Bartlett Lake on the RC51
I am so lucky to have time to make a run out to Bartlett Lake today. I got on the road around 3PM and made my way North on Pima Rd. The view is very nice once you start coming into the Cave Creek area. I should stop and take some pictures, but I was feeling great and the wind was cool. Good thing I didn’t stop, as it turns out,i forgot my camera. Ha! I’m such a retard. Good thing I can use my iPhone cam as a backup. Anyhow, I took Cave Creek Rd. as far as the asphalt lasted. As you make your way into Seven Springs, you’ll see a “pavement ends” sign and the asphalt ending shortly thereafter. After pulling off to the side of the road, I took a few minutes to relax and take in the visuals. The sky is clear and there is no one around as far as the eye can see.
After that, I backtracked to Bartlett Dam Rd. and started my way down to the lake. This is a very nice ride and well worth going, even if you are stuck in a car 
Here is a pic down by the boat launch…
The low fuel warning light popped on shortly before I made it down to the launch. There wasn’t much going on and since I was here the day before, I didn’t stick around too long. I made my way back to Cave Creek and had good fun gassing the RC through the turns and straights. Here’s a smoggy, crummy phone cam picture of the way back to Scottsdale…
If you live here or are visiting with access to a vehicle, it would be worth it to take a drive out to Bartlett, especially on a motorcycle!
