SUMMARY:Sept 17 – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Bumble Bee Historical Mines Tour Ride
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Sept 17\, 2022 – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Bumble Bee Historical Mines Tour Ride \n  \nThe member ride sign-ups have been low this past month due to the heat and weekend monsoon activity so I am opening this Bumble Bee Historical Mines Tour Ride to the general public and PAUC Facebook Followers (ATVs\, UTVs\, and SxSs only).  I have not posted this ride since last year\, so trail conditions are unknown.  This is one of those fun rides that you want to bring your spouse\, significant other\, or that friend you been wanting to introduce to off-roading.  I am limiting this ride to 15 vehicles unless another flight ride leader steps forward to lead a second flight.  Put yourself on the waiting list if the ride fills up.   \nFYI – only PAUC club member names will show up on the attendees list.   The ride leader will see everyone’s names including their passengers for the Name Tags. \n  \nRegister for the ride on our Event Calendar on our internet website (https://phoenixatvutvclub.org/event/sept-17-open-to-the-public-bumble-bee-historical-mines-tour-ride/) and not on our Facebook Group. \n  \nThis is one of my favorite Four Points of the Compass rides near Phoenix.  It is also one of the club’s most downloaded GPS Tracks from our Archive Library at 5\,680 views.  I usually do this ride or a variation of the ride a couple of times a year and a lot of veteran club members have already gone on this ride. \nIF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA SEAT IN YOUR SXS OR UTV FOR THE RIDE\, EMAIL ME OR FACEBOOK MESSAGE ME TO LET ME KNOW.   Member guests and friends would like to go on this fun scenic ride. \n  \nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nOn Saturday\, Sept 17\, 2022\, at 9:00 AM\, I will lead a Phoenix ATV/UTV Club Ride for PAUC Members and PAUC Facebook Followers on a ride in the Bumble Bee OHV Area.  Depending on the group size and scenic stops\, we should be back at the staging area by 5:00pm-5:30pm.   Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.   Bring a lunch\, snacks\, and beverages for eating on the trail. \n  \nRIDE HIGHLIGHTS \n\nLots of scenic off-road travel on a number of mining trails through Turkey Creek\, Government Springs Wash and the Bumble Bee Wash OHV areas.\n\n\nSome Easy-to-Moderate level difficulty side trails for meet-and-greet Kodak moments visiting the old abandoned Bumble Bee Ranch line-cabin and traveling to a distant hidden canyon to see the 75′ Antelope Creek Waterfall pool area with Petroglyphs (aka Bumble Creek Waterfall). The waterfall area may only be a wet smear with the low water tables due to the drought but it usually has a few spring-fed waterpools.\n\n\nWe will visit the Hidden Treasure Gold Mine\, American Flag Mine (aka Old Brooks Mine)\, and the Turkey Creek reclamation route and viewpoint overlooking the old Golden Turkey Mine (aka Silver Pheasant Mine) and its large stone cabin and explosives shed.\n\n\nAfter some fun twisty desert riding in the sandy Bumble Bee Wash and Government Springs Wash\, we arrive at the Cleator Yacht Club saloon in the town of Cleator for a 30-min lunch. Pack a lunch\, munchies\, water\, and beverages for yourself. Bathroom facilities area available in the bar area. This is a fun Meet-and-Greet lunch spot so walk around or grab a table on the front porch\, at the historic bar\, or out back in the marina area.\nDepending on time constraints\, there could be a possible side trip after lunch on the Moderate-level switchback mining trail up to the old DeSoto copper mine.\nFast return on the two-lane Crown King road with a possible final stop at the St John’s Mine on a viewpoint hill.\nPlan on 50 miles in length with all the meet-and-greet stops and side-trip ride segments. Extra fuel is usually not required but each rider should know their machine’s fuel consumption. There are no gas stations in Cleator.\n\n  \n   \nPOST-RIDE DESERT DESSERT BAR \nDepending on the sign-up response\, there may be a post-ride Desert Dessert Bar (sodas\, water\, cookies\, cake slices) so stay for a little while to socialize and decompress after the ride. \n  \nTRAIL RATING \nThis ride is rated an overall Easy-to-Moderate Ride [Level 1–2\, Green–Blue] but could occasionally have some difficult sections resulting from a recent washout.  Definition: May have some spots that are off-cambered; some hilly/rocky spots or few steep slopes; recommended for riders with more than 12 months of riding experience).  UTVs / SxSs / ROVs okay on this trail.  2WD vehicles s/b okay.  Low range gear recommended for a very few rocky areas.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers. \nREFERENCE SCALE FOR DIFFERENT TRAIL BOOK RATINGS \nEasy / Moderate / Difficult / Extreme = Green / Blue / Red / Black = Levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 4. \n  \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nDrive up I-17 up to the Bumble Bee/Crown King exit 248.  Turn west and head down the asphalt road to the bottom of the hill approximately 2.75 miles from the exit. The asphalt road ends at the bottom of the hill. The staging area is about a ¾ mile further down the Bumble Bee/Crown King DIRT ROAD on the west side of the road. You can view it on the Google Maps Satellite view at coordinates N34.1614° W112.1663°.   We will depart the staging area at 9:00AM so try to get there before 8:00AM to unload your vehicle.  The SAFETY MEETING will be at 8:45AM.  