From the Valley to the Mountains

Thirty minutes after leaving the rental car center, we were heading north on AZ 87.  With 2.5 hours to the ranch, we stopped for lunch.  But of course.

Then back on the road north toward Payson... with some beautiful scenery along the way.

From Payson, we headed east.

And then south towards Young, with the first 20 miles in the Tonto National Forest.

After a vigorous 30 minute massage, back on pavement.

And then a left turn just before Young.   Primitive Road indeed.  

I bet this is fun after a few days of heavy rain.
