It's all about the pie!!

[Matts_12GS]

With all due respect...

 

You suck! I am so jealous...

 

Reminds me of the line from the John Hiatt song "How bad's the coffee, how good's the pie?"

[Kathy R]

Thanks for posting your pie tale. The pie was almost scary to look at, for me, first thing in the morning. Carmel makes me think of the dentist.

 

Idyllic camping scene. I am jealous too.

Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the reminder.

 

 

 

Yep, we did go there when we rode with Pat Hayes through the woods.

 

Jan, I rode with Phil Curtis, a Tucson snow-bird from Mich. Excellent rider. Rides a GS, a KTM 690E and a KTM 525. I can't keep up with him on any of his bikes! Good guy

Okay already. How many miles of dirt does one need to ride on their RT to get to this destination. We may be riding in the area later this year.

If you're coming from the south at Lake Roosevelt off of hwy 188, hwy 288 is 49 miles to Young of which about half is dirt. If you're coming from the north off of hwy 260, 288 goes south to Young and is about 25 miles of which most is dirt.

Joe, come in from the South and it is REALLY easy for an RT to make it. A lot of that section is pretty much paved or as they are laying a new version of asphalt in Arizona, they are taking the old and rolling it along the road to Young. There is maybe about 15+ miles of hard packed road that you will be riding with the rest paved. Going North out of Young, you will hit some more traditional Arizona Fire Roads that have some loose rock on it, but no sand or anything. Just need to go slow.

 

Rolled asphalt (note there are no markings on this section of road) and do look for potholes.

 

The Dirt Part

 

North of Young up on the Rim

 

Hope that helps amigo
