AZLRO Rally 2010: Trail pre-run Temporal Gulch near Patagonia, Arizona


By:  Izabella

Two Discoveries went on this trip to check out trail conditions before the rally.

Divas on this trip:  Samantha, Izabella, Sophia and Sydney
                                       A quick  Diva lunch break
                  Samantha and I enjoying some cold fried chicken .                 


Sydney and Sophia had fun climbing In and out of  
Samantha’s roof top  tent.

               



After lunch Samantha and I decided to explore the area and play in the cold water.                                      
 
We are on the road again!! (sort of anyway)
             Samantha and Sophia’s Disco (Sally) avoiding a deep spot!!  
    
    
Possible lunch site for the rally next week!
This is the small canyon behind the lunch site.   It is a great place to play.                  
      
Here we also saw a pair of real working cowboys.
 
This is the entrance of the second mine we came to.  They mined copper here.   Copper is Arizona's main mineral. 
   
On the inside we found Chrysocolla  on the walls.  Chrysocolla looks alot like turquoise.  We picked up a few pretty pieces.  It is found wherever there is copper.
       
           
   
This is one of the small,  but very pretty waterfalls we saw.  We had a lot of rain this year in Arizona.  Most canyons had waterfalls, this was one of them.  We also counted 25 water crossings this trip.
                                 The End!!!

  5. Love your blog! I'll check back often. We're near Tucson, too (about 45 miles southwest, by the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge). Maybe we'll bump into you on the trail sometime. Although right now I drive a 1984 diesel Land Cruiser, we're rebuilding a 1972 Series II Land Rover. I love Dormobiles, too.
