Driving to the Stateline campground on Tuesday 8/4, a section of the dirt road was washed out an not passable even with my Dodge Ram Truck. However to the east and further down the wash was a section that we were able to cross despite muddy water and soft sand. The campground is well kept and for the most part clean and a great place to start heading south on the AZT. My son and I left the campground at around 6:30am on 8/5/15. I would say this section of trail is very well marked and although expected temperatures were about 95 we lucked out and had a nice cloudy day and a coolish breeze. We carried more food than we needed and probably more gear than needed. We also carried a lot of water as we figured there wouldn't be any on trail. Each of us had about 4 liters of water. By the end of this passage we found that someone had left about a dozen gallon jugs of water. After about an hour rest and lunch we started down passage #42.
