Let me know if you find a spot. I live in Tucson, but I should be able to make it up your way if need be. I would like to take my baja out for a beatin.

Still kinda new here. I just got stationed here and the only place I went was more for rock crawling. I couldnt even get out of secound gear. I was hopeing to find a place a little more wide open.

Brad, The forestry service, and the local parks & recreation around here have almost everything fenced off. You have to get a permit to get in. Right now the fire danger has just about everything closed.

VReal......A friend of mine just told me about a place east of Apache Jct. that is supposed to be open. I have never been there yet, but I will keep you guys posted. As soon as we get some rain the powers that be will have everything open again........come on rain.

axishp, you need to come down to Yuma. As long as you don't wander onto the bombing range you'll be ok. Bring lots of water, for when you do wander onto the bombing range, get your car blown up and have to walk out. By the way I got that hood fixed up. Thanks again. Can you pm me on how to widen that beam? Thanks again, Dave

I dont know about the east valley, but the area by Lake Plesant is still open. Lots of trails out there.
