 
Neat cactus
 


Shannon seems more interested in scenery than cars... lol

Car show guys in the rooms next to ours. Sedan Delivery and Willy

Just a nice pic
 

Had to get a pic of Joe and Susan's sign on their trailer...we share the same motto!

Beautiful New Mexico sunrise The area that has no Cow Crossing signs...has cow's crossing! Window Rock, NM His truck was loaded down.  Unsure if he lives in it or sells out of it??   We made it back here...and it was actually opened!! Stage Coach We were able to walk around the whole ranch   The trading post is still open for business and operational. Lots of old shotguns. Interesting that Hubbel Trading Post has Dr Pepper but the Dr Pepper soda shop in OK does not!  We had an orange cream soda They sell the "famous Arbuckles" coffee...but do not offer some that they brew daily and charge $1.     In the barn Beautiful New Mexico landscape We saw this for miles...the two lines went parallel for quite a while...we determine it had to be airforce or someone doing some sort of practice. We rode 66 for a while today.  We are in search of moisture wicking sh...

Iceland Day 9 (Hraunfossar, Blue Lagoon, Reykjanesbaer Peninsula)

  This was Ryan's lucky day!  He stopped in to the 66 station for a cup of coffee...and scored a free coffee!  He's drank a lot less coffee than normal on this trip - a combination of the highway robbery for a cup of Joe and his being sick.  Typically these 8-10oz cups ran from $3.50-5. -Shannon Was I happy for that coffee! -Ryan We stopped for breakfast at a bakery in Grindavik and shared a chocolate covered cinnamon roll. Maybe they forget the year with how time moves? -Ryan The first hint of an accident we saw on the entire island.  -Ryan The lagoon is a very odd whitish-blue and almost iridescent with a strong sulfur smell.  This is a very expensive place and by far a tourist trap attached to a high-end hotel  I was happy to see it and move on with out leaving any money.  We did learn about a hot river that is free, and if we ever go back, we'll hike in there and do it freestyle! -Ryan The first ...

Day 7 - Flaming Gorge to Tetons

We left Nephi and thought Garmen was headed the same way I thought in my mind...well, we were wrong.  However, this little detour on Provo Canyon Road turned into quite a treat.  Lots of waterfalls, hills, mountains and twisties! Didn't stop here since it was only time for beakfast. Liked the name.   I just love all of the rolling colors. Throughout the area near the Flaming Gorge, there are these cool info signs with geological info and descriptions of their meanings or perhaps something that happened in this area in the Prehistoric Era.   One of the greatest byways in Utah!!  Rode it in the car last fall..had to loop back on the back...Glad we did - it was awesome!!!  (despite the rain and clouds) It was quite overcast and at times rainy while in the Gorge.  Sunlight definitely creates the difference in this magical area!   Our initial shot ...
