I would have to put in my two cents and recommend the route down from Showlow as then you see some beautiful areas and can stop and get (GCZHMD) Hidden Falls by Honeymoon Cachers as a break in the drive.

Check it out from the pictures, it is more then worth the stop and an awesome area to show you what kind of views and hidden surprises you can find all around Arizona.

Just me and my foolish concept though, so ignore it when you want. :)

It so nice to see people use the word Christmas.  Having moved from the East Coast to Missouri (and now to Arizona) I'm glad to see the trend reversing where Christmas was demoted to "Winter Holiday" or "Seasons Greetings".  This age of PC  has, IMHO, ruined so many things.  There is nothing wrong to being sensitive to others and their traditions but why did we have to lose ours?  I see nothing wrong with a Merry Christmas or a Happy Chanukah when appropriate and that list can be expanded as well to respect others holidays.
 
Sorry for the off topic response. 
 
I also see that the weather forecast is for HOT, may not be doing mucn caching when I get to Florence and Apache Junction.
