| Agua Fria National Monument, Arizona |
Our objective was Agua Fria River via Agua Fria National
Monument. I had been there before and took some pictures
of the entrance sign and info stand.
The BLM Road 269? had it’s moments of nice, moments of
ruts, moments of rock outcroppings, as well as some big
rocks that need to be navigated around, over. I drove
on and off straddling the ruts. Not much water in the
fording areas, even though we had rain 3 days in a row
prior.
We went until the gas was looking marginal. I have not
gotten a buffer gas can yet. So at ~18 miles out we
turned around. Where this picture was taken.

The little black gnats were overwhelming when we stopped.
The road? is one where concentration, focus is mandatory.
I don’t know that you could say experience was necessary,
but it surely would help. I saw only a couple of
experienced drivers of all vehicles out there. I saw no
place were a passenger car could not go, but you had
better know what you were doing with one.
My little Nissan 2wd pickup made it just fine.
