If it weren't for the long, dirt, wash boardy, cliff hanging, one lane bridges, blind corners, and the occasional "drifting" racer's, I'd be at that lake everytime I used the boat.
If you come threw rosy its only about 2-4 miles of dirt. Comming fish creek road is like 14 and that is the scary part. We usually cover the boat before we get to the dirt.

I call boo shit. All the gangs love it there
Its dusty there
We drove past TF and turned around when it turned to the dirt rd. I think she was covering her eyes in the backseat half the time.I've never been to Apache.
I live about 10 miles from Canyon, and have gone up there to check it out a few times, but my boat is so far from being water ready I've never been on the water.
Funny, my folks came out here last week for the first time from Ohio. (I've lived out here 3 yrs).
I learned that my Mother is capable of talking non-stop from the time she wakes up, until they would leave for the hotel in the evening. It was REALLY wearing on me and the wife.:grumble:
On their last day here, we decided to take them for a drive up rt88 up to Tortilla Flat
My Mother was terrified to silence the entire ride just driving up the winding tight two-lane rd with no guard rails to a couple thousand foot drop-off.
My Father was even freaked out by just the rds leading to my "doublewide", and he retired from being a professional truck driver for 30yrs just 2 yrs ago.
I think in his mind he was imagining trying to drive them in a semi with a 48' trailer.

You hadn't reached the bad part yet

Ha ha! Can't let a breakdown stop our fun! Back at the beginning of March, I was traveling to Apache with 3 kids, girlfriend, dog, and all our food, ice chests, etc. in the back of my truck, full load. It was about 10 at night and I was still on the pavement, where the road is real curvy and narrow. All of the sudden I felt a thump and my truck came to a halt. I was lucky because one of the very few pull offs was right in front of me, so I limped to the pull off and as soon as I was off the side of the road, my rear tire and wheel fell completely off. We got even luckier because we had cell phone service. Long story short - called my buddy who had just arrived at Apache, still an hour away - he came back for us. Called AAA and had truck towed into town to have wheel studs repaired. We got to the lake about 1 am and had a great weekend, got a ride back on Sunday to pickup and pay for truck repairs and head home.
