When I leave Mesa in the spring, I usually go to Globe on US 60, then to Lordsburg, NM, on to Deming, NM on to Hatch,NM. (Pick some Hatch Chilis) I then go on I 25 to exit 175 south of Belen and take Hiway 60 again to Vaughn, NM, cut North to Santa Rosa whe I pick up I 40. I bypass Tucson and Albq. The only climb is between Superior, AZ and Globe. Watch the weather.
