I'm posting this from a trip we took October 11, 2007.

We started out from Aurora, CO.
To make it a more enjoyable trip, we used the first day of our vacation to get to Grants, NM (instead of driving straight threw to Superior) and stayed at a KOA campground in order to make sure Buzz and Roz's camper was in fine working condition. When we rolled into town we saw this military plane/helicopter doing touch and goes at the local airport.

On our second day we went about 15 miles east of Superior on Hwy 60 to find Mineral Mountain Rd. just before Florence Junction. The AZ Backroads book showed that we should be able to find good camping that would put us convenient to the trails we wanted to do. Our campsite ended up being in the middle of a National Guard practice range. Luckily for us they weren't doing any bombing while we were there. We were also lucky enough to get camp set up prior to sunset, which was gorgeous.

Let the wheeling begin! We used Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails to select the trails to do and to navigate them.
