We are having a little trouble with the photos this time because I put them on a disc and deleted them from the camera stick, so Dick has had to learn how to get to them in a new way .

Some comments to the blog have been that not everyone knows Arizona geography well enough to know where some of the places are that we have talked about in the blog . Thank you; a good point .

We started our trip at Parker Canyon Lake which is at the NW base of the Huachuca Mts. Sierra Vista ,on the Mexican border and in the eastern part of the state, would be the nearest town .

The two Canelo Hills passages go NW to the town of Patagonia .

From Patagonia we went over a SE shoulder of the Santa Rita Mts which are N of Patagonia .

We angled NE to a point on Highway 83 about halfway between the town of Sonoita and I-10.

Next, we started at Sahuarita Rd which is approximately 2 miles S of I-10 on Highway 83. We rode NNE, crossing under I-10 approximately 23 miles E of Tucson.

Then it was through Collosal Cave State Park and Sahuaro National Park East, east of Tucson.

We went over the Rincon Mts, east of Tucson, and across Reddington Pass which is the pass between the Rincon Mts and the Santa Catalina Mts

Prison Camp is on the Mt. Lemmon Highway, which is on the S side of the Santa Catalina Mts. The Santa Catalina Mts. (the Catalina's) are N of Tucson .

Oracle and American Flag Ranch Trailhead are at the N base of the Catalina's .

Now we will be riding to the Gila River; crossing at the very small community of Kelvin, a few miles downriver from the town of Kearny. These two towns are S of Superior which is E of Mesa/ Apache Junction .
