And to continue the story... I had noticed on the map we might get to do some water crossings but had kept that info to myself in case I was wrong or it wasn't much of anything. Well it was cool and Waymon gave a little Woop over the radio when he saw the coolness of it all. Now of course...

Hey Larry I am really enjoying watching what you are up to with this rig.. I just wish I had the space & parts pile you do, very nice.

Jeff, didn't know about the Cabin...but we did spot another kind of dwelling of which I will write soon :) But at least I have another excuse to go back. Phx...I agree about the Aboretum and really want to take the family back, easy to support a place like that. Oh and I can believe they have...

Now I am a native Texan and we have some hardy forms of life out that way. Even our cattle sport a serious set of attitude adjusters (google Texas Longhorn if you aren't sure what I am referring to), but I will never tire of seeing how desert life will find a way to get by. I noticed this...

Now I like to joke a bit when off road but sometimes you see something like these crosses that remind you just how dangerous our hobby can be. These things had some little steel hunters and elk on them. I am not sure if that meant the elk won that round, the road beat them or what caused their...

Hey Lost...I would be a LONG day trip...as in leave 7-8am and get back that late or worse. Much would depend on time of year and if the water was running higher than we had. But directions are easy... Take US 60 east (it connects to I-10, very easy to spot on a map). Go through Superior, through...

Well I couldn't resist getting a few more pics posted to this report... After Waymon & I wrote out our own little permit & paid our fees to the drop box we aired down and hit some dirt. Well for a about 100yds or so :) But that short distance would set the tone for why we called this the Shelf...

There is a very cool bridge and an even cooler rest stop that is sadly closed. The stop itself has a little bridge and I wish I had captured a picture of it. Oh well just a good excuse to go back. There is also an abandoned old gas stop with some real or maybe fake/old buildings. Looks like a...

But alas we did need to get back on the road and see what way ahead. But at least when we go to Miami (Arizona version with no beaches or babes) we got to hop out for a quick stop to put together some old iron, newer iron and BIG iron. Needless to say there is some serious mine operations in...

Well with a bit of time between Christmas & New Years the need to play in the dirt was strongly felt. The real question was where to go? Southeast Arizona has a ton of ghost towns and history (Tombstone, Bisbee and more). Western Arizona held some areas I had recently played and want to see more...

Mark thanks for posting this... I was just thinking of heading over to Ham Radio Outlet and asking if there is any sort of old school whip setup like the 70's cb's. I figure with my old suburban I can get away with a chrome bar & spring if it will save me on all the bent antennas I have paid...

Huge thanks on the air cleaner info and I want to do something about that very soon. On the tires I wanted tall & skinny, 255/85/16's and Discount Tire by my house was willing to do a web price match of $180ea and since that size only comes in a BFG M/T (easy to find that is) then that is what...

Plenty more little stuff to come plus an epic story of breakdown & repair that consumed 24 long hours in Yuma :) But for now I thought you guys would get a kick out of my new plate that honors my son who is almost completed his Eagle Scout rank and Chevy's safety mindset in 1970 And I added...

great write up & pics... all that clear water and some of can kill you...amazing. Also good to know you didn't suffer any burns/damage from the misstep. Thanks for posting this and your other adventures, checking out plane crash sites is not something I would have thought of but it looks like...

I am currently watching the auctions for a truck to do this conversion...that would give me a 6.2L non-turbo, 1 ton axles, hydroboost brakes and a few more bits. The only issue it the trucks go for a bit more than the Blazers. And according to my buddy the Blazers are no good to us as you only...

See my thoughts within your post

Looks like a fun trip even with the electrical hassles... oh and on your campsite pic, just a small alert but best not to camp within 300ft of a water source. In some public lands it can get you a fine/talking to, on private lands it can get a rancher to hassle you and in all cases it keeps...

I want to publicly say that Black your comments are rude and unwelcoming...just so everyone knows Expo is about playing nice.

Hey Nerd.. Wow for $3500 I am considering buying it myself... But for the sake of my marriage I will say that you really need to join 67-72chevytrucks.com and post a for sale ad there as they would know that your price is great for the shape of the rig. Good luck on the sale and I hope this one...

These are great rigs as I just got a 1970 Burb... whoever gets this needs to spend time on 67-72chevytrucks.com as that is THE resource for these rigs. Looking forward to hearing the price so I can pass the word to folks who have drooled over mine. Also any reason a person could not fly in, buy...
