After reading about the Coves on here, we decided to check 'em out for some swimming fun yesterday. Our swimming adventure quickly turned into an impromptu wheeling adventure.
I was alternately bumming that we didn't have the Cruiser, and grateful. The Tahoe now has some nice pinstripes. (Banked, sandy) ATV trails just weren't meant for such a fatass truck I guess. But it was *interesting*.
We probably bushwhacked through the chapparral in the wash for an hour. Then we were up on a ridge, along a fenceline, and could see the lake way off in the distance.
We did eventually find the water (I think it was Hidden Cove), and splashed around and had some beer, before wandering along every ridge North of Saguaro Lake, trying to find out way out. Climbed and descended some pretty steep hills. The way back was a touch easier, but still mostly involved a rocky ridge road. I think we took the loooooong way.
I think the key bit of info we were missing, was that when you go through the gate, to go straight *across* the wash, and up the hill, rather than turning along left and going through the wash. But any other tips are welcome. However, I don't think we'll be visiting the Coves again for a very very long time.

When your told to go 6 miles and it's not there, then you punch in them silly numbers into the unit and it tells you to go back 2.4 miles, the 6 mile thing is a bit off!
