Salt River Canyon & the Self Road Adventure

[1leglance]

An interesting thing that happened to us as we traveled our Shelf Road Adventure was how the trail would shift from bone dry dirt to snow packed mud & slush...it all depends on the sun.



But finally we climbed out of the valley and jumped on SR 188 and headed off North to Young, Az in search of fuel for my thirsty rig. Alas this was not to be, there was an Exxon sign at a liquor store but no fuel to be found.


We did get to play in the snow a bit which is about all I need as I am not a cold loving guy.


And lest we get too relaxed on our drive there is always something new and interesting around the corner. In this case it was a big white bull with some serious attitude.


I never regret stopping and reading the roadside boards as the history you learn often gives a new and fresh perspective to an area you would otherwise just motor on through.


We headed back into the mountains looking for a campsite, Waymon had heard of a place called Workman Falls Campground..this sounded very cool as a hike to a water fall is always worth checked out. In the back of my mind I kept thinking, oh boy this could be a very chilly night around the fire.
