SUMMARY:PAUC Western Sedona Ride
DESCRIPTION:This ride is just southwest of Sedona. It is basically the same as the “Show Me” ride with 2 differences. 1. We will not be taking the Power Road. 2. We will go to the Palatki Ruins for a guided tour (I have reservations)and the Honanki Ruins for a self guided tour.\nThis is one of the most beautiful rides ever! We will see picture perfect scenes of the red rock formations and ancient Indian ruins and pictographs so make sure to bring your camera. The difficulty ranges from easy to moderate with some hills\, whoopti doos and fun stuff. \nBoth Indian ruin sites involve a short hike. (If you aren’t interested in the hike to see the ruins\, you can take a nap and look at the photos when the hikers return. ) \nWe will stop for lunch at the Palatki Indian ruins where there is a restroom and shaded picnic tables. Our tour begins at 12:15 sharp but we should have time to use the facilities and eat before the tour. The National Forest Service requires a Senior Pass\, Annual pass or a Sedona day pass ($5) all of which work for both Indian ruin sites. One pass per vehicle needs to be displayed on your dash in the parking lot or hanging from your rear-view mirror signature side up. A pass can be purchased at the site if necessary. (No one has ever checked the vehicle passes or asked us to pay but just in case……) Forest rangers will tell you about the sites. \nPalatki is actually two sites. One is the actual ruins of the Sinaqua Cliff Dwelling and the other is over 1\,000 petroglyphs and pictographs carved and painted into the rocks and formations by prehistoric natives that occupied the area during various times in ancient history. The Palatki Ruins are hidden behind some trees and if you didn’t know the dwelling was there\, it would be easy to miss. Palatki is a Hopi Indian word meaning “red house”. The cliff dwelling was built by the Sinaqua Indians (Spanish for “without water”) about 1150 and was mysteriously abandoned at about 1300. It’s interesting to note that the Sinaquas also built Montezuma Castle\, the cliff dwelling ruins about 50 miles east of this site near Camp Verde\, Arizona. It’s plausible that the Sinaquas were eliminated by other enemy tribes in the area or vacated this area due to a lengthy drought adversely affecting their ability to grow necessary crops. \nAfter lunch and the Palatki Ruins tour\, we will head over to the Honanki Ruins about 4 miles away. This will be a self guided tour. \nThe Honanki (Hopi for Bear House) Ruins sit at the base of Loy Butte on the sheltered west-facing cliffs. They are among the largest ancient population sites in the Verde Valley\, occupied between AD 1130-1280. The site originally contained about 60 rooms. The cave is rich with pictographs; some date back to 2000 BC\, long before the the cliff dwellings. Most of the pictographs are from the Sinagua and date to AD 900-1300. \nStaging area: Take I-17 north to Hwy 260. Head west to 89A. On 89A go north approximately 1 mile north of the Page springs turnoff to FS 525 on the left. There is a kiosk at the staging area about a mile from 89A on the left side of the road. I drive a white motorhome pulling a green Honda Talon. \nWe will have a quick drivers meeting and review the rotation. \nThere will be plenty of pink jeeps and people out exploring in their ATV rentals so we will need to be courteous drivers and be aware of any on coming traffic. We will meet at 8:15 and leave the staging area at 8:30 so that we won’t be late arriving at Palatki. (I will be driving up the day before to camp and you are welcome to camp as well.) \nBring a camera\, lunch\, snacks and plenty of water. \nI can only bring 10 people due to the size of the cliff dwelling ledge at Palatki. The first 10 people (not 10 buggies) to notify me via text 623-692-5908 will be on the ride list.

