Motorcycle Road Trip - Dec. 8

After a cold spell, it warmed up to 55 at the house and so we headed east on Hwy 60 to Superior, south on Hwy 177 through Copper Basin to Hwy 77 at Winkelman, then south and west past Mammoth and Oracle [north of Mt. Lemmon] to the Pinal Pioneer Parkway (Hwy 79) to Florence and then north to Hwy 60 and home.  It actually got up to 68 in the Copper Basin [Between Superior and Hayden], but didn't stay there.  We had put on extra layers with our chaps and coats, but used our seat heaters too.
