Multi Shots from the trail.

The railroad bridge over Camp Grant wash.

Now down at the tracks checking out the old pit mine. This was...I believe, the San Manuel railroad. I don't think it's been inactive all that long...

Nearby, re-purposed tanker...

Concrete pads next to the tracks (and my finger)...

Stopped to top off the whiskey...

Another shot of Camp Grant wash and Dudleyville, this time on the other side of the San Pedro. That batten section trending upper right. I. That is Aravaipa creek, and the tall peak with barren rock sides in the upper left in where it enters Aravaipa canyon. A pretty spectacular place, if you'd like to google it...

One more for reference...

If you zoom in you can see the twin stacks at Hayden/winkelman. These are the same stacks I've often photographed from the old miner shack looking due east. I'm now pretty much due south of those, so that's a frame of reference as to where I am in relation to my favorite riding spot.

Old tank up the canyon...

Something checked in, but didn't check out...

Notice the old railroad tie plate. Ranchers and miners are incredibly resourceful...

Camp Grant wash has spectacular scenery...

Some asshole painting his name on everything...

Next photography project: water tanks and corrals of AZ...

I had forgotten about the Romeo Fire. This burned last summer near Tecolote ranch, but didn't come all the way over to it. There is a little side trail that runs over near the Old Car I've posted a video of. About half a mile later I ran into the fire line, albeit in near darkness.

A wasteland.

The one plus of this thing is that a lot of stuff obscured by vegetation is now exposed. The small concrete post in this area is now readily visible, so I'd like to head back over to Grand Prize mine and see what was hidden in previous trips.

Oh...and silly me forgot to mention that the Camp Grant massacre, which (allegedly) occured near the area just across the river from the railroad bridge I posted earlier...

Arizona's Camp Grant Massacre - DesertUSA

In the pre-dawn hours of April 30, 187 at Camp Grant, Arizona, eight men and 110 women and children were brutally murdered in the brief span of 30 minutes. In addition, 28 Arivaipa Apache papoose were kidnapped from the grisly scene for sale in the child slave trade.

What a read. Hard to believe people are capable of such acts and the easterners seemed entitled? Kind of reminds one of the current situation between both of our current political parties.

You're dealing with a lot of elevation change and more rugged terrain than I am. When I rode in Colorado, 75 miles was a long day. Central Wisconsin is flat to rolling hills. Often to get from one trail system to another involves riding on paved surfaces. Mileage quickly adds up at 55 mph.....

Well, except I'm in the desert right now but there's no pavement and 55 mph just doesn't happen. I think the Rockies just got snowed in for the season with the last storm that went thru there several days ago.

More of this - 😍

Went to Sugar lake/mountain in the Monashee mountain range today. Cherryville BC. I wanted to go in July but fires had it closed. 2-3 more weeks and it will be too deep.

Leaves are almost all down, but weather was great for a Rusk County ride.

Awesome pictures. It’s amazing how fast the forest comes back to life after a fire. I’m not quite ready for snow yet!

Welcome to the site, from the once great state of Colorado.

This was a Big Ole NOPE for me, too washed out to take a chance, in at least two places, one right past that small rock and another ~30' past that. Both narrowed the trail a LOT and it was too off camber to take the risk. This trail didn't show on the topo and I really like adding tracks that aren't topo'd but either of those washouts could ruin my day -
