Day 1 of a 3 day farewell ride for JD - DirtyDog before his return to Oklahoma. The extreme section from Bumble Bee to Cleator was littered with slippery rocks and sticky mud. |

The trail to and through Box Canyon is an easy fast ride. Once you make the turn off to the Coke Ovens the trail becomes progressively more difficult. Extreme climbs and descents and monster boulders fill the trails. One exit option is to cross the Gila River, an easy trail, a deep fast river crossing if you dare to take it. The second alternative route is BattleAx trail which begins with more boulders but eases up after a few miles. |

Florence/Kelvin "Super" Highway is fast graded dirt. It's easy and very dusty. | |

Turkey Creek trail from Bumble Bee to Cleator is extremely difficult. Bloody Basin from Cordes Junction to Sheep Bridge is easy graded dirt road. Sheep Bridge to Horseshoe Dam has some difficult sections. |
 |
 |
Bulldog Canyon has a little of everything. Fast hard pack, deep sandy washes, and nasty rocky hills. Call the Tonto National Forest ranger station in Mesa to secure a free permit and combination lock access code to the recreation area before heading out. It's a small area where you can easily ride all the trails in less than half a day. | |

 |
Some sand, some mud, and some food on easy dirt roads outside of Florence, AZ. | |

My First Ride in Phoenix, my future home. Four Peaks is an easy graded road with a couple of steep climbs and great views. Apache Trail is easy graded road with a really cool canyon climb and great views. |
