Posted: October 28, 2016 Under: Southwest By Scott Anderson no Comments

To escape one of the wettest winters in record in Portland, Rachael and I left town in November for a short tour from Tucson to Silver City.  Neither one of us has been to southern Arizona before and weren’t sure what to expect at this time of year.  It was a great ride, and a … Continue reading "Tucson to Silver City"
