There should be another trip in the near future. Keep an eye on the group forum!!!

Welcome, there are a few of us here in Tucson that get out quite a bit. We post up runs mostly in the community forum section here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=44 Every Friday night we have a campfire in Cochie Canyon up in the Tortolita's. This is a great way to...

Thanks for the compliments everybody. We welcome anyone and everyone who would like to join us for these trips. Even if you can't make the day trips the Friday night campfire is a fun little getaway every Friday evening.

The next morning we slept in a bit and headed out to explore the areas to the northeast. Vehicles coming in on Willow Springs Rd. in the distance. Our first destination was a place called Tunnel Ranch. The ranch house is tucked up against a cliff and there is tunnel dug in to the face...

With the recent start of our Southern Arizona regional expo group in the community forum we decided to have a meet and greet weekend. Pau-hana(Alan) and I had decided on a spot north of Tucson where the 24hours in the Old Pueblo Mtn. bike race is held. This would be an easy to find base camp...

Coati are a hard one to photograph. I managed to get into a troop of them in the Chiracahua's and got some close up shots a couple of years ago. It was a pretty cool expereince. I was a little nervous too, I have heard some stories about troops ganging up on people.

Excellent trip report and amazing photos. I hope to make it to DV someday. What happened to all the tea kettles?

Great shots Brad. It looks like the deer and javelina were in Aravaipa Canyon, is that where you saw the bobcat also?

Just tell us when!:ylsmoke:

I would like to go back in there again and hike farther up the canyon. Maybe we can get up there in the next few weeks.

Not really any critters here in Southern Az that are seasonal but here are a couple we saw on our run this past weekend. Desert Tortoise Great Horned Owl

This was written on a gate post on the powerline road the runs west to east along the north end of the range. Near Rail-X ranch... My daughter Kiley enjoying herself and picking wild flowers. I think we should be allowed to shoot on site...j/k I remembered a neat little wash that I...

A few of us decided to get together this past Sunday and do a loop around the Tortolita Mountains just north of Tucson. You can drive from Marana to Catalina around the north end without touching pavement. The southern Foothills are builtup and no longer have access. We all had commented on...

Yes, we are going to do a loop around the Tortolitas and explore some roads that we have not yet explored on the north side.

Fantastic pics. I love the idea of summing up a years travels and adventures in to a single thread.

It was great meting you too. Hopefully you have more free time in the future, we get out quite a bit and would love to have you guys along.

Funny you should post a link to this add. This very Cruiser is the one the got me thinking and made me start this thread. When I saw it it was parked on the side of the road for sale marked at $11700. I spoke with the owner quite a bit about it. My biggest issue is that I have to buy a new...

I stand corrected. I guess I should have researched that a little more. Either way maybe I do need to look a a WJ. I definitely like the looks of them and the V8 is very enticing. Time to start looking around...thanks.

I have been seeing this 4runner at the Sparklett's water here in Tucson this last week all of the sudden. Is this still your truck or did you wind up selling it to someone here? Very, very nice truck by the way!:victory:

Very nice build so far. I need to double check my PML in the front. After lifting yours it looks like it sits a bit higher than mine. How much clearence between the topout bumpstop and UCA do you have after the PML?
