A relaxing Day Driving a Packard in Southeastern Arizona

Posted by Kevin AZ On 2013/3/13 21:50:30

I awoke this morning, made the coffee, brought in the paper and enjoyed quality time with my bride. Being semi-retired, and only working part-time I have more time on my hands now. But one of my favorite diversions is just to take the Packard out and see where I end up. Today I departed my home at 0940 and returned at 1715 hours. I enjoyed 247 miles of near flawless driving (the 400 chugged a bit climbing so I flipped on the e-fuel pump) Arizona Highways 80, 82 and 83. These highways bring the traveler through Sonoita (where the movie Oklahoma was filmed), Whetstone, Tombstone, Bisbee and an occupied 'ghost-town' named Lowell a few miles from Bisbee.

For those contemplating an adventure to southeastern Arizona, don't delay as the old west awaits you. From gun-fights in the street in front of the OK-Corral, quality dining in the hillside community of Bisbee (home of the famous Lavender Pit)and to fantastic photo opportunities in Lowell, the traveler will most certainly not soon forget the experiences.

Here are some pictures of my adventure today.
