JeepAndrew's AZ Trail Runs/Campouts

I want to try that spot you Broke on aswell Andrew.

 

Hey buddy

What I break

 

He is referring to me good sir That trail broke my shit big time.

I may have to hit some ghost-town and old mine sites along the Salt River on my way up for this upcoming trip

 

Awww I see I see.

And are there quite a few? I have not searched any on the webs or know of any. Well shit I didnt know any in the state till you opened my eyes to the glorious underground mines of the fine state

 

whenever your ready man, i am ready!

i know this other awesome trail, its super cool and scenic, but i dont think many people would take their truck on it. the hard section is only like 100 feet but i almost flopped it twice. but your short wheel base will make it a little easier. i had to use my sliders big time, both sides, front to back, because of the longer wheel base haha.


i live right by the salt river, i havent heard of any of these.....

i live by the lower salt by saguaro lake, are you talling about the upper salt?

 

He is talking about the upper salt river canyon between globe and show low.

 

oh dang, i dont know much about that area, sounds fun

 

I only know the area from driving it to Tucson. And I hike cibicue falls (awesome but a pain in the ass to get out)

 

whats the hike like?
sounds similar to fossil creek. all down hill there, all up hill out. 5 miles each way. god going out sucks ass haha.

 

Yep same basic hike. You have to cross the salt river too. (No bridge or anything its wading shoulder depth ) its sweet to get down to tho. Its a big freaking pool with rock jumps off the entire circle of it. The long hike out straight up sucks cause you are usually drunk and dehydrated coming out. I did the highest jump last year called cactus ass its about 78'

 

dude that sounds awesome i want to check it out

 

Its fucking awesome. We usually do it every August. Last year a friend fractured is ankle and wouldn't hike out. So a couple people waited with him down there while i hiked out and drove 40 miles to show low to get service to call the paramedics to go get him. They had to carry him out on a stretcher and air avaked his pussy ass down to phx.And got everyone with him tickets for trespassing.

 

im going to check it out!! i love hiking so ill probably do it soon. ill let you know incase you want to tag along!

dam that sucks bad! is it private property? do alot of people go there? is there a trail?

 

You want to go in the summer when its warmer otherwise you are freezing all day and no one goes in the water. It is a trail but its on the reservation so you need a hiking license to go. I think everyone got ticketed cause all the guys were pissed they had to hike out carrying the jack off that wouldn't man up. Plus not all of them had hiking licenses on them so im sure that played into aswell.

 

There's a ton of old mines all along the southern wall of the Salt River Canyon, near the highway between Globe and Show Low. Most of them are chrysotile (asbestos) mines, so gotta bring dust masks and what-not. Some of them are pretty big inside.

 

Why would one mine asbestos? But really that would not stop me from going in.

 

That was back in the days when Asbestos was still widely used as insulation in buildings and houses, before it was discovered that it was carcinogenic But yeah it doesn't stop me either.. Because JeepAndrew

 

Its only dangerous in powder form when u can inhale it so as long as nobody farts too hard you're good.

 

Hey hey hey because andrews

Haha good to know. No darting in asbestos caves

 

And here I thought u liked inhaling dangerous powders.
