On the Labour (I'm Canadian) Day weekend, I'll have been on the road for 3 weeks with my Wing and tent trailer. My wife will fly to Phoenix and we'll spend the weekend with friends. Next stop is near Los Angeles the next weekend. So, we've got Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to fill (will drive to LA on Friday). Looking for suggestions ...
On my own, I'd head for out of the way primitive campsites - but that's what my 3 weeks is for. My better half has much higher expectations (but we have a limited budget). She wants to stay in the "big heat" areas, as I suspect she was a lizard or something in a previous life. So ... an interesting area with either an up-scale campsite or reasonable motel (pool is pretty much a requirement). The idea would be to settle in one spot and maybe do a bit of sightseeing riding in the area, but mostly a few days of R&R - i.e., I know there's some good riding roads to the east, but she won't want to spend every day on the bike, and it makes for a longer ride to LA.
Sedona comes to mind, but we've been through there twice and anyway it might be outside our budget. Looking west from Phoenix, I don't see much besides desert. Our fall-back might be to get to Palm Springs and then tour Joshua Tree, but I'm hoping we can do better.
All suggestions welcomed ....
