We celebrated Valentine's Day with an ATV ride to the rocky area of Cochise's Stronghold northeast of Tombstone AZ. How romantic!It was a beautiful day with tons of sunshine and warm temps. Our group was larger than we have had, with a total of 9 units. Lots of fantastic rock formations were out there, as well as several camping groups and hikers. Lots of fresh air! Ellen drove a good part of the return trip.
Our friend Jim Pearce brought a Polaris Razr as a demo from Cochise Motorsports in Sierra Vista, and several of us got a chance to try it out. The Razr is a sporty side by side ATV. We also test drove a Polaris "two-up" owned by new friends Rick and Christina. (Thanks Rick and Christina!) A two up is a machine made for two people, as most ATVs are manufactured only for one person. Arizona is starting to enforce this as many riders ride double on a one person machine. The fine is $250 if you're caught. We are seriously looking at buying a two up some time before we return to Arizona next January.
We ended the day with a dinner at the Longhorn Restaurant in Tombstone. Here's a photo of our group:
Looks like you are hooked on the ATV! And having toooo much fun. Keep up the Blog great to read
ReplyDeleteDo you have a pic of a "two up"? Are you riding on public or private lands? It sounds like a wonderful outdoor activity?
