All, Good news. The ranger called me this morning and I told him where & when we were planning to go. I explained the sign we found and that we were making sure we would be in compliance with all rule & ordinances. He advised that he see's no problem with the location we'd be using. He indicated what Andrew had thought, that the road closed sign is for a path leading to hackberry wash that is not an official road. He said we would be fine bringing our cars on into the pasture as well. I invite him to visit us. We'll see if he comes. His last words to me were "Have fun" Now, here's hoping Meteora didn't overhear the conversation….:) Clear Skies Rick ---- Rick Tejera <saguaroastro@xxxxxxx> wrote: > All, > > I just made a call up to the Verde Valley District Ranger station.
