Croz and I ran out to Chivo falls today. Had to break the Virgina boy in on some Arizona rocks. Actualy I dropped off an 18 inch step and hung up on my sliders and frame. Croz had to help me out with a high lift and rock piling recovery. Oh well, all part of the fun of wheeling. :wings:

We had a great trip. Croz's 4Runner is a sweet rig. Here are few pics from our adventure.

It has been a few years since I ran that trail. I need to drive down and see my buddy Shotts anyways :)

Nice time of year for this trail. All the ice added to the impact of the desert falls. It was beautiful. :jumping:

I have lived here for 7 years and have yet to run that trail, I have heard it's a nice one to do. If anyone here does it again I hope to be able to go also.

Steve,

I have a lot going on over the next month or so but maybe early spring we can get together and do another run to the falls. :jumping:

At least next time I'll know which rock step to avoid driving over.:oops:

The rock steps are the best part guys!!

That trail is always in need of cleanup. I live near there and run it quite frequently and always haul out a lot of trash. Check out the Copper State Cruisers board on ih8mud. There is a tentative cleanup day of March 8th that Tucson Offroad is organizing and CSC is helping.

Thanks for the call Brad! You know what I did yesterday besides nothing?...

:oops: Sorry about that Alvin. :( I was fired up on getting Dave here from Virgina with his 4Runner that is set up like mine but on steroids and forgot about inviting my other local friends.

I owe you a cold one now for sure. :beer:

No problem, but a run with you to Chivo would be fun....I'll see what my schedule looks like for your planned Mar 8th clean up.

I look forward to both doing the Falls as well as cleaning up the trail. I usually run with a mesh bag on the rear of the Jeep and pick up as much trash as I can, also love getting the cans and especially the pop tops.
March 8 it is, Alvin we can discuss it next month..

Brad, thanks for your hospitality!

We had a fantastic day. Remember, if you ever want to donate that trailer ...I suppose I'd take it off your hands:jester:

I am loving this terrain out here. Brad is one lucky guy to be surrounded with such a great "backyard." I was really impressed, with the beautiful scenery and Brad's skills. He was makin it look easy all day!

Thanks again!!
