My caching vehicle is a stock 2004 Dodge Ram 1500
Quad Cab, 2WD 17" rims. My driving on the local dirt &
gravel roads in this area is fairly limited. I have been able to
get to the fire tower at T824 Horsethief Lookout cache via Crown
King Rd. I also did a little driving on W Table Mesa Rd, west of
I-17. I was able to make it to the arm of Lake Pleasant just
below "Wild Burro" cache at Cow Creek Rd. There was an elevation
change in the road I knew I could not go up at that point.
There are some other backroads I would like to take. But I am
unsure if the truck and my lack of experience driving on these
backroads can make the trip. I don't want to plan a full day
outing only to have to turn back at some point.
One of the trips is caching along Castle Hot Springs Road.
I basically envision starting off near Lake Pleasant and then
heading north and looping around coming out near 74 & 60.
Another is taking Table Mesa Rd from I-17 and going east to
T824 Table Mesa cache. Then continuing on to Seven Springs Rd
and Cave Creek Rd.
For those of you that have traveled those roads, are there
any big dips, drops, washouts, etc that would keep me from
completing these? Other than the obvious "don't do it after it
has rained" and "take a lot of water", do y'all have any
suggestions or comments?
