High Desert ATV Memories New policy for High Desert ATV Rides LLC. I sold the Can Am that I used for rentals. Below is a description of my goals for High Desert. That's not acceptable.

High Desert ATV Rides LLC does not offer rental ATV's. If you own your machine (or have a rental) and don't know where to ride I can show you around. I only ask that you pay the fuel cost for my truck and my ATV. You are not paying me as a tour guide. We are just people out on a trail ride. We are not limited to one area and the pace and schedule is yours. I'm just there to point out the good trai

ls and sights you probably wouldn't find on your own. This service is excellent for someone on vacation who wants to maximize their trail time and not be wondering where to go. I can take you on a one day ride or as many days as you have time for. There are areas for all skill levels. I want to ride with people that have respect for the trails. Who will stay on existing trails, wont litter and wont disturb the wildlife we see (including snakes). I've been along on rides where someone wanted to find a snake to kill it. Only take pictures and leave nothing but tracks. The areas I can show you range from southeast of Florence to Globe area up to northeast of Roosevelt Lake.

Went riding with Al Kramer yesterday and found another crested saguaro. I have passed it dozens of times, just didn't see it.

Yesterday morning was 36 degrees and the first frost of the season. This morning it was 34 degrees. The daytime temps are in the low 60's and clear skies. I can live with that.

I had a very nice campsite in Donnelly Wash last week but they were expecting heavy rains. I decided not to tempt fate and moved my camp about 3 miles to Cochran Road. When it did rain on Thursday, it was a slow steady soaker for about 24 hours. There was 1 3/4" in my rain gauge.
I had gone to the river before the rain to see how much water it was running. I went after the rain and was very surprised that it was no higher than before the rain.
It is 38 degrees this morning and supposed to get to 62 and clear skies.
Enjoy your Christmas.

It is supposed to rain heavy for the next couple of days. I call this my pre-rain ride. I wanted to see how much water the Gila is flowing. After the rain I will come back to see how much it got in the storm.

Karen's Climb
Karen's Climb

When I came up this upper spot I got to spinning tires and had to back up and try a different approach. Karen just breezes through it.

We were descending a trail at Oak Flat that I wasn't able to complete the last time I was here. Karen still wanted to challenge it, so we gave it a try.

Leaving Turkey Creek
Leaving Turkey Creek

We rode Rug Road from Copper Creek (near Mammoth) to Turkey Creek at Ariviapa Creek near Klondyke. It was 30 miles of rough riding and the last 2 hours were after dark. The scenery was stunning the whole trip.

We had just watched about 20 or so in this area earlier but they were moving and I didn't get any photos. This guy was waiting for us when we came back by.

Al Kramer's Downhill
Al Kramer's Downhill

Today near Chiva Falls we had some very interesting descents and climbs. It was a rough trail with a lot of pondering how to tackle a climb or a downhill. By the way... I am saying PUCKER, not the other word.

East of Hewitt Canyon near Montana Mountain is this gem of a canyon. I love riding it and so do Linda and Brian. It is brushy and very rocky so it is not traveled much. This is just one of many obstacles here.

Linda, Bian and I went to ride Montana Mountain today. There is a rocky, obscure canyon just east of Hewitt Canyon that is challenging and spectaculer. It isn't used much and that just makes it better.

Yesterday we rode through Box Canyon and headed over to the gate at Martinez Canyon and part way up the trail toward the Coke Ovens (which are "No Trespassing"). Turned back and went into Cottonwood Canyon, over the hill and through Telegraph Canyon to Picket Post Mountain. On the way home we took the Elvis Trail instead of Box Canyon. Got to the truck after dark. It was a great day.

Ross Monahan and Brian Janerico rode down this interesting little stretch with me to check out a trail that dead ended at the Gila River. A very enjoyable trail.

I was riding with Kurt and Patricia Grover and Ross Monahan today and came across 9 desert bighorns. What an unbelievable sight. We watched them for awhile and they came off the cliff and grazed in front of us. When we left they were still there...ignoring us.
