Multi Shots from the trail.

You would think I'm strange I don't mind how dirty it gets but when I done I gets wash by hand top bottom everything . Bleach white for tires , car soap S C 1 when done . I'm not happy till it looks like it never happened. You could see it nasty one day and the next think it was never rode. I know it's anal and strange .

Well..today was pretty much a bust from a riding standpoint. Went to do a trail called Hackberry Creek. This Trail starts by a currently active mine, and as luck would have it, after driving for nearly two hours to get to it, this mine just happened to be doing road work today and the road itself was closed. Looking around trying to find a back way proved fruitless as it seems to be the only way into this area, save for one hardcore climb out of a canyon that was beyond the capability of a 500, known as chevy hill. So I'm getting ready to load up, but here are some pics...

Top of mountain above superior up 60. Turn at oak flats campground sign. Go 1.5 miles and hang a left at the fs road.

 

[DG Rider]

Ok...I lied...found a side road. Ran out after about 1 mile. Did give me some pics, though...

Damn PowerLines ruin this shot of Devils canyon...

And...I'm trying my best to end up in a Missing 411 book...

 

[Mudwing]

I can’t get away from power lines This is what you look for when riding renegade trails in NYS. It don’t matter how you ride, just ride it.

Well.. as I was leaving for real I saw the construction equipment that stopped my trail entry go by on the main Highway. So I went up and checked out the trail one more time and sure enough everyone was gone and the road is open so I took a quick turn down it to check out a couple of the shorter roads, but I'm tired and it's getting late here so I guess I'll have to save the real Trails for the next trip. But I did get some nice shots for you mean time...

what are the grass huts for?

what are the grass huts for?

They were in a campground, so I'd guess someone took the whole "primitive camping" too seriously.

 

[DG Rider]

If only I'd known what lay beneath my feet...

Resolution Copper Mine: Venturing 7,000 feet below Earth's surface

For the first time in a couple of months, high temp was under a hundred degrees, so what else would I be doing?

Haven't been up to Saguaro pass in a while. Storm clouds building in the distance.

The forest service recently placed new signs in this area. I got ask, on average, about three times per ride about how to get here or there, so maybe this will help. I also noticed this plaque on some old road work that wasn't there a few months ago...

 

[DG Rider]

And Cholla pass. Looks like I'll be getting wet at some point. Monsoon season in AZ.

I was going to say it looks like Safford or Marinci, Az. 100 yrs ago, I built SR 666.

Well...you must be pretty old then...

 

[Backwoods]

He's doing good , well over a 100 yrs old and still riding.

 

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

Ok,
An expression.
Worked on old Route 666 in the early 80's for the correct.
Didn't mean to piss on your thread.

Maybe try Depends?

Seriously...wasn't it changed from 666 some time back due to "strange events"?
