Team Dodge Podge has logged about every cache east of Florence along the Florence-Kelvin Highway, Cochrane Road, Donnelly wash area, and as far east as the Hackberry Wash area. Nothing we encountered would have been too much for a stock 4X4.
North of the Gila, in the Martinez Canyon, Coke Ovens area is a different story. There is some really rough terrain in there, but there is usually an easy bypass. Box Canyon can be traversed by a 2WD as long as it is high-clearance.
The east Florence, Box-O, Cochrane road area is some of the prettiest terrain out there, and especially now, with all the rain and the way the weather's been. There are plenty of campsites along Cochrane Road, all the way down to where it meets the river. My recommendation for an event would be near South Butte.

PS. What's a QX-4?

around Florence are on some pretty challenging dirt. Anyone reading this who's been out there have an opinion on whether the roads out there would be more than a stock QX-4 can handle? The information might have a lot to do with whether or not we can go, so we'd be grateful for any info.
That was going to be my next question, but so far the response has been very underwhelming. I have only had one response so far. Unless there seems to be some interest, I will not pursue this any further.
