Hey AZ Wheeler's! Another year has passed- time to go again!
This is an open invite to all makes/models-
Here's an opportunity to see some of the really remote back country between Senator Hwy and the main Crown King road. It's a roller coaster ride- near Battle Flat, one of the major battles between Miners and Apache's in the 1864 Indian Wars. It features one short section of boulder infested creek bed- not huge stuff, 12" to 24" loose creek bed stuff, steep, loose hill climbs, and some pucker power off-camber stuff. The trail is over 12 miles long, and takes well over 3 hours at the best possible pace. The trail is listed as difficult in the Charles A. Well's book of AZ Trails, but is not EVEN as difficult as Martinez Canyon. The majority of the trail is a two track thru pines, pinyon/juniper and scrub oak/manzanita brush country.

There was a 30 acre fire near Palace Station on the Senator Hwy today...
Due to the extremely dry conditions, I'm going to ask participants to observe Stage 1 fire restrictions. Please smoke only in your vehicles, and extinguish all smokes in your ashtray. Please park only on the road or in sandy sections of the creek or trail to prevent grass fires from hot catalytic converters.
Your cooperation is appreciated!
Thanks
