Here's a link to some images of the "Ranch House" near the site I've been
talking about, also one of the ranch house from the nearby Apache Maid Mountain
Lookout tower, about 1.2 miles west of the site. That image clearly shows the
southern half large meadow to the west.

The road is very wide and passable several of the family members take mini vans
back to the ranch without second thought. The ranch as you call it (and it
used to be) is not abandoned and there are houses / cabins there. To the south
of apache maid mountain is a large open range which might work well if I-17 is
not a factor.
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

All,
At the meeting Friday, I mentioned a possible location I recalled while on a
geocaching trip. The spot is near an abandoned ranch house called T-Bar Ranch,
just east of Apache Maid Mountain. The ranch house itself is an archeological
site, but there is a large meadow to its west. The site appears to be easily
accessible from I-17 off the Stoneman Lake Road exit (about 10 miles). The
Coordinates of the meadow are: N34 43.775 W111 31.900.
Google maps shows the ranch house just to the South east, the road to the site
passes it. The meadow is fairly large, extending up to a spot on the map called
Sue's tank.
I've made a few pdf's of the Garmin topo maps, One a route map from I-17, the
other a close up of the site. I'll send them to al who have responded to the
thread and anyone else who wants one (let me know off list).
It May well be worth a recon trip, I'd certainly be willing to go up and take a
looksee.

Phil;
I am planning on going to the ranger station to get some answers on Monday.
The sketchy info that Don spoke at the meeting was that we could not go out
onto the meadow at all. I do not know if that rule has been in place always or
if it is a brand new rule.
I promise to let you know;
Steve Coe
