America 250 Local Jeep Trip

As part of America's 250th, Lily and I headed out for a jeep trip in the local national forest.  We started out on Tonto Rd, to Fair Oaks to Telephone Rd to Camp Wood Rd.  These were all easy roads and the going was fast. Jordan Well and Mud Tank trails had some tight spots but still were easy going.  We then turned north onto Walnut Creek.  Our goal was to get near Apache Creek Wilderness so turned east onto FR 95B.  Then the trail got very rough and tight.  It took a while to get to FR 95A and Graver Wash to hook back up to Walnut Creek.  From there, we headed back along Williamson Valley Rd.

Overall the trip was fun but rough.  We got in to some great views.
