<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We've made the drive to/from Gallup many times and
live in the East Valley. Due to the longer distance and how far to the
east side AJ is, you'll be much better off (~45min-1hr) taking either the
Holbrook/87 route or Show Low route rather than Flagstaff. The highways
are relatively fast, and I-17 plus navigating eastward across the
valley gets slower every year. Our preferred route is Heber/Payson,
but I'm betting the Show Low route is the shortest if you're going to AJ,
although as someone mentioned you will have to navigate a curvy road near
the end of your trip. I'm assuming it's telling you to go Holbrook, down
the 77 to Show Low, then on the 60 into AJ.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you choose the Holbrook route, you need to watch
extra carefully for elk for the 30 miles west of Heber towards Payson (elk
is everywhere, but it seems particularly thick there), and I would suggest you
turn on the Bush Highway from the 87 to cut over to AJ instead of
taking the 87 all the way into town. Not sure if the map took you that
way, or if it recommended all the way to Gilbert or Country Club on the
87.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Not a Geocaching question but readers of this list might be able to
help me. This will be my first direct drive from St Louis to
Apache Junction. I'm fine with the drive until just after Gallup,
NM where AAA says take Rt 60 at Show Low to Globe and then on the
AJ. Mapquest and such say take I-40 to Holbrook then 377 to 260
and then Rt 87 to eventually Rt 60 and then AJ. I have to keep in
mind that we will be starting this drive that day from Amarillo, TX so
by the time we get to AZ it will be late and we'll be tired. </DIV>

<DIV>What Y'all think?</DIV></SPAN></DIV>
