Great day on the trail and a new road for me. Enjoyable!
Our faithful Overland JK was the steed for the day, though I wish we had brought the J8. The trail had no real brush to speak of.
The Offroad Passport Grand Cherokee. Fun machine
Nice Tacoma
Another Tacoma, 2005+
Paul and his Rubicon. Thanks for the Elk jerky and salami!!!
The group with Todd's Bronco in the background.
Mark's Power Wagon conquering the "crux" obstacle. Thanks for the great leadership and fun trail!
Martin from Overland Live had taken the wheel and proved to be a smooth and capable pilot
Great lineup of vehicles. I always enjoy the mix we see on these trips.
Todd's sweet Bronco. Martin drove it later in the day and had the same smirk at Todd in the picture. Something about a V8. . .
The big SMB taking on the sluice
Climbing up towards CK. This is also a great big moto route.

So jealous! Burried in snow in VT. Beautiful day trip and what a fantastic variety of vehicles.
Thanks Mark for organizing such a wonderful trip. All the boys and I had a wonderful time exploring and learning a bit of AZ history. After 13 hours on the road I returned to Mesa with a JK full of exhausted, yet happy boys. We truly enjoyed the day because of the great scenery and fantastic company.

Wow! Great photos!
Thanks to all that came out - as usual we had a great group of people along for the day. What a great mixed group! That's one of the reasons I post trip here - it's fun to see all the different types of rigs out together.
And it was really great to see the next generation of adventurer's out. Lots of kids along, and as far as I could tell they all had a good time.
Special thanks to Todd and Robin for bringing up the tail. I seem to always stick Todd in the back, but it's great to have a reliable rig with a good driver back there.
Lance I'm bummed to here the WAVE is being sold. You've done a stunning job as an ambassador for our hobby, and I know the people you've touched with it will never forget it.
I wasn't going to go thru the slot, but after watching Scott make it easy with his spotting, we slid by with no problems. Thanks for the spot buddy!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say how impressed I was (from an outsider looking in)...
Not once did I notice anyone making new tracks or attempting to venture off the track. The 'tread lightly' concept was taken seriously.
And unlike other trips I have been on, I felt the emphasis was on seeing new places rather than driving a 4wd. The vehicle simply enabled us to explore. That was great to see.
That's a real credit to everyone who turned up today.
Thanks again for making it a pleasurable day out and not a redneck rampage (I hope that's a term used here!)
