Gillespie Bridge and Dam

On this fine day south of Buckeye, AZ, April 2024, we took a ride through the Buckeye Hills to see Gillespie Bridge and Dam. The Dam was washed out in 1993 and never restored. Most of the Gila River gets diverted at this spot into the Gila Bend Canal. AZ ATV Riders, azatvriders.club/.

Been there several times, had a friend that lived there in 93. Big mess with the breach.
