Backcountry Scenic Drives: El Camino Del Diablo Trail

January 2nd, 2010

El Camino del Diablo, translated the Road of the Devil, is one of the longest and most remote 4-wheel adventures in Arizona. Escape all the holiday stress on this trail’s fun off-road obstacles, centuries of history, and spectacular desert scenery. Popularly called The Devil’s Highway, this trail requires a minimum of two days to travel, more if you plan to explore other good trails nearby.

First used by Indians and as early as the 1500s by Spanish missionaries, this route got its well-deserved reputation as the most deadly of immigrant roads during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Gold-seekers crossing the Sonoran Deserts lost their way when shifting sand obliterated the trail. Travelers died of thirst and heat exposure. The exact numbers of deaths along this trail are unknown. Anywhere from 400 to 2,000 might be buried in unmarked graves along the road, it is commonly believed. Approximately 50 known graves exist near the road, but only a handful have markers.

More recently the trail became known as “The Smugglers Trail” when liquor smugglers used this route during the prohibition days. In 1853-54, surveyors formalizing the Mexico and American border populated the area. Gold rushers flooded the route again in the1860s. Traffic diminished when the railroad reached Yuma in 1870.

The trail today begins in the town of Wellton, off Interstate 8, 25 miles east of Yuma. Top off your gas tank before leaving town. Three distinct sections of the road travel through the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and the Organ Pipe National Monument. The journey ends in Ajo, one a bustling copper mining town.

Leaving Wellton, the trail is an easygoing, wide, graded road through most of the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. Currently this 2 million acre range is public land leased to the military. In 1941, the Air Force trained World War II fighter pilots in air-to-air and air-to-ground exercises. Training of Air Force pilots and Marines continues on the range today. Some sections through the range can twist and turn and be brushy for wider vehicles.

After 31 miles, the route enters Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. Here are some of the most difficult, scenic, and interesting sections of the route. Sharp eyes will spot a huge array of wildlife here as well. This section is a narrow single track winding through the Cabeza Prieta Mountains. Brushy sections make scratches likely. Lower tire pressure is necessary through deep sand and you will chew through fuel in these spots. A few rocky sections also make going rough. Photo-ops are endless through the trail within the refuge. The light-colored granite mountains, winding trail, saguaros and ocotillos with their brilliant flags of flowers color the landscape.

The 5-mile crossing of the Pinacate Lava Flow is the roughest section of the trail. This black cinder-covered landscape is not difficult to negotiate. It is extremely bumpy and slow going. Pinta Sands are the soft sand dunes that surround the lava flow. Las Playas (the beaches), to the east of Pinta Sands, is an area of deep, fine sand. In wet weather this area is impassable. This part is also the brushiest of the whole trail. Light scratches are inevitable for all vehicles.

The final section of the trail crosses the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. There is an old homestead at Bates Well. The old buildings, cabins, and corrals are fun to explore. Past this point, the road is roughly graded and suitable for 2WD vehicles. The National Monument protects the Organ Pipe Cactus, the second largest cactus in the United States.

Traveling the Devil’s Highway, or El Camino del Diablo Trail, requires advanced preparation. This unforgettable trip is easy to plan and navigate on the trail using the useful Backcountry Adventures: Arizona guidebook. Permits are required to drive sections of this road. The guide’s trail description provides the contact agencies and permit information to get you quickly on your way. It also addresses other special considerations resulting from the remoteness of this trail. For instance, traveling in a group is an advantage. Vehicles can share water, food, gas, and other supplies. Groups are also less likely approached by illegal border crossers.

Diablo 2 – Mf Bosses and Areas Guide

January 2nd, 2010

Act1:

Pits -
The Pits, located in the Tamoe Highlands are most easily accessed by travelling down from the Outer Cloister WP and follwing the path until it forks, if you don’t use MH then i would advise the right track. The Pits can technically drop any item other than torches-annis-uber keys and organs-standard of heroes-tamoe highlands. Some of the better drops are Windforce, High Runes and uniques like Griffons. However, they are mostly run for socketables like 15//15 armours, eth armours for bugging and open socket Berserker Axes etc… Full of pack uniques monsters. Any character will succeed basically.

Countess -
The Countess is located in the 5th level of the Forgotten Tower and is surrounded by dark archers and Ghotsts. She herself is very rarely light immune so Light Sorcs are good/ The Countess can drop Terror Keys (up to three at once) and is TT66 in Hell, she also has her own unique rune drop which can go as high as Ist, and as high as Lo on her normal drop list. She is easy to run and is good for making cash at the start of ladders.

Andariel -
Andariel is loacted in the 4th level of the Catacombs and has a Tc level of TT69. She is well known for her jewelery drops and I get my fair share of charms from her and gems from her minions, Shakos and War Travellers are also not a rare sight. Andariel has a reduction in fire resist so fire sorcs are a good option here, orb sorcs also work well and they rip through most of the minions, my personal favourite however is the light sorc once more.

Act2:

The Summoner -
The Summoner is located down one of the 4 ledges leading off from the Arcane Sanctuary WP, the ledge is chosen at random. Although the summoner rarely drops any actual good items he drops Hate keys (up to 3) and i’ve had a bunch of rare rings//amulets and an eth armour. The summoner is sometimes cold immune so a Light sorc is a great option here.

Act3:

Travincal -
Travincal is well known for it’s HRs, gems, gold and rare items. I’ve also in my time and found a fair few unique amulets//rings 2 of which were soj and 1 was maras. They are however annoying to kill and i would advise running them only if you have a Hammerdin or a good sorc like light with infinity or for immunes.

Mephisto -
Mephisto is a great runner, drops are frequent and she is known for drops such as Zakarum, Shako, War Travellers, Gores, Wizzy and Arachs. Dont miss the council here, there easier then Travincal and they once dropped me homu + occy in one run. Mephisto is located in level 3 of the Durance just beside a river of burning lava and a red portal. Orb sorcs are good here. Watch out for the ball thing wink.gif

Act4:

Chaos Sanctuary -
Diablo himself is not the main part here, it’s his minions… they have the ability to drop good items such as Dracs and other uniques. I’ve heard of many Vex’s etc being dropped although I myself have only found Mal, on Open tongue.gif Diablo himself can drop good items ofc and his GCs can be sold or cubed for 45 lifer skillers. Hammedins and trapsins are best here. Chaos is found along the Flaming River

Act5:

Pindleskin -
Pindle is like an Alvl85 area except Tyreals//Arach and i think one more item (confirmation of this item would be great). Pindleskin can be found through the red portal opened up by Anya, i would do Nili and just tele back to do Pindle. Some good drops from Pindle are Griffons, Crown of Ages and Deaths Fathom. Fire sorcs are good here if you have a good merc.

Frigid -
Frigid has Eldritch and Shenk, both of which are good for random uniques like Dracs, Silks and low set items. There main asset however is the amount of rares they drop. Most characters can run Frigid but Eldritch and his minions are cold immune.

Nilithak -
Nilithak is down one of the 4 sprouts of the Halls of Vaught, accessed through the Halls of Pain, tele back from here to the Halls of Anguish to do Pindleskin. Nili can drop Destruction keys but be careful as his corpse explosion is violent. Just aim for him and kill him before he kills you, with natures peace you should be ok. His GCs are also good for cubing to get 45 lifers. Hammys are good for the easy tele on and kill, my Tal Light Sorc can run him though.

Baal -
Baal is amazing, any item can drop from Baal except the same as the Pits. Getting to him is easy, simply tele to the Throne of Destruction and kill his minions, he’ll disspear. Follow him. The experience is good, just make sure you can kill them.
