I just turned into a huge maybe for this weekend. My well pump stopped working today. I think I have a temporary fix but if it is not good enough for through the weekend I will have to tend to that. Hopefully I can make this work until I have time to get it permanently fixed.

Hey @Stepmurr . . . pick me up one of those passes on your way up . . . that web-page is still down . . .

Well it looks like Mt. Graham is going to be closed for awhile . . . and their talking years . . .

Will do - I'll pick it up at the Show Low kmart on friday.
 
I'd love to do this run, but wife's bday festivities are already planned. I was just talking about trying to lead a run to Greer, which is pretty close to where y'all are going. Enjoy!

very grim forecast for the area . . .
 
Yikes...that's ugly.
 
Family friendly??? Wife/kids trip same weekend already planned but this sounds / looks like an awesome area.
 
I wouldn't count on the online permits being available for the WMAT. Its been down for months...purchase at Carrizo Junction, Hon-Dah or Hon Dah Outdoor. Available in Whiteriver too.

I'd recommend someone gets up to Diamond Rock area before weekend to lock in a site, area does see a good amount of use during summer.

I was able to get passes at the Sinclair gas station at the highway 60 / 73 intersection in case anyone else wants one.

I'll treat it to a carwash when I get back!
 
Any pics from the run? Hope y'all didn't get rained on too much.
 
We got rained on for quite a while after we set up camp but the Oz-tent and Bat270 with a little help from one of Steve's tarps did the trick. The campsite we found and Pichata Falls were awesome. Absolutely worth the drive. From the falls, I drove west across the reservation toward White River then the 60 and got some pretty amazing views to include the Salt River Canyon which I had never seen before. Adam did a nice job flexing to this area end game and Steve did some nice scouting work for us before we got there so a really great trip.
 
Thanks @floggerdogger for setting up this trip - great camping in the forest!
