Bull Springs Rd. - Southern AZ 07/28

[timh]

Ran Bull Springs Rd. this past weekend from Amado to Patagonia. Perfect run, not too hot and had tons of rain. I have never seen the desert greener in my life.

Ken broke his swaybar endlink and it swung down tearing the CV boot. Ended his day.

Rain in the valley

My dad in his K5

Stopped in Sonoita to air up, more ominous storms coming.

Beautiful scenery. Love that old Chevy in its element too, adds a bit of patina to the scenery!

Looks like the monsoon season is in full swing.

Oh it is, and it had been a great one so far. We have had single storms that produced 4" of rain/hour. Just this past weekend saw tons of road damage from flooding.

Is that a bee swarm? I was told that all of the bee's in Arizona have been Aficanized.

More info on the road? I am always looking for cool back roads to check out.

Looks like a great time.

the road runs from Amado to Patagonia. Its a bit rocky right now from storm damage but the road is easy in any stock 4x4. You will find the road off of the paved road to Mt. Hopkins.

Yes those are bee's. Biggest balled up cluster I have seen. And yes, I have also heard that all AZ bees are africanized now.
