krp,

thanks for the pics from the Youngs road. I vicariously got to see something I never managed to try while living in AZ.

I'll agree, going down into and back out of the Salt River canyon is scenic enough, just a real pain. Especially my first trip in a '54 Chevy with vacuum wipers during a monsoon storm.

Hope all of y'all's favorite hunting places don't burn. If they do, good browse in a few years depending on the severity of the fire.

Hang tough folks.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
