| no partners | | Driving back up to Flagstaff after spending the weekend with family. Decided to explore the Aqua Fria National Monument and find some geocaches. Found a route in that my 2wd pickup could navigate, though it was rocky, it was passable. Decided to air down my tires to make the ride smoother. Explored a side trail finding geocache along the way. Found some weird pipe covers that seemed to connect a nearby tank to what looked to be an old pump station in the canyon. However, the nearby tanks, were empty so I'm not sure where that water is going to, if there's even a pumphouse down in the canyon. There's also the strange sight of a power pole just ending, no more wires, though I think the wires moved underground as I saw electrical boxes every mile or so.
I ended up driving along the El Paso Gas Pipeline Easement road, which is very bumpy. Found some rock walls near the eighty-eight mine. Also found some Indian Grindstones in a large boulder. I did not visit the nearby mine, but I plan to visit it another day. It was getting late and I wanted to get back up to Flagstaff. When I got back to Sunset Point exit, I found out my air compressor bit the dust, so I had to manually air up my tires with a bike pump, which wasn't fun. Guess I got to get a new one, to Harbor Freight I go. |
