About this event
On Saturday, February 8th let’s enjoy a scenic driving loop down to the City of Maricopa and through the less explored West Valley, where we will enjoy lunch at Rudy’s “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q in Goodyear.
Our 4-hour, 150-mile drive will begin at the Porsche Chandler dealership. From there we will travel west along AZ-202 and then south on AZ-347 to the City of Maricopa. From there we will take AZ-238 west to Gila Bend for our first break.
After break we will then travel north along Old US Hwy 80 over the Historic Gillespie Dam Bridge which was built in the 1920’s and was once the longest steel bridge in Arizona. Next we will pass by farm land and massive solar power generating stations. Then from there we will pass by the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station where we will stop for a group photo shoot.
To finish our day we will head back east on I-10 and proceed to Rudy’s “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q for lunch. You will order off the menu and pay your own bill at the restaurant.
After lunch everyone will be on their own to drive back home.