The ride will depart at 9:00AM and return approximately 5:00PM. \nStaging area on Google Maps:\nEnter the GPS coordinates N34.1614° W112.1663° or (Google coordinates 34.161400\, -112.166300 ) into Google Maps and zoom out to see the way from the I-17 Exit 248 to the staging area. \nThere is also an overflow staging area about 1/4 mile past the Bumble Bee staging area if the lot is full. There are a few parking spots along the asphalt road as you come down from the I-17 exit 248 too. \n  \nSOCIAL DISTANCING BETWEEN MEMBERS AND VEHICLES:  \nPease observe public health directives of 6’-8’ between people and gatherings of <10 people.  If necessary\, we will go out on multiple flights to adhere to the public health guidelines.  No handshaking or high-fives or hugging.  Try to exercise caution and stay apart and off to the side of individuals instead of being downwind of them when talking.  All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing. If you don’t feel well or have not practiced self-quarantine for the past two weeks\, DO NOT come on this ride and put others at risk!  All participants MUST wear a mask or dust mask\, kerchief\, bandana\, scarf\, or other means of protective personal equipment for their personal safety as well as for the safety of other participants. \n  \nTAILGUNNER AND SECOND FLIGHT LEADER NEEDED\nI am looking for an experienced member with a radio to volunteer as my tailgunner.  Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area.   Other riders with radios can volunteer as mid-pack wingmen to maintain radio contact.  If an experienced PAUC Member/Ride Leader wants to be a second flight leader\, I will open the ride to more riders. \n  \nCOMMUNICATION\nLeader\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunner will be on GMRS/FRS Channel 5 (sub-channel 0) in case you want to bring your walkie-talkies or CB / HAM radios.  The corresponding UHF channel frequency is 462.6625 MHz depending on your radio.  I highly recommend bringing a walkie-talkie to listen to approaching traffic and trail conditions. \n  \nVEHICLE & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS\nAll ATVs\, UTVs\, & SxSs should be street-legal and have the Arizona Off Highway Vehicle Decal sticker. Dress appropriately and keep hydrated. Bring a lunch\, snacks\, and beverages. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each driver should know their vehicle’s gas consumption and plan accordingly. \nHelmet that is properly fitted\, fastened\, and has a USDOT safety rating for those 18 years of age and younger who ride on an OHV. Riders in an OHV such as a ROV / UTV / SxS or similar vehicle\, while recommended for safety\, do not require a helmet unless a rider is under 18 years of age. The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club promotes the use of helmets on all its rides. Eye protection is required for operators of vehicles not equipped with a windshield. You should use common sense for eye protection\, bandanas\, scarves\, and dust masks for large group riding due to the dust conditions anyway. \n  \nSAFE\, ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE OPERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE \nAll Phoenix ATV/UTV Club members\, visitors\, and guests are expected to have appropriate vehicle registration\, license\, and personal insurance and to operate their vehicles in a responsible manner.  The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club is a responsible member of the OHV riding community.  As such the Club promotes safe and responsible operation of OHVs during club rides.  Arizona Revised Statute 28-1381 prohibits the operation of motorized vehicles\, including OHVs\, while under the influence of any substance that may impair the operator’s judgment or ability.  Therefore\, the Club prohibits the consumption or use of any substance during a club ride that has the potential to impair the operator’s judgment or ability. \n“Come join us for a fun ride and explore some local historical stops and trails and make new friends!” \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live!  Happy Trails… \nBob Maitzen\nPhoenix ATV/UTV Club \n(480) 363-7723\nBob.Maitzen@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Sept 15 – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC “Sunset and Space Station Night Ride" - Carefree to Humboldt Mtn  
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Sept 15\, 2022 – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC “Sunset and Space Station Night Ride” – Carefree to Humboldt Mtn   \nThe member ride sign-ups have been low this past month due to the heat and weekend monsoon activity so I am opening this NIGHT RIDE to the general public and our PAUC Facebook Followers (ATVs\, UTVs\, and SxSs only).  I will only take a total of 15 vehicles as the staging area parking lots can only hold 15 vehicles and recovery trailers. \nFYI – only the names of PAUC members will show up on the attendees list.  The ride leader will see everyone’s names including the passengers to make Name Tags.\n  \nRegister for the ride on our Event Calendar on our internet website (https://phoenixatvutvclub.org/event/sept-15-pauc-sunset-and-space-station-night-ride-for-beginners-ride-carefree-to-humboldt-mtn/)  and not on our Facebook Group. \nLooking for a fun family outing of pizza\, mountain sunsets\, starry nights\, and a chance to see the International Space Station from the top of a mountain?  Then we have a local North Scottsdale/Carefree area NIGHT RIDE for you!   A majority of OHV riders have never been on a night ride so let’s introduce you to a beginner’s version of a night ride.  We did this ride twice last year and it was a lot of fun!  