500 miles, from Tucson to Roswell, NM

Post by Howardr »

A friend and I recently rode our RV-250's from Tucson to Roswell and back. We left Tuesday and returned Thursday. The return trip was along a different route and was closer to 600 miles.

I am posting pics and route descriptions on our club blog. Only part I is up now. Part II will be about the ride back.

Great pics! I love that part of the country. I once got stranded in Salome Arizona when I was about 16 or so. My catalytic converter was clogged so the car started overheating....long story short, I had a great time!

Nice report and thanks for posting.

After reading about your motivation for this trip, I rewatched "Long Way Round". This certainly looks like a easier ride than Mongolia. :D
