Richard,
I suggest you stay on I 40 all he way to Flagstaff than take I 17 south 
to I 60 and then west to AJ.  There are a couple of other short cuts 
like State 101 that might help, depending on where you want to go in AJ. 
260 is like the long side of the triangle but much more curvery and 
turney plus slower than the interstates.

  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Best Route


  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.

  What Y'all think?
