A four wheel drive excursion covering 4 trails in one day. After meeting in Florence Junction we started by going up Box Canyon and then on to Martinez Cabins for a break and lunch. Then the group headed over to the Coke Ovens and finally out BattleAxe road to Superior. Everyone appeared to be having a great time and the only damage was a broken CB antenna. Vehicles from the Roadrunner 4 Wheelers as well as the Arizona Virtual Jeep Club were present. The run started at 8:00am at the Texaco in Florence Junction and ended at 4:10pm at the 177 outside of Superior. |
