This trailhead is special in at least two ways: it is your first encounter with the Gila River that will accompany you for quite some time along the Arizona Trail. There is also a very nice service offered by Old Time Pizza that is based in Kearny, the most hikerfriendly town on Earth. Call +1 520-363-5523 and get a pizza delivered to the trailhead. What a great idea! I put of photo of the menu here.

Otherwise, it's also worth hitchhiking to Kearny. In addition to the pizzeria, there is a supermarket, a hotel and a laundry.

In addition to Bandit's comments above, Gary has also been known to pick up and ferry people to Kearny and back if you don't want to peddle the six miles into town. That being said, don't count on it as he may be busy, but it's a nice ride if you can get it.
