AES O'HACO PROJECT UPDATE!

[rthrbhntng]

This weekend is our Water Tank Project on the O'Haco ranch. There is a possibility that the 300rd will not be open. PLEASE READ THE NOTICE BELOW!

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Please note the Forest Service Road #300 north from Woods Canyon lake may still be closed This Friday April 13 due to a lingering snow drift. It is actually scheduled to be open on Friday AM, but please call Black Mesa Ranger Station before heading that way on Friday Morning at 928-535-7300. In fact please call The ranger district regardless to make sure you are comfortable with the route you are going to take.

 

There are 2 alternative Routes:

 

#1) From just west of Heber take Forest Road 504 north all the way (23-24 miles) to paved Highway 99 also known as Forest Road 34. Go left (south) on FS #34 (Hwy. 99) for 4 to 5 miles to the north edge of the Sitgreaves National Forest Boundary and take a right (west) on Forest Road #23. And continue west then north on FS #23 (3 miles) to FS #63 as noted on the original directions. There will be signs starting at Forest Road #23 on Friday Afternoon 4/13. This is the shortest route but you will have 23-24 miles of dirt road along the way similar to the original route.

 

#2) Take Highway 87 north out of Strawberry all the way to almost Winslow and turn right on Highway 99 (South) 25+- miles south to the north boundary of the Sitgreaves National Forest. Then take an immediate right (west) on Forest Road #23. Head west on road #23 and follow the signs and directions given above. This route is farther but is mostly paved and may be better suited for large RV's rigs.

 

Sorry about any added travel time but we want to make sure you get there safe and sound. Please check the website for any added comments before you head out. Thanks, Steve Clark, 602-885-0835.

 

We will be arriving at camp on Fri. early afternoon to set up. See you there!

For those that are driving to the Arizona Elk Society O’Haco Work Project.

We will be loading up and driving up in the morning and will be putting up some signs and marking tape on the roads going in. John Toner was there today and the 300 ROAD is OPEN and the 34 ROAD WAS OPEN. SO we are taking the 300 rd from the turn off at the top of the rim like you are turning to Woods Canyon Lake.

It will be cold and possible rain so bring warm clothes and rain gear.

 

Some directions have changed:

Take the 300 RD to the 34 RD and TURN RIGHT

On the 34 RD you will come to an area where the pavement starts.

Go about 3 miles on the pavement then watch for FR 63, TURN LEFT.

Go about 7 miles to FR 63A and TURN LEFT.

The last two miles on FR63 to the camp area are pretty rough.

TAKE IT SLOW.

Watch for a sign on the road and go through the gate about ¼ mi to camp.

 

I am not sure there will be cell service but if it works my number is 602-885-0835

 

Thanks

Steve
