Christine and I, traveling this time under the guise of the old world snake family Viperidae, had a nice time on the Coronado Trail cruise. Kind of wish we'd kept a tighter formation on the Clifton to Hannagan Meadow run so we could all play together on the twisties, but we had fun with Chris and a couple of motorcycles.

Sounds like we missed some good times in Springerville. Hannagan Meadow was delightful. Felt badly that Mike & Loraine weren't able to join us. Quaint lodging, good food, got to meet & dine with several very interesting people, and the moonlight hike was indescribable. We didn't leave the lodge until 10:30 am. Had intermittent rain and one big downpour all the way to Pinetop, but it cleared as we headed south on AZ-73 and US-60 through Apache land and the Salt River Canyon. We made it home by 5:30 pm; 560 miles at 18.3 mpg (Amazing mileage for a mountain run. I obviously didn't push the snake very hard this trip.)

We're already looking forward to the next Coronado Trail run.
