Monday (12-08) I found 5 jeepers who wanted to hit the trail. We found Pyeatte Draw in Payson and had a great time. Temp was about 36 degrees when we hit the trail and warmed up to about 60 dregrees. The creek is dry with some light snow in the shaded areas. We also found a trail, which I think the trail number was 1563. This trail is located just past the cattle guard on Pyeatte Draw Road (NF 198). Make a quick right and you will see a lamp sitting on a rock at the trail entrance. This trail heads up the mountain and cuts to the East and then comes back down about two miles East from Pyeatte Draw. The road is very rocky but fun.

Thanks again to "Skatchkins" for informing me how to get there. The directions were Perfect.... Thanks...

Any Pics?

5 of us out jeeping and not one of us brings a camera!!

Then it didn't happen. }:)

Sounds like a good time. I know many of this crew have gone out to PDraw, but I've never made it. Still really want to go!

Alanzona... I'll keep you on my list for our next run. I didn't post the last run because we didn't know if we were going to go until Sunday Afternoon. We talked about it for two weeks. Thee old, yes I can go, oh no I can't go, well maybe, let me know when your going. It became time to put up or shut up and on Sunday Afternoon, 5 of us said, LET"S GO !!!

We all live in the NorthWest Valley Area, so we went up I-17 to Camp Verde and cut over and then down to Payson instead of the Fountain Hills Route. Seems to be about the same drive time. I didn't want to post the run as a leader and then come back and say NEVER MIND!!!! Later -- DougE