Timing of this night ride only occurs a few times of the year with the International Space Station Flyover at a specific inclination just after sunset. \nThe ride was highlighted in the June 2021 issue of our Happy Trails and Dusty Roads newsletter (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dQ75L0r7iARJTaxQBHHfFZ4duivkQMq8/view?usp=sharing). \n  \nStaging area parking spaces will limit this to 15 vehicles.  Join us for a short easy non-technical Thursday night ride in the nearby North Scottsdale/Carefree area on level terrain with some easy dirt road hill climbs during that Thursday’s overhead flyover of the International Space Station. After watching the sunset from the top of Humboldt Mtn FAA Radar Installation at 5150’\, the dark night sky should make for great viewing of the space station.  The ride’s close proximity to Phoenix will also allow people to get home at a reasonable hour. This is a great ride for a FIRST-TIME NIGHT RIDER.  We are going to ride up to Humboldt Mtn in daylight to view the surrounding terrain before the sunset.  Views of Horseshoe Lake\, Bartlett Lake\, Four Peaks\, and the surrounding Cave Creek Mining District generate one of those “Wow!” Kodak moments.  It is extremely enjoyable and scenic! \n\nI usually get a few inquiries from members and friends that like to go on my rides.  If you have an EXTRA OPEN SEAT in your SxS or UTV or want to volunteer as a tailgunner or a flight leader\, let me know.  Send me an email (bob.maitzen@gmail.com).   Open seat offers get to move to the front of the pack. 🙂\n  \nGroup photos from the May 2021 night ride \n    \n   \n  \nBring a flashlight and/or headlamps for walking around and reloading your vehicle after the ride.  Stock headlights on your vehicle should suffice. There is no need to have an LED lightbar on your vehicle for this easy night ride but it is always nice to team up with someone on the return to the staging area. This is not a fast ride nor a long ride at 24 miles roundtrip. \n  \nRIDE HIGHLIGHTS \n\nA short 0.5 mile NE ride from the Blue Wash Trailhead parking area will be a meet-and-greet PIZZA PARTY under one of the gazebos in the Tonto NFS Sears-Kay Hohokam Indian Ruins (Hohokam village 1050-1200AD).  The park entrance is at Mile Marker 2.9 on the Seven Springs/Cave Creek Road.  If you would like to walk up to the Indian Ruins on the hill\, please arrive early and allow yourself at least 45-minutes BEFORE the Pizza Party do the 1/2 mile loop hillside trail walk. There will be a Sign-In roster sheet at one of the gazebo tables.\n\n\nThe ride will officially start and depart from the Sears-Kay Indian Ruins parking lot (N33° 53.150′ W111° 48.968′) at 5:30PM.  The PIZZA PARTY will start at 4:30PM.  It is a 2-minute ride from the nearby Blue Wash Trailhead parking area (recovery vehicles) to the Indian Ruins parking lot.  You CANNOT stage or park your recovery vehicles in the Indian Ruins parking lot.\n\n\nDestination highlight of the ride is to the top of Humboldt Mtn to see the FAA radar installation at 5150′ at sunset via the Seven Springs/Cave Creek Road [FR24] north of Scottsdale/Carefree AZ.  It is a two-lane passenger car smooth dirt road for 8 miles with an easy 4-mile ascent to the top of Humboldt via the SR562 asphalt maintenance road which takes about 45-60 minutes to get there from the staging area. There are two vaulted toilet stops along this ride.  One is at the Sears-Kay Hohokam Indian Ruins staging area parking lot and the other is at the Bronco Trailhead parking area on the way to/from the Humboldt Mtn FAA Radar Installation.\n\n\nOn Thursday\, Sept 15\, 2022\, the Sunset is at 6:34PM so we will try to get up to Humboldt Mtn by 6:15PM to view the surrounding terrain and mountain shadows before the sunset.  Bring a camp chair or stool to relax and watch the sunset anf ISS Flyover.  Views of Horseshoe Lake\, Bartlett Lake\, Four Peaks\, and the surrounding Cave Creek Mining District generate one of those “Wow!” Kodak moments.\n\n\nThe International Space Station will pass directly overhead at 7:16PM for 7 minutes rising from 10° above SW to 87° and setting 10° above NE.  Flying overhead at 254 miles at 4.76 miles/sec = 17\,227 MPH\, it will look like the planet Venus in brightness and size.  We will head home after the fly over.\n\n\nThe route is 24 miles roundtrip and should take about 3 hours which includes the hour-long sunset photo stop and International Space Station sighting at the top of Humboldt Mtn.  We should be back at the Blue Wash Trailhead parking area around 8:30PM.\n\n  \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nHere are the directions to the staging area.  After unloading your vehicle at the Blue Wash Trailhead parking area\, drive 0.5 miles NE on the paved Cave Creek Road to the Sears-Kay Hohokam Indian Ruins park entrance at Mile Marker 2.9.  There is park signage at the entrance.   Inside the park\, there will be the Meet-and-Greet PIZZA PARTY and sign-in table under one of the gazebos.  You can also park along both sides of the road but give enough space for someone to retrailer their quad. \nThe ride will depart at 5:30PM from the nearby Sears-Kay Hohokam Indian Ruins (0.5 miles NE of parking area) after the 5:15PM safety meeting.  Get there EARLY to unload\, sign-in\, and meet-and-greet other riders and have a slice of Costco pizza.  YOU CANNOT UNLOAD YOUR QUAD IN THE INDIAN RUINS PARKING LOT. \n  \nDirections from East Valley / Scottsdale by I-101 & Pima Rd \nTake Pima Rd exit 36 on the I-101 and head north on Pima Rd 11.8 miles to Cave Creek Rd.  Turn right (east) at the stop sign and go 6.6 miles to the staging area.  You will pass the Bartlett Lake Rd turnoff at 4.2 miles.  Continue straight on Cave Creek Rd towards the Seven Springs area.  