East : (

No more racing the sunset each day, it is time to return to the Central Standard Time Zone. I started by riding north through the White Mountains on Eastern Arizona #191, an appropriately designated scenic byway. Over a hundred miles of continuous "S" curves, steep grades, and "U" turns with steep mountain slopes inches from the edge of the highway. A beautifully frightening day of riding, but I was relieved once the highway straightened out. However, the two state parks I had considered staying at were closed for the season, so I spent another night in a motel, in Springerville, AZ.
