On March 30, 2007, a friend and I rode through the
desert on back roads, eventually stopping in the little town of Cave
Creek which is several miles north of Scottsdale, Arizona. As usual, the
scenery along the way was outstanding and it was a beautiful sunny day
just made for riding. The Arizona Bike Week rally was underway, so we
saw hundreds of riders on every road we took. The folks attending the
rally tended to fill up all of the restaurants, but we managed to find
rood at The Horny Toad. I am not sure where the name came from, but
there were no toads on the menu.
On the return trip, we stopped at another of
Arizona's beautiful lakes, Lake Saguaro. It's close proximity to
Scottsdale and Phoenix make it a popular destination for water-sports
minded folks. The stop here reminded me that I haven't been kayaking in
some time. I will take care of that when I return to Cottonwood Cove
next week.
Here are some photos of the area traversed on this
excursion. Enjoy.
