Below is a link to a map showing State Road 73. A is where I turned on to SR73. B is Ophir and C is Simpson Springs Campground. I didn't go as far as the campground as I turned on the road that took me home. I only went about three miles into Ophir Canyon because the road was very icy and had more snow the further up I went. I was just me and two little dogs, cell service is spotty and it's a mile from a farm. I hope the links work for y'all. One positive is there were people out in the dessert 4 wheeling. Maybe someone will come across something. ETA: the snow you see has been like that for six weeks. So it would have been like that and snowing if Josh went out there. Bad conditions.

Below are the pics I took.
Pics looking out Southwest towards Simpson Springs. Susan could be anywhere out there.

The next pic is typical of the side roads off SR73. I was surprised to see the road to Ophir was plowed.

Wow.....Now I know why I moved to Southern AZ!! Sure don't miss that snow and ice (I lived on the east coast most my life).
I agree, she could be anywhere in that area. Very sad. I hate to say it, but the whole cemetary area gives me the creeps.
The only positive thing (that's not exactly positive) is that if she is just out there in the elements (not buried or hidden) the body will decompose more slowly, giving a chance to hopefully find some viable evidence.
