Hi Jens
If you had taken your ride west on old Route 66 towards Williams it would have only been about a 1.5 mile hike to Spitz Hill W7A/CS-032 where that picture of the snow was taken. The elevation is 7710 feet at the summit. It was an expensive activation because I did not park far enough off Route 66 and received a $180 parking ticket for violation of the winter parking restrictions.

Every trip out with my 705 exposes it to the element here in Arizona. Most trips to the desert require a good blast of canned air to remove the large accumulation of dirt and dust from the radio, particularly the screen. This is followed up by a micro fiber cloth to finish cleaning the screen. It looks like new afterwards. The box does help protect it from the sharp rocks found on our desert summits,
