Today we have a full day of driving to Albuquerque which is about 7 hours away from Phoenix. We plan to break up the drive by a few small stops and the first one is at Bloody Basin Road. We drive a bit towards Crown King and then it is time to explore and find caches.


We hike along the powerline road for about 1/2 mile for some good views and finding caches and quite a bit of trash, unfortunately.


There is a nice riparian area on the way and we hike a bit through it exploring and then it is time to return to the car, we still have a long drive ahead of us.


Our initial plan calls for a stop near Flagstaff however there is snow everywhere and most dirt roads are closed so we take a few pictures and then continue on I40 towards Albuquerque with the next stop being the abandoned Two Guns zoo ruins.