DESCRIPTION:  Feb 8\, 2020 – Four Peaks Mountain Summit + EL Oso Mine + Rolls OHV Area Ride (Northeast of Fountain Hills / Fort McDowell area)\n\nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nThis is one of my FOUR POINTS OF THE COMPASS rides that gives members\, visitors\, and potential new members a chance to explore new areas that they might not normally ride.  This is also one of those fun rides where you want to bring the wife\, family\, or that friend that you been wanting to convince about getting into ATV riding to come along.   The 7-day weather forecast is expecting 49°-73° with sunny weather.  Dress appropriately in layers and keep hydrated. \nOn Saturday\, Feb 8th\, at 9:30 AM\, a number of veteran ride leaders will lead a Phoenix ATV/UTV Club Ride up to the summit of the Four Peaks mountain range and over to the El Oso Mine on the scenic Mazatzal Divide ridgeline trail before descending back into the Rolls OHV Area to visit the Saquaro Lake Hidden Beach Cove # 2.   Depending on the member turnout\, we may go out in multiple flights.  Pack a lunch to eat at the top of the mountain.  Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  From the top of the mountain\, you can look down on Roosevelt Lake through the pine trees and scrub pine. \nAfter the summit lunch\, we will do a side-trip on the scenic Edwards Park trail following the Mazatzal Divide ridgeline to the nearby El Oso Mine.  Those adventurous riders with flashlights can take a group walking tour of the many mine adit tunnels while the rest of the group has a meet-and-greet session.  Bring a tactical flashlight for each person to explore the bedrock tunnel system.  Your cellphone light will not provide enough light in the many side tunnels. \nThis is a 50-mile roundtrip Easy-to-Moderate desert hills ride up to the top of Four Peaks Mountain that takes 5-6 hours (including the meal & stops) through some varied and beautiful desert / mountain scenery. On the return\, riders can opt to drive back to the staging area OR extend their time by an hour and another 16 miles RT doing some exploring through the Rolls OHV Area out to the Saquaro Lake Hidden Beach Cove # 2.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each rider should know their machine’s fuel consumption. \n  \nALL MEMBERS\, GUESTS\, VISITORS\, AND POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOMED ON THIS RIDE.  IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA SEAT IN YOUR SXS OR UTV FOR THE RIDE\, CALL OR EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW.   I drive an ATV and I have a few friends that would like to go on this ride. \nDESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS \n\nFour Peaks/Rolls OHV Area\nMud Springs Trailhead\nFour Peaks Mountaintop (Lone Pines Trailhead Summit)\nViews of Roosevelt Lake\nMazatzal Divide ridgeline (Edward Parks trail)\nEl Oso Mine Tour\nRolls OHV Area + Saquaro Lake Hidden Beach Cove # 2\n\n  \nPOST-RIDE DESERT DESSERT BAR \nOur club will be providing brownie bites\, lemon bites\, cake slices\, cookies\, and sodas for a post-ride social event Desert Dessert Bar after the Rolls OHV Area ride to top off the day ride.  Hang around for a little while to socialize and decompress after re-trailering your vehicles. \n  \nTRAIL RATING \nThe Four Peaks/EL Oso Mine/Rolls OHV Area ride is usually 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-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 s/b okay.  Low range gear recommended for a very few rocky areas.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers. \n  \nSTAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe ride will start from the Four Peaks/Rolls OHV staging area at 9:30 AM to give time to the West Valley members\, visitors\, and potential new members to get there. To get to the staging area\, head 15.1 miles north (16 minutes) on the Beeline Highway (Highway 87) from Shea Blvd to the Cline Cabin Road / Four Peaks Road (approx milepost 204)\, turn right (east) and go 0.7 miles east of Highway 87 to the fenced staging area.   Google Maps has the approximate coordinates at N33° 40′ 9″\, W111° 29′ 42 ( 33.669167\, -111.495000).  You can view it on the Google Maps Satellite view by copying those coordinates into Google Maps.   I drive a white Ford Expedition with white 5×14 trailer and ride a black Polaris 500 Sportsman X2 ATV.  The ride will depart at 9:30AM after the 9:15AM safety meeting.  Get there early by 8:30AM to unload\, sign-in\, and meet-and-greet other riders. \n\nCOMMUNICATION\nFlight leaders\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunners 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\, 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 a lunch\, snacks\, and beverages. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  Depending on the size of the group\, the ride will be about 63 miles in 7-8 hours including the meal & scenic meet-and-greet stops.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each driver should know their vehicle’s gas consumption and plan accordingly.  You can buy gas in Wickenburg. \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  \nTAIL GUNNER\nIf my usual outstanding wingman can’t make it\, I will need a tail gunner for the ride if any PAUC member wants to volunteer. Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area. \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! \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live!   Happy Trails To You… Until We Meet Again… \nBob Maitzen\, President\nPhoenix ATV/UTV Club \n(480) 363-7723\nBob.Maitzen@gmail.com \n

