Our Arizona run
My son is getting ready to head to Japan for 2 years and wanted to bring him on a run. Couldn't pull that off so we did our own, Had a great time, put 174 miles on, mostly off-road but had to take some pavement to get around. We had a good time.Ran across a super cool little town it looked like but had a No Trespassing sign, bummer, would of loved to explore that place. Great weather, buggy ran great, stopped at Topock 66 and had a couple burgers then on to another trail.
can't seem to get Youtube to show again. Tim?

Re: Our Arizona run
Thanks Daron, it was. Have some more videos, will add more pics later. Not to many towns you have burros just roaming around on main street.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

Re: Our Arizona run
I have to find some faster trails, these were super cool but speed was down because the terrain was erratic, lots of sharp hills and turns. I'll find something, thanks Jason.

Here is another trail, was a bit faster and had another mine to check out. I did enjoy the time we got to spend together. [BBvideo=560,315]https://youtu.be/lITntsodZVY[/BBvideo]

Re: Our Arizona run
Cool trails David. Familiar area too, since the wife and I visited Oatman in December after the Rage At The River race. I wanted to explore offroad. But in the stock Durango with the wife along, it wasn't going to happen. I know you wanted to go to the Death Valley area, but you've got lots of neat country right there near your home. This is probably the best time of year to offroad there too. True of most of the western desert.

Re: Our Arizona run
I haven't explored a lot of them so lots to look over. I want to go over the Peace Trail, Supposed to lead from Nevada to Yuma. Should be fun.

Nice video and report, Leather.

Hey Leather I just subscribed to your channel. Going thru your vids now. Very cool! Now I really need to get my buggy done and get out there. Sorry I don't know the story but is your son USMC? My son wanted to join the Corps but they tried to pull a fast one like recruiters do and I warned him away. He joined the Army instead.
Keep up the trip reports! Its motivating!
