Too bad that big megapolis of Phoenix and it's suburbs have to be so close. On the trail we took from Lost Dutchman State Park it seemed one of the Apache Junctions suburbs was butted right up against the mountain. I'd like to be up there at night though to see all the city lights below.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-41407125596673455212018-02-27T20:41:45.048-06:002018-02-27T20:41:45.048-06:00I think I can see where we were parked at Lost Dut...I think I can see where we were parked at Lost Dutchman State Park. I had heard there was boondocking spots near there but we didn't look for them. Enjoy the area. It's awesome!<br />The road to Tortilla Flats is very good. Some hairpins, but not dangerous. We didn't go on to Rosevelt Lake. It's unpaved past the Flats.<br />We're back in Quartzsite tonight.Dave McMechanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321482378390568366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-61883522195960696722018-02-27T10:22:15.910-06:002018-02-27T10:22:15.910-06:00Hey, we are neighbors.

Not sure we would enjoy the drive through Phoenix, though...lol The only time we stayed in that area Tom was in a full service RV park well I flew home to be with our daughter who had just had a baby. From the pictures you have posted and Lorne posted, looking at Deb's next, we are thinking it needs to added to the list of places to visit. To have the view in the last picture would make the trip worth it.Tom and Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564285175697134395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-1788933947853221062018-02-27T10:12:36.032-06:002018-02-27T10:12:36.032-06:00Great pictures and a great day for all of you!

Google it on "dangerous roads.org" or "trip savvy.com" . It goes thru Lost Dutchman State Park and Tortilla Flats - at which point it becomes unpaved & you go on to Roosevelt Lake ( and further if you want ). I have never seen it in person but have read & saw some photos. White knuckle, hairpin curves, no guard rails, tires almost hanging off cliffs. Sounds like a perfect Doug and Yuma adventure in the Jeep ! 😳😀😱Moonfly13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205504180588291323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-55767886321021854892018-02-27T07:12:01.303-06:002018-02-27T07:12:01.303-06:00Nice that you made it there safely, Enjoy your tim...Nice that you made it there safely, Enjoy your time there, the views are awesome.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-75244354366658202432018-02-27T00:54:27.329-06:002018-02-27T00:54:27.329-06:00Doug, you will enjoy the Superstition Mountains,th...Doug, you will enjoy the Superstition Mountains,they're magical.Interesting history.
