| partners | | Mark and I have been planning a 4x4 trip down Rug Road for awhile now. The last scheduled date didn't work out however today was a perfect day for our adventure. I met Mark at 5am and we headed out in his very capable Cherokee. Rug Road is certainly not passable for most vehicles. It was no problem for Mark and his machine.
Once we arrived at Parsons Grove he parked the Jeep and we went for a hike. We made a loop out of it and then added in Virgus Canyon and Negro Henry Canyon. Along the way we would check out several corrals and old cabins. Evidence of Fall colors still remains and enhanced the scenery today.
When we finished the hike we decided to take Rug Road all the way out the other end. This would have us leaving via Turkey Creek at the Eastern end of Arivipa. We stopped on the way out and took a quick trek up to the Turkey Creek Cliff Dwelling. From there it was over to Klondyke and then home thru Globe.
We stopped at Chalo's in Globe for a pre-Thanksgiving bite. I had a blast! Thanks for driving today Mark. |
