Chameleon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 On April 24th and 25th I am cruising up north to run the Devil's Highway. If you are not familiar with this road, it is the old US 666 (now Highway 191) also known as the "Coronado Trail." It runs between Alpine and Clifton, and is about 90 miles of some of the most technical driving available in this state. This is NOT a high-speed drive, but if you enjoy twisty two-lanes, off-camber corners and spectacular scenery, this is a great road. I am leaving mid-morning on the 24th and driving to Springerville/Eagar for the night. The 25th I'll run the highway, and be back home that night. This is about a 600 mile trip, split 250/350 between the two days. The route is a loop, Phoenix/Payson/Heber/Show Low/Springerville/Alpine/Clifton/Safford/Phoenix. I'm staying at the Best Western in Eagar on the 24th. http://bestwesternarizona.com/hotels/best-western-sunrise-inn Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to come along; post up here if you're interested! PHOENIX MEET POINT/TIME: Chevron station, southeast corner of Beeline (Hwy 87) and Ft. McDowell Road. 10180 North Fort McDowell Road, Fort McDowell, AZ 85264 If you don’t have a smart phone or Nav: This is the second traffic light north of the intersection of Beeline and Shea Blvd (approximately 2 miles). Turn right off Beeline, and an immediate right into the Chevron. Drive through the fuel islands, and bear left into the parking lot on the side of the building. Food, drinks, fuel, restrooms available.9:30 meet for a prompt 10:00 a.m. departure. PRESCOTT FOLKS MEETUP POINT/TIME: Meet in Payson.

check6x Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I would love to do this, but It is the same time as the Big Bend Open Road Race. I will be doing lots of turns and elevation chages with a little more speed. This event is 118 miles and my low fuel chime sounds just before the finish.

Chameleon Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 C6 is back on the road, already been to two road course track events and the "no fly" event at Gila Bend. The claim is not settled yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I will get with you on a meet up point for Prescott folks as the time approaches. I was gonna do it the same way as last time, since that seemed to work well for everyone (except for Jon getting lost because he was so much faster than the rest of us) LOL!

You don't say. But how do you get lost on a road that has no exits for 100 miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