SUMMARY:PAUC PRE-RIDE - Wickenburg-Stanton-Yarnell-Hassayampa River Box Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Hi Gang\, \nI am back in town from the holidays and caregiving duties for my Mom in Chicago.  Our Phoenix ATV/UTV Club will be hosting a Wickenburg to Yarnell club ride for members of the Colorado Cliff Riders club visiting the area (Jan 22-27) from Westcliffe Colorado.  Bill Poppo and I are going to do a PRE-RIDE this Saturday Jan 18th to check out trail conditions.  I’m also looking for some flight leaders/tailgunners to help out.  In the meantime\, feel free to join us on the pre-ride.  Bring a guest if you want to invite someone on the pre-ride. \n  \nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nThe pre-ride will be northeast of Wickenburg up to the Stanton Goldfields/Ghost Town and then to Yarnell for lunch at the Ranch House Restaurant and return via the Hassayampa River Box Canyon.  This is a 63-mile desert mountain and Hassayampa River Box Canyon ride that takes 7-8 hours (with scenic stops & lunch) through some varied and beautiful desert / mountain scenery (elev 1900′-4900′).  Depending on the group size\, we should be back at the staging area between 4:30pm-5:00pm. \n  \nDIRECTIONS TO STAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe general riding area is northeast of Wickenburg.  The staging area is at the north Constellation Park parking lot across from the Wickenburg Rodeo Grounds at 935 Constellation Rd\, Wickenburg\, AZ 85390.  From SR60 (Wickenburg Way)\, turn north on Jack Burden Road at the McDonalds restaurant and go 300′ to the Constellation Road intersection.  Turn right on Constellation Road and head northeast 1.0 mile to the Wickenburg Rodeo Grounds.  Google Maps has the approximate GPS coordinates at N33° 58.837′ W112° 42.636′ or by copying the following map coordinates [33.980617\, -112.710600] into Google Maps Satellite view.  The ride will stage at the north roadside parking lot and depart at 9:00AM after the 8:45AM safety meeting.  Get there early by 8:15am to unload\, sign-in\, and meet-and-greet other riders. \n  \nTRAIL RATING\nThe Wickenburg-to-Yarnell ride is usually 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-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 s/b okay.  Low range gear recommended for a very few rocky areas.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers. \n  \nCOMMUNICATION\nFlight leaders\, mid-pack wingmen\, and tailgunners will be on GMRS/FRS Channel 5 (sub-channel 0) in case you want to bring your walkie-talkies or CB / HAM radios. I think the 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  \nLUNCH \nThe Ranch House restaurant in Yarnell only holds 40 people and is only open to 2:00pm.  Depending on the group size\, we “may” arrive there at 1:00pm.  Those that bring a lunch can eat at the Shrine of St. Joseph parking lot. \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.  Depending on the size of the group\, the ride will be about 63 miles in 7-8 hours including the meal & scenic meet-and-greet stops.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each driver should know their vehicle’s gas consumption and plan accordingly.  You can buy gas in Wickenburg. \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.

SUMMARY:PAUC Lake Pleasant - Castle Hot Springs – Buckhorn Mtns - Wickenburg Ride (Lake Pleasant OHV Area)
DESCRIPTION:Nov 7\, 2019 – Lake Pleasant – Castle Hot Springs – Buckhorn Mtns – Wickenburg Ride (Lake Pleasant OHV Area) \nThis is a last minute spur of the moment ride.  Lauren H and I are doing an exploratory ride on Thursday\, Nov 7th from the Lake Pleasant area through the Buckhorn Mtns to Wickenburg for lunch. \nALL MEMBERS\, GUESTS\, VISITORS\, AND POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOMED ON THIS EXPLORATORY RIDE.\n\nGENERAL DESCRIPTION\nOn Thursday\, November 7th\, at 8:30 AM\, Lauren H and I will lead a ride north of Lake Pleasant with a stop at the Castle Hot Springs Resort and then down and through Castle Creek to the Buckhorn Road/Walkers Gulch intersection (approx 13.5 miles from staging area).   We are going to drive through the scenic Buckhorn Mountains along the 11-mile N Buckhorn Road segment with a stop at the Abe Lincoln Mine.  Heading north on Buckhorn Road with its many changing mountain range elevations\, we will come out on Constellation Road and then head 10 miles SW on Constellation Road to Wickenburg for lunch.   