The parking area is at Mile Marker 2.3 on the right side of the road at N33° 52.622′ W111° 49.019′ (33.877033\, -111.816983) at the Blue Wash Trailhead parking lot. \n  \nDirections from West Valley or North Phoenix Area. \nTake Carefree Hwy east to Scottsdale Rd (7200E).  Scottsdale Rd becomes Tom Darlington Dr north of Carefree Hwy.  Turn north on Tom Darlington Dr and go 0.9 miles north to Stagecoach Pass Rd.  Turn right (east) on Stagecoach Rd and go 2.0 miles (third stopsign) to Pima Rd.  Turn left (north) on Pima Rd and go 0.3 miles to Cave Creek Rd.  Turn right (east) at the stopsign and go 6.6 miles to the staging area.  You will pass the Bartlett Lake Rd turnoff at 4.2 miles.  Continue straight on Cave Creek Rd towards the Seven Springs area.  The parking area is at Mile Marker 2.3 on the right side of the road at N33° 52.622′ W111° 49.019′ (33.877033\, -111.816983) at the Blue Wash Trailhead parking lot. \n  \nOverflow Parking Area \nAn overflow parking/staging area is 0.2 miles further around curve at the bottom of hill on the west side of the Blue Wash [N33° 52.695′ W111° 48.935′  (33.878250\, -111.815583)] at Mile Marker 2.5. \n  \nTRAIL RATING \nThis 3-hr night ride has an Easy-level trail rating [Level 1; Green] on a 2-lane graded dirt road with some asphalt road.  ATVs / UTVs / SxSs / ROVs / sport quads are okay on this trail.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers. \nREFERENCE SCALE FOR DIFFERENT TRAIL BOOK RATINGS \nEasy / Moderate / Difficult / Extreme = Green / Blue / Red / Black = Levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 4. \n  \nSOCIAL DISTANCING BETWEEN MEMBERS AND VEHICLES \nPlease observe public health directives of 6’-8’ between people and gatherings of <10 people.  If necessary\, we will go out on multiple flights to adhere to the public health guidelines.  No handshaking or high-fives or hugging.  Try to exercise caution and stay apart and off to the side of individuals instead of being downwind of them when talking.  All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing.

SUMMARY:June 25 – Desert Vista OHV Area – Camp Creek Wash Exploratory Ride (North Scottsdale AZ)
DESCRIPTION:June 25\, 2022 – Desert Vista OHV Area – Camp Creek Wash Exploratory Ride (North Scottsdale AZ) \nI have not done a Camp Creek Wash to Needlerock ride in about three years.  I want to do an exploratory ride in this North Scottsdale Desert Vista OHV Area during the day to plan out a future night ride.  I have done this short ride only a couple of times and want to explore some offshoot side canyons and return on the plateau trails above the creek valley.  Depending on the side trails\, the ride will only be about 40 miles long. \nThe destination highlight at the end of Camp Creek Wash Canyon is the Needle Rock Campground on the Verde River Recreation Site below Bartlett Lake Dam.  This will be one of those short fun sandy wash & canyon rides where you want to bring the wife\, family members\, significant other\, or that friend that you been trying to coax into ATV riding to come along. \n \nNeedle Rock Campground Area on the Verde River Recreation Site \n  \nIf you have an extra seat in your SxS or UTV for the ride\, email me to let me know at bob.maitzen@gmail.com.     \n I usually get a few inquiries from members and friends that like to go on my rides.  Members can also asked about an Open Seat offer in the Comments section.  RIDE INCENTIVE:  Preferential placement to front of the pack to those offering an extra open seat in your SxS or UTV for the ride. \n  \nTRAIL RATING \nThis will be an EASY–MODERATE level trail rating (Level 1–2\, GREEN–BLUE) mostly in sandy washes since trail conditions are unknown.  Definition: May have some rough spots that are off-cambered; some hilly/rocky spots and a few steep slopes; recommended for riders with at least 1 year riding experience with ability to ride at medium-to-high speeds on sandy uneven terrain).  Parts of the trail follows canyon washes\, which can change after heavy rains and flooding.  UTVs / SxSs / ROVs / 2WD Sports Quad\, and passengers on Two-Up ATVs are okay on this trail.  Low range gear and 4WD recommended for a few rocky areas.   Kids on 2WD Sports Quads should be okay. \nREFERENCE SCALE FOR DIFFERENT TRAIL BOOK RATINGS \nEasy / Moderate / Difficult / Extreme = Green / Blue / Red / Black = Levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 4. \n  \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe departure staging area is at the intersection of the Camp Creek Wash on Bartlett Dam Road.  You will see a roadside Camp Creek Wash sign about a city block before the wide staging area on both the north/south sides of the road.  Park on either side of the road… just be careful that you don’t get stuck in the sand and try to leave room for other vehicles to park and unload. \nThe ride will depart at 9:00AM after the 8:45AM safety meeting.  Get there EARLY to unload\, sign-in\, and meet-and-greet the other riders.  I would like to explore some of the side canyons of the Camp Creek Wash for future club rides.  There may be some narrow side canyons where the SxSs might have to turn around.  It is about 11 miles to the Needle Rock campground on the Verde River.  I plan to return using the upper plateau trails to explore some other access trails. \nDirections from East Valley / Scottsdale by I-101 & Pima Rd \nTake Pima Rd exit 36 on the I-101 and head north on Pima Rd 11.8 miles to Cave Creek Rd.  Turn right (east) at the stop sign and go 6.6 miles to the staging area.  You will hit the Bartlett Lake Rd turnoff at 4.2 miles.  Turn right onto Bartlett Lake Rd and proceed 2.8 miles to the Camp Creek Wash staging area at 33°50’56.1″N 111°47’11.4″W (Google map coordinates 33.848917\, -111.786500) \nDirections from West Valley or North Phoenix Area. \nTake Carefree Hwy east to Scottsdale Rd (7200E).  