Due to the fires near
Globe and the terrible traffic situation along our normal route, the
Saturday, June 12th tour has been changed from Globe to the
Little
America restaurant
&
hotel
in
Flagstaff.
If needed, phone 1 928 779 7900. The address if you want to enter it in
your GPS is: 2525 East Butler Ave. Flagstaff, AZ 86004. There is no
guarantee that GPS will direct you to the same roads we are using but
should be helpful once you are on the city streets of Flagstaff, helping
you to get on Hwy 40 & too the restaurant.
See the
link below and look around. We will have a limited menu (see
bottom of this message) to select from and billing by couples.
Here is a link to Little America in general
http://flagstaff.littleamerica.com/
We will
meet in Fountain Hills at the Target shopping center, please meet in
front of Target, the center is located at Shea Blvd and Saguaro Blvd in
Ftn Hills. There are restrooms and Starbucks Coffee available in the
store lobby. We
will meet no later than 9:00AM and depart at 9:15 AM. Turn right
on Shea Blvd out of the parking lot to Hwy 87, then head north on Hwy 87
to Payson (about 45 miles) where we will take a 15-minute comfort break
near the casino gas station on your right. We will continue north on
highway 87 up the Mogollon rim and to Clint’s Wells where we can stop
for another comfort brake if needed, we learned last time we did this
tour most of us needed the break because it
is a pretty long drive from Clints Wells to Little America. So, it is
likely we will make this stop again but listen for updates on the club
radio. We’ll pull over at clints wells to the large, paved, right-hand
road shoulder while we wait for everyone to take their comfort break.
Departing
Clints Wells, we’ll make a left turn in ¼ mile and pick up Hwy
89A toward Flagstaff.
Hwy 89A is also known as Lake Mary Road.
WHEN YOU DEPART CLINTS WELLS,
DO NOT DRIVE
STRAIGHT AHEAD AND TAKE HWY 87 TO WINSLOW.
We'll
head Toward Happy Jack, Mormon Lake, Lake Mary and Flagstaff on Hwy 87A.
As we arrive in Flagstaff from the southeast, we will be on Lake Mary
Road and after passing under the overpass
we'll be making a right-hand turn after the overpass that will
take us to Interstate 40, you will then be on the city surface streets
for a short distance. There is not much advance warning after the "40"
sign so go slowly as you search it out, a small sign on your right. You
will be turning to the right again, up the “on” ramp and then you will
be heading toward the Albuquerque directional signs which is Hwy 40, so
look for and follow them, it comes up quickly, You’ll be on a long right
hand 180-degree curved road directing you to Hwy 40 & Albuquerque. Then
in about 3 miles look for signs on the right that say, "little America"
(
exit # 198 is the correct off ramp, Butler
Ave.) and that is where you get off. Little America will be down
that road a short distance straight ahead, the complex & parking lot is
on your right. Go in the main entrance and the restaurant will be to
your right, down the large hallway. Stop at the desk and tell them you
are part of the BMW car group and you will be seated in our reserved
area. The manager’s name is Danny if you need it.
Please have a full fuel tank at the start and remember to bring your
club radio, your club name badge & this route guide. We can get
fuel at Little America before or after lunch for the return trip. There
are a few different routes to return to the Valley, the same way we went
up or take I 17 all the way home or you can take Oak Creek Canyon down
to Sedona and from Sedona there are two alternate routes, consult your
state map which we recommend you bring with you on every club tour.
we can discuss this toward the end of the luncheon and everyone is free
to pair up with whomever they wish and select whatever route you prefer.
In any case, this is usually a full day of driving (which is a good
thing because that’s what the club is all about) We look forward to
seeing everyone.