After lunch at the preferred Tastee Freeze or the optional McDonalds restaurants in Wickenburg\, we are going to return with a side trip via Blue Tank Road north of Wickenburg before returning on Constellation Road.   Total estimated mileage using that route would be between 80-85 miles in length.   All mileage quotes are only estimates.  Extra fuel is usually not required but each driver should know their vehicle’s gas consumption and plan accordingly.   If desired\, you can buy gas in Wickenburg. \nTRAIL RATING\nThe majority of the proposed trail routes are an EASY-to-MODERATE (Green-Blue; Level 1-2) ride rating with the occasional DIFFICULT (Red; Level 3) section thrown in.   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 width. 2WD vehicles may have difficulty on terrain and changing elevations.  Low range gear recommended for some rocky areas.  Two-Up ATVs okay for passengers.  Kids under 18 years old riding on their own vehicles are NOT permitted on this exploratory pre-ride due to unknown trail conditions and for safety concerns by the ride leader. \nDIRECTIONS TO STAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe general riding area is north of Lake Pleasant.  Assuming an approach from I-17\, take Carefree Highway (AZ-74) west 11.4 miles to Castle Hot Springs Road which is on the west side of Lake Pleasant. Turn north on Castle Hot Springs Road and go north 5.5 miles.  There are two parking lot staging areas on both sides of the road about 2 city blocks before the road curves and ends at a T-intersection and stop sign by the north park entrance to the Castle Creek boat launch and campground.  Google Maps has the approximate GPS coordinates at N33° 54.247′ W112° 19.558′ or by copying the following map coordinates [33.904117\, -112.325967] into Google Maps Satellite view.  Click the embedded map to get driving directions from your house to the staging area.  The ride will stage at the roadside parking lot and depart at 8:30AM after the 8:15AM safety meeting.  Get there early to unload and meet-and-greet other riders. \nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nSet OHV odometer to zero (0) at the roadside staging area. Turn north on Castle Hot Springs Road and go north 0.3 miles until it curves and ends at a T-intersection and stop sign by the north park entrance to the Castle Creek boat launch and campground.  Turn left (north) at the stop sign onto Castle Hot Springs Road where it becomes a dirt road.  There is a lot of oncoming traffic through the area so be careful.  At 2.5 miles\, you will cross the land bridge over a portion of Lake Pleasant.  At 3.1 miles\, you will hit the intersection of Cow Creek Road and Castle Hot Springs Road.  Stay heading straight (north) on Castle Hot Springs Road. Watch for wild burros through this next area. There are two distinct family herds (one grey and one black) along the Castle Hot Springs Road river bottom. Proceed through river bottom mining community and canyons for 4.6 miles to the Castle Hot Springs Resort at the base of Governor’s Peak Mtn [7.7 – first stop to stretch legs and take pictures]. We will continue around the resort and down the road through a scenic desert / mountain area (lots of Kodak moments so don’t be afraid to stop). The Hell’s Canyon Wilderness Area will be on the northside of the road in the distance.  Watch for cows on all the roads. Proceed for 1.9 miles to Champie Road intersection [9.6 – second quick stop to make sure everyone turns left]. Another 1.0 mile and we hit the Buckhorn Road intersection [10.6- third quick stop to collect everyone). Proceed right and down into Castle Creek river bottom. This is a soft and sandy area due to the winter rains washing a lot of sand into the creek bed. Depending on the recent rain in the northern watershed\, Castle Creek may have some shallow water in it. There is a 1.5-mile sandy stretch that usually has a meandering creek 6” to 12” deep flowing back-and-forth. A lot of times it is bone dry during the year. Look for shallow crossings and watch your trail buddy. We will stop at the Walker’s Gulch/Buckhorn Road intersection [13.4 – water bottle break]. From there\, we will go 200′ east to the N Buckhorn Road and head north for 11 miles to the Constellation Road.  Turning left (west)\, we ride the 2-lane graded road 10 miles to Wickenburg for lunch.                                     \nTAIL GUNNER NEEDED\nI need a tail gunner for the ride if any member wants to volunteer. Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area. \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. I think the 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 lunch\, snacks\, and beverages. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  Depending on the size of the group\, the ride will be about 80 miles in 7 hours including the meal & scenic meet-and-greet stops. 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.

