Ride to Greer, AZ, June 11-13, 2008

With temperatures in the Phoenix metro area topping out at 100 plus degrees, it was a perfect time to ride Big Red to Greer, in Arizona's beautiful White Mountains. We stayed at the Red Setter Inn, a lovely, rustic, bed & breakfast associated with the Greer Lodge Resort. We were rewarded with great weather, temperatures in the 70's, and excellent riding on uncrowded highways.