Scottsdale Rd becomes Tom Darlington Dr north of Carefree Hwy.  Turn north on Tom Darlington Dr and go 0.9 miles north to Stagecoach Pass Rd.  Turn right (east) on Stagecoach Rd and go 2.0 miles (third stopsign) to Pima Rd.  Turn left (north) on Pima Rd and go 0.3 miles to Cave Creek Rd.  Turn right (east) at the stopsign and go 6.6 miles to the staging area.  You will hit the Bartlett Lake Rd turnoff at 4.2 miles.  Turn right onto Bartlett Lake Rd and proceed 2.8 miles to the Camp Creek Wash staging area at 33°50’56.1″N 111°47’11.4″W (Google map coordinates 33.848917\, -111.786500) \nYou can download turn-by-turn instructions to the staging area onto your smartphone using the embedded map at the bottom of the ride description. \n  \nDESERT VISTA OHV AREA MAP \nYou can download a free trail map at https://fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd734580.pdf  or find the map under the Members-Only-Access/Archive Libraries/Outside Reference Maps Library on our club website. \n \n  \nSOCIAL DISTANCING BETWEEN MEMBERS AND VEHICLES \nPlease observe public health directives of 6’-8’ between people and gatherings of <10 people.  If necessary\, we will go out on multiple flights to adhere to the public health guidelines.  No handshaking or high-fives or hugging.  Try to exercise caution and stay apart and off to the side of individuals instead of being downwind of them when talking.  All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing. If you don’t feel well or have not practiced self-quarantine for the past two weeks\, DO NOT come on this ride and put others at risk!  All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing.  All participants MUST wear a mask or dust mask\, kerchief\, bandana\, scarf\, or other means of protective personal equipment for their personal safety as well as for the safety of other participants. \nCOMMUNICATION \nLeader\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunner will be on GMRS/FRS Channel 5 (sub-channel 0) in case you want to bring your walkie-talkies or CB / HAM radios.  The corresponding UHF channel frequency is 462.6625 MHz depending on your radio.  We highly recommend bringing a walkie-talkie to listen to approaching traffic\, turns\, and trail conditions. \nVEHICLE & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS \nAll ATVs\, UTVs\, & SxSs should be street-legal and have the Arizona Off Highway Vehicle Decal sticker. Dress appropriately and keep hydrated. Bring snacks and beverages. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  Depending on the size of the group\, the ride will be about 40 miles with only a few scenic meet-and-greet stops. \nHelmet that is properly fitted\, fastened\, and has a USDOT safety rating for those 18 years of age and younger who ride on an OHV. Riders in an OHV such as a ROV / UTV / SxS or similar vehicle\, while recommended for safety\, do not require a helmet unless a rider is under 18 years of age. The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club promotes the use of helmets on all its rides. Eye protection is required for operators of vehicles not equipped with a windshield. You should use common sense for eye protection\, bandanas\, scarves\, and dust masks for large group riding due to the dust conditions anyway. \nSAFE\, ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE OPERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE \nThe Phoenix ATV / UTV Club is a responsible member of the OHV riding community.  As such\, the Club promotes safe\, ethical\, and responsible operation of OHVs during club rides in accordance with ARIZONA REVISED STATUTE 28-1174A-D SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE OPERATION OF YOUR OHV VEHICLE and in accordance with ARIZONA REVISED STATUTE 28-1381 DRIVING OR ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE\, which prohibits the operation of motorized vehicles\, including OHVs\, while under the influence of any substance that may impair the operator’s judgment or ability. Therefore\, the Club prohibits the consumption or use of any substance during a club ride that has the potential to impair the operator’s judgment or ability. \n  \nTAIL GUNNER & MID-PACK WINGMEN NEEDED \nI need a tail gunner for the ride if any veteran member with a radio wants to volunteer. Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area.  You can also volunteer to be a mid-pack wingmen if you have a radio. \n“You can always go on a ride with people. It’s best to go on a ride with friends.”  Come join a few of us for a fun ride and make new friends! \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live! \n

SUMMARY:OPEN TO THE PUBLIC - Sat\, Dec. 18\, 2021  PAUC Mount Ord – Mt Peeley Trailhead - Mazatzal Wilderness Ride
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO THE PUBLIC – Sat\, Dec. 18\, 2021  PAUC Mount Ord – Mt Peeley Trailhead – Mazatzal Wilderness Ride \nThis is another one of my older Four Points of the Compass rides to give members\, visitors\, and potential new members a chance to explore new areas that they might not normally ride.   The Mount Ord area is expecting sunny but cool 40°–60° temps on Saturday so dress in layers.  I have not posted this ride since May 2020 so I don’t know the current trail conditions.  There is a 12-vehicle limit due to the size of the staging area. \nIF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA SEAT IN YOUR SXS OR UTV FOR THE RIDE\, EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW.    Member guests and friends would like to go on this fun scenic ride.   