On Friday Oct 25th\, at 9:00 AM\, Bill Poppo and I will lead a few Phoenix ATV/UTV Club members on a ride north of Lake Pleasant up to Castle Hot Springs down through Castle Creek through Walker’s Gulch and return via Cow Creek Road.  This is a 40-50 mile clockwise loop desert hills ride that takes 5 hours (with scenic stops & lunch) through some varied and beautiful desert / mountain scenery.  Bring a camera for those Kodak moments. \nALL MEMBERS\, GUESTS\, VISITORS\, AND POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOMED ON THIS RIDE.  IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA SEAT IN YOUR SXS OR UTV FOR THE RIDE\, CALL OR EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW.  I have a few friends that would like to go on this ride. \nThis is one of my FOUR POINTS OF THE COMPASS rides that gives members\, visitors\, and potential new members a chance to explore new areas that they might not normally ride.  This is also one of those fun rides where you want to bring the wife\, family\, or that friend that you been wanting to convince about getting into ATV riding to come along.  Hopefully\, the weather will cooperate for this Saturday. \nDIRECTIONS TO STAGING AREA AND START TIME\nThe general riding area is north of Lake Pleasant.  Assuming an approach from I-17\, take Carefree Highway (AZ-74) west 11.4 miles to Castle Hot Springs Road which is on the west side of Lake Pleasant. Turn north on Castle Hot Springs Road and go north 5.5 miles.  There are two parking lot staging areas on both sides of the road about 2 city blocks before the road curves and ends at a T-intersection and stop sign by the north park entrance to the Castle Creek boat launch and campground.  Google Maps has the approximate GPS coordinates at N33° 54.247′ W112° 19.558′ or by copying the following map coordinates [33.904117\, -112.325967] into Google Maps Satellite view.  The ride will stage at the roadside parking lot and depart at 9:00AM after the 8:45AM safety meeting.  Get there early to unload and meet-and-greet other riders. \nRIDE DESCRIPTION \nSet OHV odometer to zero (0) at the roadside staging area. Turn north on Castle Hot Springs Road and go north 0.3 miles until it curves and ends at a T-intersection and stop sign by the north park entrance to the Castle Creek boat launch and campground.  Turn left (north) at the stop sign onto Castle Hot Springs Road where it becomes a dirt road.  There is a lot of oncoming traffic through the area so be careful.  At 2.5 miles\, you will cross the land bridge over a portion of Lake Pleasant.  At 3.1 miles\, you will hit the intersection of Cow Creek Road and Castle Hot Springs Road.  Stay heading straight (north) on Castle Hot Springs Road. Watch for wild burros through this next area. There are two distinct family herds (one grey and one black) along the Castle Hot Springs Road river bottom. Proceed through river bottom mining community and canyons for 4.6 miles to the Castle Hot Springs Resort at the base of Governor’s Peak Mtn [7.7 – first stop to stretch legs and take pictures]. We will continue around the resort and down the road through a scenic desert / mountain area (lots of Kodak moments so don’t be afraid to stop). The Hell’s Canyon Wilderness Area will be on the northside of the road in the distance.  Watch for cows on all the roads. Proceed for 1.9 miles to Champie Road intersection [9.6 – second quick stop to make sure everyone turns left]. Another 1.0 mile and we hit the Buckhorn Road intersection [10.6- third quick stop to collect everyone). Proceed right and down into Castle Creek river bottom. This is a soft and sandy area due to the winter rains washing a lot of sand into the creek bed. Depending on the recent rain in the northern watershed\, Castle Creek may have some shallow water in it. There is a 1.5-mile sandy stretch that usually has a meandering creek 6” to 12” deep flowing back-and-forth. A lot of times it is bone dry during the year. Look for shallow crossings and watch your trail buddy. We will stop at the Walker’s Gulch intersection [13.4 – water bottle break]. From there\, head east through a fence gate and continue in Castle Creek 5 miles to see the HooDoo rock formations and “Charles Schulz Pictograph”.  We would return on the same side route back to the Walker’s Gulch entrance. Proceed into Walker’s Gulch. We’ll have a lunch break at the Lookout Viewpoint [26.8]. Turn right (south) at the Walker’s Gulch Rd intersection with Cow Creek Road [28.6 – quick stop to collect everyone]. There is a gate at 32.0. The tail gunner should close and lock the gate. We pass the CK Road (back road to Crown King) at 34.5. We pass through the mining community of Columbia at 36.4 and pass the east end intersection of Champie Road at 38.5. There are numerous Kodak moments approaching what I call “Half Dome” at 39.3. We continue south on Cow Creek Road to the Castle Hot Springs intersection and turn left (south) [46.1 – quick stop to collect everyone].  Stay on Castle Hot Springs heading south to the roadside staging area [49.6].  Hang around for a few moments to say Goodbye to your fellow riders and to make sure everyone made it back. \nWALKER‘S GULCH LOOP RIDE \nMiles Odometer\n0.0     0.0  Roadside staging area\n3.1     3.1  Head north at Castle Hot Springs Road & Cow Creek Road intersection\n4.6     7.7  Castle Hot Springs Resort (first stop)\n1.9     9.6  Champie Road intersection (west end) – quick stop to collect riders.

Otherwise\, a responsible rider will be appointed at the staging area. \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. I think the 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 lunch\, snacks\, and beverages. Bring a camera for those Kodak moments.  Depending on the size of the group\, the ride will be about 40 miles in 5 hours including the meal & scenic meet-and-greet stops. 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. \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. \nLive to Ride… Ride to Live!  Happy Trails… \nBob Maitzen\nPresident\, Phoenix ATV/UTV Club \n(480) 363-7723\nBob.Maitzen@gmail.com
