GWT Update

...all went well so far, we made it thru to Dugas. Trail from Cavecreek to Dugas was mild 2WD. Set up camp in Dugas the first night right next to a stream. While prospecting for Gold saw plenty of unfortunate Crawfish to add to the dinner receipe (photo's to come). Broke camp the following morning and drove Cherry rd. thru Mingus (only one small obsticle-water crossing 4WD) with a quick stop in Clarksdale for refuel and lunch (beer). made it to Perkinsville and set up camp on the river, no crawfish for dinner this time. Made a nice spa out of rocks in the river, and enjoyed cool water. Only complaint was Marichi music in the background, were able to drown it out with our cplassic rock...lol...Got up next morn and took a bit of a drive into Parks. Dopped off our third party member who had to head home. Continued our drive due North into Kaibab National Forest. Enjoying the cool weather, pintrees and bugs, Chili on the menu and some more beer. Grand canyon tomorrow......To Be Continued....
 
Wow, sounds like a nice expedition. Pictures please!



MMMmmm. Last time we added local crawdads to the evening meal for me was backpacking through West Clear creek. Very tasty :)
 
...Update

...can u say ELK, they bugled all night both Mon and Tues. Slight weather for both days, got some rain. Took backroad into Grand Canyon and had a look around. Ate an ok steak dinner at Yippies and went back to camp. Bit of fog at canyon. Little rain Tues morn, packed up and headed to Sedona thu williams. Purty part of Az, made camp just NW of Sedona. Once again the ELK kept us up all night. Made a B line to Crown King taking the back route thu Mayer. Nice road, bit bumpy no 4WD required. Set up camp in Crown King within walking distance of the CK bar. Had some good wings and beer. Fitting end to this trek. Going back for the Biscuits and gravy in the morn, then back home to put some work in on the old lady and more beer :flipoff2:. Stand by for photos....
