Everyday is a Holliday: March 2010

This past weekend I headed out on yet another motorcycle trip. Thursday afternoon we headed out of town and spent the night at my great aunts house in Eager Arizona. Being march madness as soon as we arrived at the house we all sat in front of the TV and watched college basketball and drank Mountain Dew all night. The next morning we got up loaded the motorcycle and made our way to Tombstone Arizona. The first few hours of the day were extremely cold as we had to go up and over a snowy, windy mountain. That we made it to tombstone that evening and toured the old town and old buildings. It was pretty cool to see the old stuff and think of what life would have been like back then. We found ourselves getting up way early the next morning as we had a very long day ahead of us. We headed up to Tuscan to take in the Pima Air & space museum and lunch at Famous Dave's. Its pretty sad that we plan our whole trips around what city's have a Famous Dave's Restaurant. Anyway the air museum was way awesome and and thousands of awesome airplanes. With the coolest of them all the SR-71 Blackbird. That night we arrived in Yuma Arizona. Another night of sitting in our motel eating pizza and drinking MT Dew and watching more college basketball. (Dang BYU). The following morning we went and toured the old Yuma Territorial Prison. I sure wish we would treat prisoners now a days as they were treated back then lol. If your ever in the area I would recommend taking the time to tour this old prison. After the prison we headed for the Hover Damn making a stop in Lake Havasu. Havasu was a little crazy being college spring break. The reason for the stop in Havasu was to see the London Bridge. Yes the actual London Bridge. With plans to build a new bridge in London the auctioned off the old bridge. some dude bought it and it was taken down piece by piece and assembled in Lake Havasu. We spent longer In Havasu then planned so we had to ride really fast to make it up to Boulder City Nevada to see the hoover damn before it got dark. As we were dropping off the hill into the dam I was thinking it was going to be to dark to see anything then I remembered that I still had my sunglasses on haha. We rode over the dam and stopped on the other side. It was dark by now and we decided to keep on going and to try and make it to Kingman Arizona.. Spent the night in Kingman and got up early and headed back to Blanding. On the way home we stopped at the Grand Canyon. I gotta say I didn't think there was anything Gran about it it. It was pretty ugly and not very impressive. I would rather go look at Dark Canyon on Elk ridge. After the stop at the canyon we booked it home so we could be home before dark. thanks to John, Cole, and J.J for making the trip a great one. After five days with the guys it sure was good to get back and see my wife;)
