Wheeling/Camping Trip, May 24 - 27

Anybody want to do some wheeling and camping in AZ with @n2deep @KevinK and I ???

Arrive Thu May 24 in the evening and depart Sun morning.

6 trucks max

We haven't pinned down all the routes yet, but Craig hasn't done Crown King so I was thinking that would be a fun one to do. It might be a little hot and last time we didn't find the best camp sites so we are open to suggestions on trails and camp sites.

Our trucks are fully built and fully self-contained so we are interested in challenging trails and remote camp spots.

It would be cool to meet some local AZ trucks who know the area!

 

camping in az at the end of may is easily going to be 100+ temps anywhere near phoenix..if you guys come i will gladly run trails but not a chance im camping me and my dog would die in the back seat of my truck

day trips and sleeping on friends couches plus incorporating fossil creek, oak creek, wet beaver, salt river for sight seeing and cooling off may be a better shot..not trying to rain on your parade

Well like I said, we weren't sure about the weather so we're open to other trails.

We could always do Northern AZ, it should be reasonable up there

But I'm not sleeping on anybody's couch when I can jerk off in my own RTT

 

Yeah I don’t think we camp anywhere south of Prescott on this one. We can find all camp sites with elevation.

 

Mt Trumbull is dope and @n2deep said he found a new spot there he wants to explore

 

Only problem with Mt Trumbull is it's in the north side of the canyon and that is a long road around. But we can do a North rim run. There are ice caves near Mt Trumbull and can hit Sublime point.

 

Yeah dude if its going to be hot in central AZ, then I'm down for a north rim run. That area is so huge we can find some new spots for sure

 

There are a ton of trails that we haven't even touched up near the actual park area

 

Perfect

 

We could head up toward Escalate UT also. Smokey Mountain road is dope.

 

On

Only 2 days of wheeling and I would like to end sun morning with a reasonable drive home

 

Too bad for me, my youngest's b-day is the 24th.

 

Family first! We'll catch ya on the next one!

 

Let's concentrate on this area:

 

This area will be coolest weather wise - camp at Point Sublimeone night

 

North rim is like a 9hr drive home for you Alex and 6hrs for Kevin

 

Let me ask around about Kingman. Supposed to be some pretty good shit there and I’ve never wheeled it.

Sht, how can we end the trip on Sun morning so that I have like a 6 or 7 hours drive home lol

 

@n2deep thats the area Riley and I wheeled isn't it??? That area is cool and I have a bunch of routes that we didn't get to check out

 

Kingman is 4h50m from Temecula.
3h from mesquite
3h30m from phx

 

Right. But what kind of trails are we going to do by Kingman?

 

Kingman is the best city in the state of Arizona - if not the whole country.

 

I can't tell if serious or sarcastic since I know nothing about the place lol

 

I just know that great people are born there. haha

 

Was Diana born in Kingman?

 

NO I was born there. She was born in Compton haha "Gangsta Gangsta"

 

Kingman is not quite the armpit of Az, but its in the running

I can probably make this trip. I will request time off asap.

 

I know a dude that’s been wheeling there three times in the past few moths. He drives a long travel pathfinder and does technical shit and over lands. I’ll try to find pics. Looks legit in Kingman.
