Yesterday turned out to be a scorcher. Temps quickly reached the upper 90s, it's too soon for this nonsense, where did winter go? Anyway, we took a bit of a ride despite the temps and thanks to air-conditioning in the Jeep. Heading for Greenback Valley, we hoped the higher elevations would bring a bit of respite from the heat. There are several roads in the Greenback Valley area that we haven't explored, one of them leading to a beautiful canyon and a place called Mud Spring. The road was deeply rutted, but passable, so we headed up. The views were lovely but the road narrowed down to a rocky climb. Since the temperatures were climbing and we were traveling alone, we decided to err on the side of caution and save the climb for a cooler day. We've always got to consider emergencies such as vehicle problems and the possibility of having to hike out of these remote areas. It was a nice ride and it looks like it'll be an interesting area to explore further.
About Us
- Ralph and Laura
- Since retiring and moving to the boondocks of Arizona, my husband Ralph and I try to spend as much time as possible Jeeping the backroads in our area. We especially enjoy visiting abandoned mining camps, ghost towns and exploring the old ranch sites that we come across on the back roads.
