One of the great things about living here is the proximity of wilderness. One such area is Tonto National Forrest. Today Gillian and I went up a wash through the Forrest that we’d been up quite some time ago to find a cache. This time there were four waiting to be found. While getting the last of the four, a fellow drove by and confirmed that the wash would ultimately lead us out to a paved road that leads to Bartlett Reservoir, one of the major reservoirs that supply water to the area. And yes, after driving about 8 more miles we made it back to civilization! A splendid time was had by all on this gorgeous day while the rest of the Midwest and East freezes!
