I bet you do miss it - in the winter. The only summer I've experienced here was 2 yrs ago and it was pretty rough! But you would know that much better than me... I spent about 9 months in the NW while stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA back in 1977. Loved it up there along with the hiking and...

Hi guys, a brief update on our initial overland trip to the Southwest. We sprinted the 1700 miles out to Tucson then took a few days rest break while visiting family and friends. I'll share more about that when we meet up again in Appalachia. Our first track was the "Mexican Border Road"...

We started our overland trip across S. AZ after a brief rest in Tucson following ou 1700 mile interstate "sprint" from Atlanta, GA. Our introduction began south of Sierra Vista, AZ as we began the Mexican Border Road. The track was absolutely beautiful with perfect weather and temps both day...

Thanks Jason, Planning on hitting those trails beginning Monday or Tuesday (12/11 or 12/12) next week and will most likely be on the track through the Saturday the 16th. But we a very fluid in our plans so I could just jump to another area if too crowded... Wonderful thing about AZ is the...

Muchos gracias Dezert: I checked, via the web, on Organ Pipe and you are spot on - I found this: Backcountry Camping Currently nine zones are open for backcountry camping. The fee for backcountry camping is $5.00 per group and is good for seven (7) nights. Permits are required and available...

Thanks Dan, Now I can relax a bit... I've already got so much time invested planning and have had to scratch up way too much $$ for this trip. As you can imagine "all I need" is a citation for $5-700 for lacking a permit or a spark arrestor. I'd just have to shut it down and head back...

Hi VC , thanks for the reply and sorry for the oversight of not including my vehicle info. I will be driving my Daily Driver... i.e. a Ford Ranger 2002 4x4. The vehicle is all street legal, current tag, emissions verified, insured, etc. and virtually as OEM issued/sold. Here in GA the...

I'll check the posting you referenced... hope the fun times NEVER stop

In searching for campsites and trails in CA & AZ I discovered a new wrinkle... any vehicle driven on state public land (or something to that effect) must have an approved Spark Arrestor and a non-resident permit to operate... Obviously being from Georgia we don't have any such requirements...

My wife and I are driving from Georgia in SE US to visit family in Tucson then want to make a traverse(ish) route across Southern AZ from East to West: beginning on the Mexican Border Road (Backcountry Adventures AZ book by Massey) taking the Coronado Memorial Rd and Duquesne Rd. to S. River...

Can't wait to hear of and read about your travels across S. Africa. Are you going in a group or just you and your partner in the avitar/picture? Best of luck!!

Perfect info! Just what I was looking for. I recently read an older post on "Four Wheeler Network" but referenced a trip back in 2011, it did, however, contain pretty good details for several POI. Was just wondering if anyone of the AZ crew had visited the area in more recent times. Thanks...

Hey Will, enjoyed the video. I haven't been up that route before so I'll hit you up in late winter-early spring for a little "beta" after we get back from our travels out west.

Wow, what a lot of variation! Isn't that great...? Obviously most of us put a lot of thought into food and prep vs freeze dried paks and or protein bars (blah). My wife and I typically hit the road for 3-5 nights at a shot before swinging by a grocery store/gas up, etc. In doing that we've...

Thanks for the invite and update, I'm gonna bow-out for today. I've got to unpack the "kit" replenish supplies, wash-up and sanitize the kitchen gear, etc. This latest trip was a final "shake down cruise" for our upcoming trip out to AZ, SoCal, and back. Should be out for 6-7 weeks and...

Good morning Marshall, Welcome aboard. We live over near Tucker (NE side of ATL) and drive a 2002 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a Yakima RTT. Look forward to seeing you out on the FS roads/trails in the future.

Dang! Wish I'd checked my device yesterday so I could have met up. I just got back from a 3 night trip into the Cohutta Wilderness with my bride (after meeting k9sar on Saturday morning over in Cleveland, GA) but the wife and I were so tired we decided to go hit a Yoga class this morning to...

Hey Keith, yep, we survived the storm and it was a dozy. The wind had both of us concerned more than the heavy rainfall. We heard trees in the area snapping and limbs thudding to the ground. I got hit in the head by a small branch as we sat around our campfire, which was pretty funny since...

Hey man, thanks for the insight... Just got back home from a 4 day trip in and around the Cohutta Wilderness and Big Frog Wilderness of N Georgia and S Tennessee. Found an email from Park Ranger Katz with GCNP, AZ advising me the same thing about North Rim - January snow, road closures, as...
