[Az-Geocaching] Fountain 4WD Trip

[Mark S]

Had a great day today. Left the 60 southbound east of town. Don't really 
know what the road was because it wasn't marked. Had we followed it to the 
end it would ahve led us through Box Canyon and out the south end. 
Unfortunately, the road gets seriously narrow about 4 tenths of a mile from 
the cache we were going after "Box Canyon Book Cache". There are some rock 
obstacles on either side of the road and to avoid body damage we decided not 
to try to get through. At this point in the trail you are driving the creek 
and the rocks were wet and slippery. We had already traversed a few 
obstacles where one of the members of our party had to spot us over tham. 
Our Libertys met the task of the trail flawlessly. I think probably better 
than my Wrangler would have. Once I have some lift and lockers it will 
handle it fine.

My point form this is two fold. First, the area is gorgeous. All the rain 
has turned it into a lush green paradise. My second point is, ther are 
trails in the area where UAVs(Urban Assault Vehicles) don't belong. The 
rocks are a good reason why we didn't see a single BMW, Lexus, Acura, 
Cadilac or Lincoln. We saw one Pathfinder. It had suffered body damage. 
There are plenty of trails where two wheelers with clearance can go. Just 
make sure you go with a seasoned and responsible 4 wheeler. They may be the 
best ones to get you in and out without leaving some paint on the rocks.

We found one cache and had a great time.
