March 13, 2021 - Oracle

Sadly, this trip has been cancelled. Cold weather will not allow us to dine outside and due to covid, the restaurant cannot accommodate us indoors. We will try to reschedule for Apri.

 

OUR UPCOMING TOUR WILL BE ON SATURDAY, MARCH 13TH

 Our destination will be the Orehouse Hilltop Tavern in Oracle, AZ. They have expanded the size of the patio and we will be eating outside. Oracle is 4500 ft. so the weather should be OK.

 We値l meet on Goldfield Rd exit 198 off Hwy 60. At the bottom of the ramp, you will see the Chevron station on the east side of Goldfield Rd about 100 yds south, our meeting place.  We値l assemble there at 9:30 AM and depart at 9:45 AM. We値l take highway 60 to Globe where we will stop at the Chevron gas station and convenience store in Globe at the far east end of town for 15 or 20 minutes for a comfort break and fuel if you need it. This first leg from Goldfield Road to Globe is approximately 70 miles. We値l be passing through the towns of Superior, Miami and a few others before we get to Globe.

After the comfort break, we値l head east out of Globe on Highway 60 and in about 1 mile turn right on Highway 77 south, there's a sign there and I believe a traffic light as well. It will be approximately 70 miles to the next turn which is American Way in Oracle.  Turn left on American Way and follow it west to the tavern (roam through and see pictures) The actual address is 1200 N Jefferson Dr, Oracle, AZ 85623 You might want to add this to your GPS.

Following our stay in Oracle we will backtrack our route on highway 77 approximately 40 miles to the town of Winkleman, corner of hwy 177. There is a gas station at that intersection if you need it or a comfort break, the rest of us will wait for you.  We will pick up highway 177 north through the towns of Hayden, Kearny, Riverside, Kelvin and finally into Superior. Comfort or fuel stops will be decided along the way and called out on the radio. From Superior, we will head west on highway 60 for a return to Phoenix. Finding a restroom in Superior can be challenging so be prepared to plan ahead.

The scenery on highway 77 & 177 is picture post card stuff and fun roads to drive in our Z痴. This is truly a beautiful drive and I知 sure you will enjoy it.

Please have a full fuel tank and name tag at the start of the tour and remember to bring along your communications radio and a copy of this tour guide. It痴 always a good idea to have an Arizona state map handy.

Thank you and I look forward to some prompt RSVP痴 so I can get this all sorted out.
