[Az-Geocaching] Driving on the backroads

[Patrick Brown]

the Castle Hot Springs road from the lake to Morris town is fine via 2W 
Drive , some of the off roads are not as friendly. I am in Wickenburg 
and a lot of the caches you can get to via 2w drive out here, Altho some 
are not as easy just watch as you go.
