Good deal, it looks like there are several trails in that area that "need" to be explored.

Since you all were there
Hi all!
First of all, I would like to thank you guys for your reports and photos. It provided the motivation for me to get back out into the area. It has been about 30 years since I last wandered around in that area. My brother in law and I went in last Tuesday and wandered around for three days primarily out in the Tablelands north and west of Parson's Grove. It was great to revisit some of the adventures of our "utes". You first timers were correct to speculate that there is a lot to see in this country, but as you have seen it is pretty rough and pretty slow going(like you like it!). We left the "big boys trucks" behind and went in my bro in law's new toy. It's performance and ride is pretty impressive. The second photo is of the cord wood that was used to fire the boilers at the mine. In the 70's/80's, the stacks were more extensive. The third photos is of some interesting "glyphs" that cover a cave wall.

A bit more info on the Rug Road. The carpet was put there by the rancher, but not to support his ranching operation but so that he could commute from the Aravaipa to his day job at the San Manuel Mine!(needless to say it was not a daily commute) The Rug Road is also part of the Grand Enchantment Trail, a hiking route that utilizes trails and backcountry roads to connect Phoenix to Albuquerque(?) Anyway, here are some photos of other homestead buildings in the area.
