| From Wagoner Road, Arizona an off road experience. |
Wagoner Road to Wagoner and beyond.
This was a drive down a washboard road that I had gone down b4. I got a surprise at about 3 miles the road was paved for ?? 5 to 10 miles, I had forgotten! Think I was on this more than a year ago.
Did not see anything of Wagoner then and even though I knew there was only one building left of Wagoner, I saw it not.
There are some interesting ranches along the way to say the least.
I crossed parts of washes, several which if it was raining would be extremely hazardous!
I went 22 miles to where Yavapai County no longer maintains it. As I recall the road? became a creek bed shortly after that.

On the prior trip, it was at that creek bed I became impressed with the guy driving ability to walk a 1 ton van through the creek bed.
It was a perilous journey of 90 or so miles to Prescott. It was #2 on the most difficult off roading I have been on.
When I was turning around, guy who I let pass b4 and had followed for quite a few miles was backing up. He walked over to the truck and said “have you been down this road?” I said “yes”. Are you turning around and I said yes. I gave him an idea of the perils ahead. Does this road go to Crown King? Ah yes. As I recall there is a tank with an arrow on it for your turn off.
It will be a heck of an experience. Is that a 4 X 4? Yes. Do you have GPS? No. A cell phone? Yes. (Thank God for small favors.) Now this is about 4:00 pm. He has along way to go.
He had his wife? with him and 3 young kids along. She was smiling all along. Off they went.
Well I hope they survive. Dark driving to Crown King, wow.
