We had a blast on this run. I ran this with Mike (silverfox), Jason (jmcallis), and Marshall (Zhvonte). Mike is very knowledgeable about the area and showed us some new trails that I didnt know about. He knew of one (of several) ways to go from Table Mesa Road to the Crown King backroad. We also explored some of the Agua Fria wash and ended up finding some nice mud down near Lake Pleasant. Though the temps were pretty hot out (at least 110F) the scenery was excellent and we had a blast.

Pics will be posted in a few minutes.

The Agua Fria river when dry. This wash can fill with water with heavy rains.. when dry (most of the time), its a blast to play in the sand:
