Anyone been out in the Waterman Mountains, West of Tucson?
I went out there today to do a little prospecting for rock crawling trails. It's mostly BLM land which means existing roads and trails are open for vehicles unless posted otherwise. There's active mining around there, but there used to be lots more. I was hoping to find some neglected mining access trails or roads that would offer a challenge. I didn't find much of that, but the area is really cool for just driving around exploring. I drove and walked around for about 5 hours and only double back a couple times.
I came across a bunch of mine shafts, many vertical and DEEP. There's some mining junk on some of this hillsides that I want to go back and check out.
There is also a lot of trash from illegals out there too, so there's that...
I would rate the roads 3 for the most part with a few sections of 3.5. I would NOT go out there without a map and lots of water.
