My 2013 winter expo area...Superior area (2800') a maze of roads into and to some cool canyon.
Last picture camping from 2 weeks ago testing my heated mattress.

The next morning I pulled some resources from some new blood. A guy named Zuk showed me some cool trails just west of Superior.

Agree, the Picketpost area is .

I dig that area. Especially on we low overcast days. The rock formations take on the coolest colors.

I was looking for a place to camp close to the house with the kids during Xmas vacation. I will have to get the directions from you.

This area is only off the road about 2 miles and with in 15 minutes of your house. Your kids would love it.

The road is now blocked you need to hike to get to it. Unless you are a side by side or ATV chump then you can go around the gate with the rocks as big as a Land Cruiser in front of it to TRY to keep motorized vehicles out.

That is the old road, the mine is now a perlite operation, off limits. There is an area just outside of the mine property where they can be found, dug up.

My guess is we are not talking about the same area.

Are you talking about the perlite mine on the old highway to Queen Valley? That was a great shooting spot. Pinal County SO now kicks you out if you go and shoot there. That huge subdivision a few miles away complains about the shooting noise.

I love that area by queen valley and superior, some really nice trails out there, did a lot of cook outs/hiking/shooting in that area 20 yrs ago.

There are several perlite or gravel operations in this area. The old mine where you could pay, gave you a pick hammer and a bucket to dig, collect Apache Tears, was turned into a perlite operation. It's no longer active, but Perlite RD and the mine site are still blocked off. It can be accessed from the south, off of FR4/Telegraph, there are several accessible deposits and the tears are common in the washes.

This area, the blocked road is about here: http://maps.google.com/maps?sugexp=...a=X&ei=tZDOUMX5N8nWiwKctoDoDw&ved=0CDIQ8gEwAA