RIDE INCENTIVE:  Preferential placement to front of the pack to those offering an extra open seat in your SxS or UTV for the ride. \n  \nSOCIAL DISTANCING BETWEEN MEMBERS AND VEHICLES:   Please observe public health directives of 6’-8’ between people and gatherings of <10 people.   If necessary\, we will go out on multiple flights to adhere to the public health guidelines.   No handshaking or high-fives or hugging.   Try to exercise caution and stay apart and off to the side of individuals instead of being downwind of them when talking.   All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing.  If you don’t feel well or have not practiced self-quarantine for the past two weeks\, DO NOT come on this ride and put others at risk!   All participants MUST wear a mask or dust mask\, kerchief\, bandana\, scarf\, or other means of protective personal equipment for their personal safety as well as for the safety of other participants. \n  \nRIDE HIGHLIGHTS \n\nMazatzal Wilderness Mountain Range (Mt. Peeley Trailhead)\nMount Ord Lookout/Viewpoint\n1-mile side-trip to Pala Mine Oven\n2-mile side-trip to Little Mt Ord Viewpoint (if not closed due to wildfire recovery)\n\n      \n   \n \nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nOn Saturday Dec 18th\, at 9:00 AM\, I will lead a ride north of the Sunflower AZ / Four Peaks Tonto National Forest area over to the Mazatzal Mountains (Mt Peeley trailhead) and then up to the top of Mount Ord Lookout.   It will have a couple of extended side-trips to scenic viewpoints.  This is a 50-mile ride that takes 6.5 hours (with scenic meet-and-greet stops & lunch) through some varied and beautiful high desert / mountain scenery.  Bring a camera for those Kodak moments. \nSet OHV odometer to zero (0) at the staging area.  Our first leg of the ride will be a 20-mile round-trip scenic ride north of the staging area on FR 201 into the shady pine trees up to the Arizona Trail / Mazatzal Wilderness Mountains trailhead.   This is a very smooth scenic ride (usually “passenger car smooth”) on graded road from 4000′ to 6700′.   We will have a short 1-mile side-trip on the way down a Moderate-rated rocky trail to the Pala mine oven.   The area was known for mining Cinnabar ore to make Mercury. Hopefully\, the watershed rains have not torn up that trail too bad.   On the way up to the Mt. Peeley trailhead\, there is one of those “Wow!” moments coming around a bend and seeing the sunlight hit the Mazatzal Mountain range.   We will have some short stops on the way for those special Kodak moments.  I t is a 20-mile smooth roundtrip ride but extremely enjoyable and scenic!   We backtrack and return to the staging area on the same FR 201 route. \nThe second leg of the ride will then cross to the EAST side of SR 87 to climb the FR 626 road up to the top of Mount Ord.   The description of the Mount Ord Lookout trail can be found on page 120 of the 2nd edition of the “Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails” (by Charles A. Wells & Matt Peterson).  It is 12-miles long with steep grades and elevations ranging from 3200′ to 6700′.   It is fully-graded and usually smooth enough for a passenger car to get to the top. \nThe 3\,256′ elevation rises immediately and continuously from the SR 87 & FR 626 Mt Ord intersection to the top at 6\,747′.   On our way\, we will have a 2-mile side-trip on FS 1688 to Little Mt Ord Viewpoint.   I think this is the area where a recent wildfire took place so I don’t know if that trail is still open.   It is a MODERATE-rated narrow rocky jeep trail with some off-camber sloping sections.  Two-Up ATVs and 2WD ATVs are usually okay on this side-trip.   It arrives at a spectacular southbound viewpoint looking down on SR87 and the town of Sunflower.   I would rate the entire route of the day-ride as EASY-TO-MODERATE (Level 1–2\, GREEN–BLUE).   We will have lunch at that viewpoint or you can wait to eat at the top of Mount Ord under some pine trees.   Bring snacks\, beverages\, and a lunch for the ride. \nI am NOT planning on doing my optional 10-mile there-and-back side-trip down to the Ord Mine (Cinnabar ore –> Mercury) on the technical difficult FS 27.   If a few experienced club riders want to do it on their own\, they can leave the group on our return down from the top of Mount Ord.   It adds another 1-2 hours to the day-ride. I would rate FS 27 as DIFFICULT-EXTREME (Level 3-4; RED-BLACK) and only for the experienced PAUC club rider. Again\, I am NOT planning on doing that side trip this time.   Two-UP ATVs and 2WD fixed axle vehicles should NOT attempt that off-cambered steep mining trail with its moguls\, humps\, large ruts\, and loose rocks.  They should return back with the group down the FR 626 road to the staging area. \n  \nPOST-RIDE DESERT DESSERT BAR \nHang around for a few moments to say Goodbye to your fellow riders and to make sure everyone made it back.   Our club will be providing cake slices\, cookies\, and/or brownie bites for a post-ride social event Desert Dessert Bar after the ride to top off the ride.   Hang around for a little while to socialize and decompress after re-trailering your vehicles. \n  \nTRAIL RATING\nThe primary ride’s trail rating is rated as an EASY–MODERATE (Level 1–2\, GREEN–BLUE)  on smooth forest road. (Definition: May have some spots that are off-camber; some hilly/rocky spots or few steep slopes; recommended for riders with more than 12  months of riding experience). UTVs / SxSs / ROVs okay on this trail.  2WD vehicles okay.  Two-Up ATVs s/b okay for passengers.   Low range gear recommended for a few rocky areas. \nREFERENCE SCALE FOR DIFFERENT TRAIL BOOK RATINGS \nEasy / Moderate / Difficult / Extreme = Green / Blue / Red / Black = Levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 4. \n  \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe large staging area is 1.1 miles WEST of SR 87 (N Beeline Highway a.k.a. Duthie-Martin Hwy) on the paved Sycamore Creek Road.   