Sorry Snoking, I disagree and I live here and have for the last 45 years, full time not just Winters. Our grand daughter and family live in East Mesa, and we travel to Tucson and parts in the SE part of the state regularly, with the 5th wheel much of the time. Your route is not best for a someone who is just passing through. AND the snowbirds are here. I run into them in Costco as they are stocking up on their return. Your route is a LONG, back way that will get someone who is new lost on the back roads into Tucson and have them back streeting through Tucson to get to where ever they want to go.
