Casa Grande, kind of a mid point between Tucson and Phoenix appears to have little going for it but within the city is DeBillons Cactus Garden & Restaurant and gosh, is it good! The owner is a former drug dealer from Phoenix, forced out by the gangs many years ago…or so he claims.
The area round Elgin is AZ’s wine country and it’s a nice bunch of low key tasting rooms but what’s this….what’s this???? Wow! what a revelation for the area.
I’m curious how the other vineyards and wineries will respond to this very upscale, unusually so for Elgin. Los Milics Vineyard is the name of the place and I highly recommend.
The lower end places are still in abundance and also fun to visit.
An enjoyable drive home with a magnificent sunset.
The next day, riding through my favorite neighborhood, I stopped for a gopher snake. The markings made some mistake it for a rattlesnake but this is harmless.