This is few miles north of the town of Sunflower AZ on SR 87 (N Beeline Highway).  The intersection is 0.6 miles north of Beeline Hwy mile marker 222 and approximately 33.9 miles north of the Fountain Hills AZ intersection of Shea Blvd & SR 87 (Beeline Hwy).   Get into the northbound left lane as you pass over the Kitty Joe Creek bridge at mile marker 222 to turn WEST onto the Sycamore Creek Road intersection.   Go down the Sycamore Creek paved road 1.1 miles to the staging area on a small plateau. \nGoogle Maps has the approximate coordinates of the staging area at N33°55.814′ W111°27.902′  (or 33.930233\, -111.465033).  Just copy the coordinates into Google Maps satellite view to see the staging area or use our Google Maps embedded map at the bottom of our ride description.  Give yourself enough travel time to get there early.  We will leave the staging area at 9:00AM for the ride. \n  \nVEHICLE & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS\nAll ATVs\, UTVs\, & SxSs should be street-legal and have the Arizona Off Highway Vehicle Decal sticker. This will be a 50-mile roundtrip Easy-to-Moderate desert ride through some varied and beautiful desert / mountain scenery.  Dress appropriately and keep hydrated. BRING A TRAIL LUNCH\, SNACKS\, AND BEVERAGES. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  TOTAL MILEAGE WITH SIDE TRIPS IS APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each rider should know their machine’s fuel consumption on changing elevations/speeds. \nHelmet that is properly fitted\, fastened\, and has a USDOT safety rating for those 18 years of age and younger who ride on an OHV. Riders in an OHV such as a ROV / UTV / SxS or similar vehicle\, while recommended for safety\, do not require a helmet unless a rider is under 18 years of age. The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club promotes the use of helmets on all its rides. Eye protection is required for operators of vehicles not equipped with a windshield. You should use common sense for eye protection\, bandanas\, scarves\, and dust masks for large group riding due to the dust conditions anyway. \nAll vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing.  All participants MUST wear a mask or dust mask\, kerchief\, bandana\, scarf\, or other means of protective personal equipment for their personal safety as well as for the safety of other participants. \n  \nSAFE\, ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE OPERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE \nAll Phoenix ATV/UTV Club members\, visitors\, and guests are expected to have appropriate vehicle registration\, license\, and personal insurance and to operate their vehicles in a responsible manner.  The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club is a responsible member of the OHV riding community.  As such the Club promotes safe and responsible operation of OHVs during club rides.  Arizona Revised Statute 28-1381 prohibits the operation of motorized vehicles\, including OHVs\, while under the influence of any substance that may impair the operator’s judgment or ability.  Therefore\, the Club prohibits the consumption or use of any substance during a club ride that has the potential to impair the operator’s judgment or ability. \n  \nTAILGUNNER NEEDED\nI am looking for an experienced member with a radio to volunteer as my tailgunner.  Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area.   Other riders with radios can volunteer as mid-pack wingmen to maintain radio contact. \n  \nCOMMUNICATION\nLeader\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunner will be on GMRS/FRS Channel 5 (sub-channel 0) in case you want to bring your walkie-talkies or CB / HAM radios.  The corresponding UHF channel frequency is 462.6625 MHz depending on your radio.  I highly recommend bringing a walkie-talkie to listen to approaching traffic and trail conditions. \n“Come join us for a fun ride and explore some local historical trails and make new friends!” \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live!  Happy Trails…

SUMMARY:PAUC Bumble Bee – Mayer – Senator Hwy - Crown King – Cleator Loop Ride
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 12\, 2020  Bumble Bee – Mayer – Senator Hwy – Crown King – Cleator Loop Ride \nRIDE DESCRIPTION\nThis is one of my favorite Four Points of the Compass rides near Phoenix and is a summer favorite to escape the heat.  The Bradshaw Mtns/Crown King area is expecting sunny 45°–72° temps on Tuesday.  We have not done this ride for a while.  We will be heading up the easy front way into the pine tree Bradshaw Mountains from the I-17 Bumble Bee / Crown King Road. \n   \n  \nTwo-thirds of the ride is mostly on a two-lane well-maintained dirt road so the average speed will be 30-35 MPH to give the riders a fast breezy ride with scenic views\, and fun in the sun. This is a very easy fun ride from 2600’ to 6700’ passing counterclockwise northwest via Old Cordes to Mayer and then southwest/south on the mining trail Old Senator Highway to the old mining town/vacation homes of Crown King in the Bradshaw Mountains.  At the option of the riders\, we may stop first at the Antelope Creek waterfall and Bumble Bee Line-Cabin in the Government Springs Wash or simply shortcut transverse the Government Springs Wash for some sandy trail running on our way to Mayer.  We plan to eat on the trail somewhere in the shady Bradshaw Mtns along the Old Senator Hwy.  Afterwards\, we will continue south on the Old Senator Hwy to the  historical mining town of Crown King at 5900′. \n         \nWe don’t know the business impact of the COVID-19 public health directives has had on the historical town of Crown King.  