ARIZONA BMW
Z SERIES Club
club tour on Saturday August 15th, 2026, for lunch
at The Diner On Main Street in Bagdad
Meet at Albertson’s
9:30 and depart at 9:45
DIRECTIONS:TO BEGIN, meet
at the Albertson’s center on Carefree Highway ¼
-mile east of interstate 17 on the north side of Carefree Hwy. Coffee,
donuts, and a restroom are available inside McDonalds & Albertsons
market.
Please arrive with a full fuel tank, club name tag, and bring your club
radio along with a copy of this route guide.
Upon departing McDonald’s on Carefree Hwy, we
will head west on Carefree Highway, hwy 74, to Hwy 60, (about 20 miles)
and turn north to Wickenburg about 35 miles where we will stop at the
large Shell station and snack store for a 20-minute comfort break.
Leave the Shell station and turn right to pick
up Hwy 60/93 from the traffic circle and drive North which is a right
hand turn out of the traffic circle. Several miles out of town Hwy 89
branches off to the right, take
hwy 89 to Yarnell (do
NOT remain on hwy 93 ).
About 13 miles further on 89, you will come to
Kirkland Junction; there is a sign there directing you. Turn left; that
road is 4 miles long and will take you to the junction of Iron Springs
Rd. and hwy 96 that will be right in front of you. We take hwy 96 to hwy
97, sound familiar? Those are the twisty roads we take when we go to
Prescott “the back way” but we are driving in the opposite direction
this time. As we near Bagdad, there may be a sign directing us to
Bagdad but if we simply follow hwy 97 it will take us there. The
name of the restaurant is “The Diner On Main Street.”
For you GPS users, the address for the diner is 103 Main Street Bagdad
AZ, 86321.The phone number for the Diner is 928 633 6770.
We have an
option for the return drive, take hwy 97 west to hwy 93 then south to
Wickenburg and back to the Valley.
Or you can take hwy 97 east and drive back the way we came up and enjoy
those wonderful twisty roads twice in one day.
The outbound
drive
to the Diner is about 145 miles as best
as I can calculate it and the return drive
distance will vary depending upon which route you take.
Please send me your RSVP so I will have a head count for the restaurant.
Cheers, and thank all of you for your support of the club. I plan to keep
it going as long as we have interested members to enjoy the activities
and socializing with the other members.
I hope we get a good turnout.
Paul
