It started raining yesterday afternoon so we waited to fill up until this morning.

Sherm and I both lost our cameras yesterday due to old age issues....:). In spite of that it didn't cast too big a shadow on the start of our trip. We rode a couple of hours from my house and stopped for breakfast in Superior, AZ at a place that utemike recommended. Excellent food! With a smile on our faces we hit the road.

In the Superior, Miami, Globe area there are a lot of old as well as current mining operations.

Between the communities are some very nice formations both natural and man made.

I have no idea how many yards of ore the big bed will hold but I would guess that the little truck placed inside it is at least a 10yd dump.

Taylor Freeze.......Patience and I would always stop here for an ice cream cone. Don't worry sweety.......I bought two and helped you eat yours.

We were driving through the little town of Duncan and a few things caught our eye. First thing I wanted to do was go to this bakery and get a "Duncan Dognut"

Then Sherm decided he needed to eat some "Humble Pie"

This jet was set up as a memorial. Can you identify it?

Like riding the Mother Road, riding the "Old West Highway" gives you quite a few glimps of the real old west.
