Table Mesa Rd.

[datrupr]

I was thinking on getting out for a day trip this weekend, maybe the Table Mesa Rd. area. I know there are some good trails in that area. I am thinking nothing to difficult, maybe a no harder than a 2.5. I have been cooped up in the house taking care of honey-do's for to many consecutive weekends. If anyone knows of any trails in this area or wanna tag along let me know. I am planning on going out on Saturday.

There is a great trail that heads east from the Table Mesa road exit, and ends up in North Scottsdale. Very scenic. It is in the Massey and Wilson Backcountry book.

Thanks Scott, I am thinking of trying to get to Tip Top if the river is not too bad. I have never been up there and I like exploring inthe ghost towns and mines. If it is flowing pretty strong I will see about going from Table Mesa Rd. to Seven Springs (if the road is re-opened after the fire) then down into Carefree and Scottsdale, on home. If not, I will make it up as I go along. Or if anybody wants to come along and has any ideas they are more than welcome. Even if they don't have any ideas they are more than welcome to come along.

Hmmm....you know what, I was thinking that tomorrow would be a super opportunity to hit a trail. And here you are with this post. Could be the muses again. I consider myself a non-threat to children and I play well with others. I'd be happy to join you. What time are you thinking of heading out?

Hmph. I'm giddy with glee, now.

Mark,
Not sure yet of what time, maybe late morning, have lunch at Tip Top, explore a bit, and then head home in the late afternoon. Email me at apearson_ootw@yahoo.com and we can discuss this a bit more, or PM me. It would be good to have another vehicle on this adventure.

All right! If this smiley means something positive, then here you go:

I sent you an email....

Cheers,

Scott, This trip has now been completed so it can be moved to the completed expeditions thread. It has been a very excellent and fun day with a good trip report to post. I am now going to carry myself off to bed, so I will post the report and a few pics tomorrow.

Excellent. I cannot wait to hear about it!
