I suppose the camera man had to check his drawers for scat as well!

Why keep us in suspense, what were the reading of those two new Superstition rain gauges.

I drove through the smoke today at 11 AM coming down from the North Rim.
Saw no sign of personnel or equipment however.

Is SR 88 or Apache Trail still closed. IE - can I drive from the dam to Apache Junction upon my return to Arizona....

@chumley
Was this the photo you submitted to Arizona Highways?

I don't subscribe....
I relay on HAZ for this is the best source of enjoyment of the great outdoors......

That State Troopers family must get awfully tired of Deer steak for dinner. Just sayin...

Once the fire is out and the temperatures are back to normal I suspect most of you will be on the trails to see what has happened to the Supes. You can expect less shade and more open views of the mountains around you. If your interested in off trail travel there will be less catclaw and other plant...

If you really like danger go ahead an bike the full length of Apache Trail or Arizona highway 88 as it is know.
But before you go take out a short term life insurance policy and designate the proceeds to go the founder of HAZ Joe Bartels......
Just sayin....

Drove out SR88 to the bottom of Fish Creek Hill this afternoon. Experienced heavy rain after Tortilla Flat all the way to the bottom of Fish Creek Hill. Had the windshield wiper on high and drove with the lights on. Many rocks in the roadway but passed by them without difficulty. Parked at the botto...

The standard route is the one you created and HAZ is going to name the peak after you.

@Grasshopper
You would have better luck finding the Lost Dutchman Goldmine than this picture in the confines of the defined Wilderness area.
Sorry but in my humble opinion it was taken somewhere else......

No water crossings from the north but expect some muddy spots on the old road. It may be cold in the evening so be prepared.

@SuperstitionGuy muddy it will be. leave the gps at home. I should have addressed this to Puddlegulm (sp?) as they have apparently have not had the Superstition experience before not having been on these trails. Which means they would have had to use their GPS the majority of the time to stay on or...

On the other hand slogging thru the mud with your eyes on your gps doesn't sound like fun.... Just sayin..

That stuff on the front bumper is for Chevys and Fords when you find them stuck or broken down.
You have to move them out of the way and sometimes there is not enough room to go around.

Yes, but look out for the snowbirds. This time of the year they are every where out there....

The road up to Rogers Trough has been improved so much that we have stopped talking about it in the forum for road conditions. I would believe you could drive it now as there has not been any major rain storm in the area to damage the surface. Just plan on having a plan B in case there is a major st...

What's wrong with the higher camping in the Superstitions. If it's cold you want it's there.

I drove Highway 88 yesterday all the way to the dam. It was a very muddy drive and I had it mostly to myself. The Fish Creek Hill took quite a beating for sure and with todays rain the falls should be flowing again.
