Default Offroading/mud spots near Phoenix, east valley?

I need to take my brother in law for a quick mudding trip. Anybody know any trails near gilbert/Mesa that could provide some afternoon fun after this heavy rain this week?

You can go to four peaks, there might even be some snow on the mountains too! Or the sycamore creek area on the opposite side of the highway at the bush highway off ramp.

Thx lbd. We headed south of there between Florence junction and Florence. Found many trails to the east and west of hwy 79. Even found a decent little mud spot that was fun for about 30 minutes.

Here's a short vid of my brother in law going through a somewhat dry rutted mud spot in 2wd. My dak had about the same success as his Colorado.
