Supposed to eat at the haunted hamburger. In Jerome. Car is averaging 12-13 mpg. And with the new 15+ gallon RPM tank I have over 180 mile range. This is leaving the car in eco mode all the time. Plenty of power in this mode. Hit 77 on the open ride but a little sketchy
 
That is a good route. I do overnight rides from Prescott to Williams all the time…..have also done Williams to the Grand Canyon and back. Enjoy and keep us updated
 
Our tomorrow’s trip was supposed to be through the Navaho land. He talked to the manager, then a tribal leader. Then the main guy. Finally they said ok We asked many times snd they had a huge list of demands. The organizer gave them everything like year make and model and lic of each car. Two weeks ago they finally sent a bill to let us cross through their land. Almost $6k yeah no that’s not happening. One of the charges was $1500 each for two guides to follow us the whole way. So unfortunately tomorrow we will have to go 100 miles “ on road”. Looking forward to today’s ride. With all the rain I think we are going to have a lot of mud puddles to cross. Pics coming

$6k, that is crazy. I want to do Yuma to Quartzite to Prescott in my Raptor, is the trial wide enough?
 
Best day so far. Prescott to Jerome for lunch in just under 3 hours with drone and pee breaks. Beautiful. Stopping for lunch at the haunted hamburger.

My son lives below Jerome in Cottonwood. Don't get thrown in jail there or you might meet him on the other side of the jail bars. 😄
 
Haunted Hamburger is good. Hit the fudge/ice cream shop too. Maybe the Spirit room for the fellas that might want an adult beverage...
 
I wonder if the place I went Gold Panning as a kid is still around (outskirts of Prescott)? That was a great experience.
