| Neat pics, Clay. I'll bet the kids loved it. And not just the kids cause it's pretty impressive to everybody. Thanks for the photos. Jerry

| You don't get to see so many animals up close like that very often. Looks like a neat place to visit. Too bad it wasn't a little closer for me. Thanks for sharing. Steve

| I am going to try to explore the Oak Creek Wildlife Area this summer. We when across Bethle Ridge last year but we did not have time to explore the area trails. |

| Anytime you want to do some exploring up that way, please let me know. Weekends OR weekdays. There are a bunch of roads up that way that need my footprint. We drove up the Bethel Ridge Road from just past the Elk Feeding gate to the top and continued west along the ridge to the towers, but I have never gone back the other direction toward The Nile. There is also a road that goes right through he feeding area that doesn't open until quite late because of elk migration. Jerry

| That sounds good Jerry. We head up Bethel Ridge Road and over to Nile Road on the 4th of July last year. Here was is the report: http://cegranch.com/all/2007-07/ridge-views.html |

 Last summer I made the journey from the Bethel Ridge to Rattlesnake via Oak Creek during my epic cross state drive. See http://www.pnwadventures.com/adventu...ay-two-081107/ I only made my way back to SR410. There were a lot more areas I didn't get a chance to explore. As in most of the state's wildlife areas, very little markings, green dot roads, and roads that have been decommissioned. A great time to work on your navigation skills. Steve
