      I had to tweak the dates on this in order to secure camping site.   And, we leave on Saturday, come back Tuesday (unless some can’t stay till then).   This should be fun—–we have three nights at a group site just south of Prescott.   Hotelers/motelers are thus in the area.

      Please see Calendar for more details.    I will have routes, etc. as we get closer,

              Hey John – Which Eagle Ridge Campground between the 2 were you thinking about?

                I’ve booked 3 nights at the Rodeway Inn Prescott for $97/night through hotels.com.
                There are somewhat cheaper options a little farther away from the campground as well. The Rodeway Inn is about 4 miles away.

                      For what it’s worth, After being told “NO day passes” by a couple of gyms in Prescott, I contacted the Prescott YMCA and spoke with a delightful gal at the front desk named Teri who told me that they welcome non-members (and especially BMW riders). A $15 fee and a signed waver will get you full access to the facility for a day. That not only includes hot showers, but pool privileges and a host of other amenities.

                      The physical address is:
                      750 Whipple Street
                      Prescott, AZ 86301

                      The website address is:
                      https://prescottymca.org

                      Looks like I can leave the Wet-Nap moisturized towelettes at home. 😉

                        Here is the route to Arizona on 9 April. 376 miles, 6 1/2 hours riding to Prescott/Campground. Figure we leave the meetup spot by 8 a.m., and get to Prescott by about 4:40 p.m., factoring in rest stops and a fast lunch in Parker.
                        I’ll have a couple of proposed day rides in the next several days. Any suggestions are welcome.

                          Got a couple of day rides—-about 250 miles each, looks like great riding, some sights, etc.

                            My suggestion for lunch or dinner in Prescott. This place was essentially my living room back in the summer of ‘73:

                                  My apologies——-other than the gpx, I didn’t note down the meet up spot anywhere else. Black Bear Diner, on Mountain Ave, just off the 60, in Chino. Again, would like to leave as close to 8 a.m. as possible.

                                      Oof! I’ve been following the weather forecast for Prescott since last Monday. Back then they were calling for a 2% chance of rain showers on Monday from 10am-2PM. That percentage has steadily increased and now they’re saying 50% chance of rain and snow starting Monday night and lasting into Tuesday. I’ll add that “they’re” is the NOAA/National Weather Service.

                                      I’m still going, and I’ll still be camping on Saturday and Sunday nights, but I’ll be packing up and moving to the Best Western Prescottonian for Monday night because I damn sure don’t want to break camp in the rain or snow.
