Pine Donkey Report post Posted September 4, 2016 Friday I took my daughter to a doctor appointment in Scottsdale then headed toward the mountains through Payson...never again. You valley people are crazy! I know that's where the money is, but what is the cost to you psychi to earn that money? You must really like being around people to live there day in and day out. The other realization I came to on Friday is that the people of Payson, Heber, Show Low and Pinetop are under siege on these big weekends! I am thankful for those town as they provide a nice "Phoenix filter" for Eagar, Nutrioso and Alpine areas. As big cities go, Phoenix is a nice one. I do enjoy an occasional weekend visit there during the winter months, but after a couple days I am ready to return to two-lane highways and gravel-road neighborhoods. Hope everyone has safe travels as you head home tomorrow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertBull Report post Posted September 4, 2016 Lately this seems to be a weekly event somewhere along the 17. A fire, multi vehicle wreck, wreck with a death something closes it down. Seems to be very little DPS patrols and far too many fools driving excessively fast. Someday it will be made safer. Until then good luck to all of us The Black Canyon 500 is a joke. A testosterone fueled ego race to the bottom. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 6, 2016 I was coasting in neutral to a stoplight. makes sense. I can say I'm ok with that sorta. I've seen two people killed with texting and driving/ phone and driving. Both I thought were drunk by the way they drove but when they wrecked in front of me and I stopped it was clear they were on their phone. Ever see half a phone stuck inside a young girls head? I wish I could un see it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
