I was invited a couple weeks ago to join up a group of wheelers that apparently have known and wheeled with each other for some time. these gents are a pretty cool bunch and enjoy the outdoors. The agenda was to go in around Mayer, follow the Agua Fria river (just beautiful - one day Id like to follow this river bottom much further up) and locate the Bingingham and Stoddard mines. The roads in the area of the mines have been nicely graded due to the reported reopening of this old gold mine. New technology will be able to draw more of the precious metals out and apparently is worth reopening. The area is pockmarked with many mine openings and includes a tailings area. The elevation ended up around 4600 feet with sprinkling rain that lowered the temperature to the 70's . We ended up exiting the mountains into the backside of Dewey which I never realized how beautiful and green that little town is. A beautiful place indeed! Mtkreitz and Msahr joined us in the last minute.
Thanks to run hosts Bob P. and Joe C. A great time.
