Re: Big Arizona Strip Adventure
When you where in the one room school house ... did you look behind the chalk boards for the stash of money? ... like it was in the movie Thunderbolt & Lightfoot (Clint Eastwood & Jeff Bridges) he he he he .... untold riches waiting to be found...
Anyways thanks for the pics, the photo album and SPOT tracking. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. I take the '71 out to Utah and do that too so I can relate. Nothing like seeing the desert in all her glory (ie the summer heat). Hot as heck but there is just something about seeing it in summer. For navigating using try the Topographic Metric 1:1,000,000 scale maps for the area you are going into. They show all the roads you really want. Then you just measure on the map (after awhile you can eyeball the map and gauge the distance) between crossroads and trails and use your odometer as to when to turn or when the crossroad is coming up and where it all connects. That map shown in the pic looks like a land usage or something. Glad you had a safe trip. That sheet metal gets don't it !
