The day started off at 73 degrees and it was a beautiful morning. We got on SR60 towards Springerville and all fell into formation and got into a good rythm. We had great views of yellow mustard fields and cholla castus aka jumping castus. We got gas in Datil at an eclectic store and of course Maggy had to buy some earings made by a local Native American women. It's elk hunting season and everywhere you stop there are men dressed in camo. The 3rd 3flags checkpoint was sponsored by the South Coast BMW Club and was in Springerville, AZ. Today we met up with alot of other riders.One of the pictures you see is Maggy talking to Betty M., she is a 84 yr old GoldWing rider who is an avid 3 Flags & 4 Corners participant. Tonight we at at a lodge south of Alpine and at the top of Devil's Highway that we will take on in the morning. It's suppose to be 60 miles and 433 turns, hmm, we'll see. This lodge was perfect for tonight, we got in early, and had couple hours to relax on the big front porch, across the highway is a huge meadow, we're in the big trees now. Had a family style dinner and spent 2 hours talking to 2 other 3 flaggers from BC, that we met in Regina & just so happened to book a cabin here. Really nice guys, bought a BMW from David not too long ago, small world. Looks like lots of rain and thunder storms in the desert tomorrow. Oh well what's a girl to do but ride.
