60 Gallons of the Arizona Strip

By this title, my plan was to outfit my jeep with 60 gallons of gas in Mesquite and head south toward the vistas of the Grand Canyon's North Rim, including Twin Point, Kelly Point, Whitmore Canyon, SB Point, Tourweap, and see how far 60 gallons would take me.

Here is a photo of my rig as it was when I left Mesquite, April 18th, 2017:

Here is a link to the prerun day and Day 1 of this scouting expedition.

Stay tuned.

Bruce, I am in awe of such a great trip and done by yourself. You get accolades for trying and even more for completing. If this becomes a lead by you trip I'd love to attend with appropriate time for me to plan and outfit!!!

Hello everybody,

I had to move the trip report for Day 4 to a different folder after posting. Some folks are complaining that the links aren't wording.

This new folder has Day 4 and all my prior reports. Here's the link to that folder.

I will put all the rest of my trip reports in this folder and will announce them as they are completed.

If anyone is having trouble with the links please email me at bruceboogaard@gmaildotcom.

Nice write up, I just got back from the same area. Spent Tuesday night (4/25) at whitemore point. I wonder if your day 5 report will involve a helicopter. :sombrero:

Well, we didn't see the plane, but we did watch the Chopper ferry rafters from the canyon. Chopper did at least 5 trips to/from the ranch. Fun to watch.
The chopper arrived a few minutes after 9 am. Don't know if they fly in everyday, but if you are at the point, it may be worth it to stay long enough to see if the chopper will show. We were just about to leave when we heard it coming.
