Another Day in the Saddle

A sunny but cool days ride to San Manuel AZ. It is a sleepy little town, which was built in, the late 50s as a mining town but the mine closed a while back and it shows. The streets and housing was done by Del Web who is/was a major player in the retirement community development industry. San Manuel looks like it needs some revitalization. There is a diner on Main St, which bares no sign; serves basic burgers, fries, tacos and ice cream. According to the menu posted on the wall it is called Mel's Drive In. We (seven of us) made the 200 mile round trip with ease.
