Travel Plan

One of our many mottos is "Plans are made to be changed."  So it has been with planning for this SEAZ Road Trip.  Here's the text of a Facebook post we put up regarding the matter.  The four graphics have captions.

"Ah, the Flow & Eddy of travel plans...

...Whereas we once had a trip laid out to get to Chiricahua National Monument next weekend, we now have had to construct an alternate routing to arrive there after March 6th.

Why? Well, the NPS is essentially rebuilding the only road inside Chiricahua NM. It was supposed to be done in mid-February. Then they moved the date to February 24. Yesterday, the date was moved to March 6th and is still labeled "tentative."

It's utterly amazing to us that the NPS would essentially have the main attractions shut down this time of year....but that's the way it is.

So the plan now is Tonto Basin-Globe-Tucson-Nogales-Sonoita-Douglas-Portal-Bowie-Chiricahua-Cochise Stronghold-Safford-Globe and then home via one of two alternatives. If we get the "horse to the barn" syndrome, then it's straight home from Cochise."

 The new plan involves heading through The Tonto Basin to Globe and then down to Tucson via State Route 77.

Above is the Heart of The SEAZ Trip.  The blue line is simply a general indicator of where we might be.  There  are so many permutations and combinations of side trips.

This is a tentative route back to Globe.

Once we get back to Globe, there are two options for heading home.  A third option is to simply jump the interstate system and and get the horses straight back to the barn,
