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
