Overlanding Arizona: Apache Lake to The Salt River

[@Richie_Rips]

That fart was legendary!!!

[@PineStateOverland]

At least someone appreciated it!

[@janetmartin8596]

Thanks for the sharing your experience in AZ. FYI this is actually considered central AZ.

[@PineStateOverland]

Of course! Thanks for the feedback! This was my first trip in AZ since moving there.

The Woodbury fire was in 2019, not 2009. Loved that trail when I moved here and was sad when the rockslide happened. I have heard it's going to be fixed though. The end is from Roosevelt lake is being flattened and smoothed

[@PineStateOverland]

Thanks for the correction! I've heard rumors of it being fixed too! Fingers crossed!

[@gmsimanson]

I have been camping at Apache Lake for many years and a while back I saw that mountain profile and thought it was Jay Leno because of the big chin...

[@PineStateOverland]

That's hilarious! The "Sleeping Leno" 🤣

[@makalapuamegs1056]

That was the area I was lost in trying to get to Bulldog Canyon because of the road being out. Good video! On my way back to Kansas now having been on the road a year and 11 days. Love overlanding!

[@AngelHouseman]

Wow bro video quality is insane! 🔥🔥🔥

[@PineStateOverland]

Thanks! 🔥

[@mikesharpe4681]

Great video Zack. Best one yet. I loved how you changed the camera view a lot and kept things moving. Music and drone shots were great as well. Also enjoyed the commentary on the different types of equipment and gear you use and why. Well done to you both. Cheers.

[@PineStateOverland]

Thanks Uncle Mike! Cant wait to make our way to TN and catch up!

[@sqeekms6186]

You never told me you had a KZbin channel.👍

[@AZOverland2017]

Great trip. Love the pups

[@PineStateOverland]

Thank you! They love going on adventures for sure.

[@OverlandGarage]

Great video love the places you get to see a little jealous gotta say can't wait to see you guys again soon

[@PineStateOverland]

We miss you guys too. Keep those vids coming!

[@OverlandGarage]

@@PineStateOverland I will it's been tough but gotta get out there and get ir done

[@outbackwack368]

Just found your channel. Great job! Not sure where in Maine you call home, but we moved to Phoenix from Topsfield on the north shore when we retired in 2017. The last time I did the Apache Trail it was almost total washboard and ruined the ride. Fires decimated the area and they had to regrade it in sections. Those blackbirds are great-tailed grackles and are very vocal. The ducks were American coots. Yeah, the Arizona sun destroys everything, which is why we're moving to Tennessee next year... so the rain can ruin everything 🙂 Thanks for the Wish You Were Here and safe travels!

[@PineStateOverland]

Harpswell is home back in Maine. Thank you so much for the kind words and information. The trail seemed okay when we went down it. They were actively working to repair power lines and such off the roadway so maybe they graded it for that. Other than waking up early to the grackles, this was a great trip. Tennessee is beautiful, you'll love it. The eastern side of the state reminds me a lot of Maine. Safe travels and thanks for watching!!

[@fito267able]

There is some monster cats in there especialy where your at with blue gills or anchovy,and a heads up dont park to close to the river they release water upstream without warning ive had to move my tent at 3am due to them releasing water it was up to the wheels on my truck

[@PineStateOverland]

No way! Good to know, thank you! I heard they also just reopened Rt 88 that was previously closed. Looking forward to checking that side out.

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

Glad to see your both on the road! We will be back at Umbagog early July!

[@del_taco___]

Sick drone shots. Which one you got?

[@PineStateOverland]

Thank you! I've got the DJI Mavic 2 Pro

[@InGratitudeIam]

I just found your channel, Zack. Impressive! Does your 4Runner know you drive a Ford? :)

[@PineStateOverland]

Hahaha DROVE a Ford. Now back in another 4Runner ;)

[@sar4x474]

Nice content. I pressed the follow button. Cheers!

[@PineStateOverland]

Thank you so much!!

[@eprohoda]

yoou created perfect .see you on my side-;)

[@alexalvarez9462]

Just came across your channel. Great content man. Happen to have coordinates for that spot by the water?

[@PineStateOverland]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. I don't have those exact coordinates. I typically find sites by looking at google maps in satellite view and following dirt trails down to the river. That's how we found this one.

[@ShadeAstray]

Hey! I was at the dam about a month ago and was parked where you were in the beginning of the video and didn't go any further. I'm going back this week and I own a Mustang. Do you think I'd be able to make it in the mustang down that dirt path at all? Kind of a weird question lol but I've been looking into getting a truck so I can go overlanding soon! Thank you!

[@PineStateOverland]

Hey man! Thanks for watching. I've seen some small cars at the end of the road. You should be okay, just go slow and steady. The washboard was the worst of it. Can't say you won't bottom out a time or two.

[@gixxer1359]

Is there a name for this campsite you stayed at. Awesome video , place looks amazing.

[@PineStateOverland]

There's no real name for it. But if you follow the road down to where the resort is, there is a second road to your left. Take that left and it'll bring you straight to the waters edge. First come first serve but we've often found it to be pretty empty.

[@Sanjuk0522]

what time of the year did you go? Do you have the location where you camped at 15:27

[@PineStateOverland]

I was so new to the area at the time I can't remember what this place was called. It was along the Verde River if that helps at all. We went there early summer, I want to say June timeframe.

[@mikesharpe4681]

Where’s the camper?

[@PineStateOverland]

Getting repaired in Mesa AZ. We just went out for the weekend. Back in it now.

[@WillMcSpadden]

That’s not southern Arizona 😂😂😂

[@PineStateOverland]

Haha you're not wrong. This was one of my first trips in Arizona, so was definitely getting used to what was what and the native lingo.
