From Wikipedia on Tortilla Flat...
Tortilla Flat is a small unincorporated community in far eastern Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is located in the central part of the state, northeast of Apache Junction. It is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. According to the Gross Management Department of Arizona's main U.S. Post Office in Phoenix, Tortilla Flat is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official community having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct. The town has a population of 6. Tortilla Flat can be reached by vehicles on State Route 88, via Apache Junction.
Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid-to-late 19th century, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. From this time (1904) on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (less than 100 people) but continuous population. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town in 1998. The town is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.

Overflowing Wash at Tortilla Flats, AZ
After mountain storms we get good runoff at Tortilla Flats. We rode out bikes through on our way to EOP (End Of Pavement). On the way back, I paused for some video and pictures. The ride (or drive) to Canyon Lake and Tortilla Flats is one of the most beautiful rides in the valley of Phoenix, Arizona.
Tortilla Creek (aka Tortilla Flats Wash) will overflow like this during spring runoff and also after big snow storms, rains, and monsoons.

Video RideAlong: Apache Trail past Tortilla Flat Part 1: on the way up
From Lost Dutchman (Brown road) and Apache Trail (SR88) to the end of the pavement 8 miles past Tortilla Flat
If you are short on patience, I suggest watching part 2 (coming back down). It gets twisty right away and the scenery is nicer IMO.
Shot with a G12 so audio is pretty noisy. Turn the volume down and put a good record on.

Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat Arizona State Route 88
Apache Trail to Tortilla Flat Arizona State Route 88. One of the best roads in Arizona to drive your car on especially if it's a Porsche is State Route 88. SR88 starts out on Idaho Rd in Apache Junction, and snakes it's way past Tortilla Flat, Canyon Lake and then to a dirt road which leads to Rosevelt Lake.
When I want to feel how life would have been back in the late 1960's here in Arizona, I will bring out my classic 1967 Porsche 912 with it's 2.0 liter Type 4 air cooled motor (which came from a 1976 Porsche 912E) with dual Weber carbs. The windows down, the sound of that air cooled motor, the view out the windows, and the feeling thru the racing H 5 speed, and wooden steering wheel, takes me back to a much simpler time in life.

It is so hard to judge where the quad is with respect to other things in the area. I wonder how hard it would be to judge distances with FPV.
