Seeing more of Arizona..... From the Spyder

Today was more of a Lazy route as we didn't have much in the way of a time constraint....  Cracker Barrel serves almost any kind of a meal any time of day...

We met up at the Denny's on Chandler Boulevard which the club calls number 3....  Must be secret code...  LOL..   That is the 7400 W Chandler Blvd dot on the map...  That was 25 miles away from the house out here on Signal Butte...  I left at 9 but didn't need to be at Denny's until 10..

They just assemble out in the back part of the parking lot and don't go inside, unless it is a last minute pit stop....  Some folks were late and we had to wait, as they called on the phone to one of the leaders..    No problem...  its not hot and we got all day...

We rode straight South on I 10 to Casa Grande..  That's where the Cracker Barrel Old County Store is located at the main intersection...  They weren't busy, and we were seated immediately..  We had about 16 folks.   Only 4 of us didn't have significant others along...  Goldwings are usually ridden with passengers...

After about an hour and a half, we were sufficiently stuffed, and moved on for the rest of the ride..  This was on I 8 like you are headed to Yuma...  We went about 25 miles and then turned North on Az 84 for Maricopa..  

I did a salute at Papago Road as I passed by the corner where you turn to go to JB and Brenda's Dog Pound South... They had no idea I was out riding around, and I didn't want to just stop on by.....  Anyway, I had already been out for the day, and I hope to visit when I can take them to a nice place...   Its MY TURN  dog gone it JB...  So anyway we went on by...

After buzzing downtown Maricopa, we came back to the Wild Horse Casino, but again they didn't stop...  This group is intent on getting their ride in...  I'm more used to stopping for a coke  every ten miles...

Anyway my independent side took over as they were about to get back on I 10 again, so I waved good by and went straight on Queen Creek Rd...  No more following in line and worrying about not being in formation like the leaders want...   I'm too independent, I guess.....
