gearhead 437 Posted April 9 (edited) @SonoranWanderer @Michael Trapschuh @Gonzo-Ralph and myself made the trek from Carefee to Dugas via the Verde Rim. We were rewarded with magnificent views of stunning scenery accentuated by color from the wildflower bloom. The run went off without a hitch. The only hiccup was that access to the Verde River was blocked for whatever reason. I guess the government is afraid we would have drowned ourselves in the swollen river. Thanks again to everyone who made it out today! Here are some of my attempts at photos (I hate taking pictures by the way) lol!

Michael Trapschuh 8 Posted April 10 Thanks to our tour guides for a beautiful and challenging run (long and rocky). I am not sure how "Tule Mesa" received that name, but "Boulder Mesa" or "Rock Garden Mesa" would be more appropriate. How rocky? Well, I Just ordered new control arm bushings and shocks! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
