  1. Considering that the closure order was just updated recently and it still says Nov 1, it isn't looking good.  I actually spoke to a young lady at the Coronado NF Catalina district office a while back asking if I could get written permission just to go in and retrieve a couple trail cameras in the Catalinas, was told she would check into it and took my phone number.  She actually returned my call the following week, but only to tell me my request was denied.

  2. Quality of the roads varies a LOT.  There are some crazy rocky, rough roads that will beat up you and your vehicle pretty good.  But there are plenty of others that aren't bad at all.  Just depends on where you want to get to.

    Must be west of Courthouse Rd, I'm in and out of the Eagletails a lot.

    Courthouse Rd runs east and west.  It turns to Centennial Rd at Harquahala Valley Rd, right?  So yes, south and west of there.

    This is the closest guess so far, but nope.

    I won't keep people in suspense, this oddity is at 539th Ave and Eagletail Rd in the Harquahala Valley.  I found it while I was taking a different way back to the freeway after an outing in the Eagletail Wilderness.  I know nothing of the history of this item, but from the looks of it, it has been there for decades.  It is not in front of a building, like a restaurant, bar or house.  There are some letters on the concrete curb (lower left part of the photo).  Some are missing, but it looks like it used to say "Harquahala Ranch" (or maybe Ranches, plural).  Maybe the entrance to a long defunct housing development?  Who knows...I just thought it was kinda cool.

    If anyone knows or can find any history on this thing, post it up.


  5. Not any of those spots.  It is a pretty obscure location, but it has obviously been there along time so I thought someone here may have stumbled across it.  You guys are thinking too far south and east.  I'll give a bit more time before I spill the beans.
