| You are now on Old West Highway, which will carry a number of different names through Apache Junction, Mesa, and Tempe. You will stay on this same road (Old US 60) until you reach Tempe. The road will bend to the right (In front of ASUs Grady Gamage Auditorium) and become Mill Avenue. Mill Avenue will go through downtown Tempe and cross the Tempe Town Lake. At your first light over the bridge, you will turn left on Washington and take that all the way to the Arizona State Capitol. (Ken White will give you directions from there.)
Good Luck... and have a GREAT run in Arizona
