We scooped up @JackA and took the back way to Crown King trail. The 200 ate that s***

Crown King was a superb run. Hardest I've ever pushed the 200 and it killed it. Started snowing on us at the end

Awesome pics but I imagine they don’t do that rugged country justice.

Nope.

Thats why many, many people die in that area crossing the border…. It’s fǔcking remote.

Good times.

Weather was interesting....

 

[JackA]

Muddy mess....lol

 

[Leelanau]

Great pics fellas. Awesome adventure!

Crown King along some awesome mining roads. To a mine. To camp.

The 200 took a beating at the end of the day. Both Slee sliders are bent from a bad bit of driving on my part.

We made it to camp in sleet and lightning. None of this was as on my Arizona bingo card

Highlight of my sons trip was the mine. Thanks Jack for the tour. Totally awesome

We spun around in the area we camped and got up to 7500' with lots of snow.

I blew a tire on a long climb and had to change it on the trail


We wrapped around 3 and split up. SteveO to the airport. Jonathan and Laird back to Beno's shop and Will and I to Scottsdale to pick up Red for some vacation time.

Awesome leg two of the great western vacation. Back at it in May.

Damage report.

@JackA ran smooth out of talent and backed into a creek just after I smashed both sides of my Slee Sliders and ripped one of the wings out from under the front bumper.

Tires are not cheap

 

[JackA]

Good times except for the crunchy crunch. It was dark, foggy and I was beat. Still had a great time showing you guys around my local ish wheeling spots.

Tire not under warranty?

Tire not under warranty?

Dunno. I'll find out.

Guess I'm kinda slow...it took me all the way to the license plate shot to recognize that 80.

It was the 2 vehicles from Tilda Bogue that threw me.

Fun run. Enjoyed wheeling with y’all….

You too Jay. Laird was asking if you had a build thread on your truck?

Wrapping up the family part of this trip. We were glad to have the Whale to use all week here in Scottsdale. I'm leaving it out here and we will be back for part 3 of this mission to parts unknown at this point.

I see what you did there.

Good to see you again.