A recent Mingus Mtn-Jerome exploratory ride revealed a number of closed rural businesses in Jerome.  Attendees will have time to walk around the historical town of Crown King.  Afterwards\, we will drive east and down the two CK switchbacks on the Crown King Road to the historical mining town of Cleator with a few viewpoint stops along the way.  This is a relaxing fast ride so we will take our time at our stops for sightseeing and photos. \n      \nIF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA SEAT IN YOUR SXS OR UTV FOR THE RIDE\, EMAIL ME OR FACEBOOK MESSAGE ME TO LET ME KNOW.   Member guests and friends would like to go on this fun scenic ride. \n\nSOCIAL DISTANCING BETWEEN MEMBERS AND VEHICLES:  Please observe public health directives of 6’-8’ between people and gatherings of <10 people.  If necessary\, we will go out on multiple flights to adhere to the public health guidelines.  No handshaking or high-fives or hugging.  Try to exercise caution and stay apart and off to the side of individuals instead of being downwind of them when talking.  All vehicles will maintain adequate spacing to limit dust conditions and social distancing. If you don’t feel well or have not practiced self-quarantine for the past two weeks\, DO NOT come on this ride and put others at risk!  All participants MUST wear a mask or dust mask\, kerchief\, bandana\, scarf\, or other means of protective personal equipment for their personal safety as well as for the safety of other participants.\n  \nTRAIL RATING\nThis ride is rated an overall Easy-to-Moderate Ride [Level 1-2\, Green-Blue] but could occasionally have some difficult sections resulting from a recent washout.  Definition: May have some spots that are off-cambered; some hilly/rocky spots or few steep slopes; recommended for riders with more than 12 months of riding experience).  UTVs / SxSs / ROVs okay on this trail.  2WD vehicles s/b okay.  Low range gear recommended for a very few rocky areas.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers. \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nDrive up I-17 up to the Bumble Bee/Crown King exit 248.  Turn west and head down the asphalt road to the bottom of the hill approximately 2.75 miles from the exit. The asphalt road ends at the bottom of the hill. The staging area is about a ¾ mile further down the Bumble Bee/Crown King DIRT ROAD on the west side of the road. You can view it on the Google Maps Satellite view at coordinates 34°09’41.0″N 112°09’58.7″W or (Google coordinates 34.161400\, -112.166300 ).   The SAFETY MEETING will be at 8:15AM.  The ride will depart at 8:30AM and return approximately 5:00-5:30PM.   Arrive early to unload your vehicle and sign-in.  This is a weekday club ride so we are not expecting a large turnout but who knows with cabin fever rising among our members. \nStaging area on Google Maps:\nEnter the GPS coordinates  34°09’41.0″N 112°09’58.7″W or (Google coordinates 34.161400\, -112.166300 ) into Google Maps and zoom out to see the way from the I-17 Exit 248 to the staging area OR use our Google Map Feature at the bottom of the ride description to get turn-by-turn cellphone instructions from your home on your way. \nTAILGUNNER NEEDED\nI am looking for an experienced member with a radio to volunteer as my tailgunner.  Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area.   Other riders with radios can volunteer as mid-pack wingmen to maintain radio contact. \nCOMMUNICATION\nLeader\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunner will be on GMRS/FRS Channel 5 (sub-channel 0) in case you want to bring your walkie-talkies or CB / HAM radios.  The corresponding UHF channel frequency is 462.6625 MHz depending on your radio.  I highly recommend bringing a walkie-talkie to listen to approaching traffic and trail conditions. \nVEHICLE & EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS\nAll ATVs\, UTVs\, & SxSs should be street-legal and have the Arizona Off Highway Vehicle Decal sticker. Dress appropriately and keep hydrated. BRING A TRAIL LUNCH\, SNACKS\, AND BEVERAGES.

Riders in an OHV such as a ROV / UTV / SxS or similar vehicle\, while recommended for safety\, do not require a helmet unless a rider is under 18 years of age. The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club promotes the use of helmets on all its rides. Eye protection is required for operators of vehicles not equipped with a windshield. You should use common sense for eye protection\, bandanas\, scarves\, and dust masks for large group riding due to the dust conditions anyway. \nSAFE\, ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE OPERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE \nAll Phoenix ATV/UTV Club members\, visitors\, and guests are expected to have appropriate vehicle registration\, license\, and personal insurance and to operate their vehicles in a responsible manner.  The Phoenix ATV/UTV Club is a responsible member of the OHV riding community.  As such the Club promotes safe and responsible operation of OHVs during club rides.  Arizona Revised Statute 28-1381 prohibits the operation of motorized vehicles\, including OHVs\, while under the influence of any substance that may impair the operator’s judgment or ability.  Therefore\, the Club prohibits the consumption or use of any substance during a club ride that has the potential to impair the operator’s judgment or ability. \n“Come join us for a fun ride and explore some local historical stops and trails and make new friends!” \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live!  Happy Trails… \nBob Maitzen\nPhoenix ATV/UTV Club \n(480) 363-7723\nBob.Maitzen@gmail.com
