Parker AZ, 3/20-22

[Symon623]

We Loaded up the camper for our first "long" trip to meet up with the HCR's in Parker AZ, WE stayed at the La Paz County Campground right on the river. Had another awesome w/e with the Renegades. Here's some pics;

Camp;

View from the camper really sucked;

Some of the others were already there and went out to run a trail that morning but they came back for lunch and then we went out to run another trail that is close by called Deliverance;
complimentary group shot;

Comin into teh Devils Elbow;

TC's toy headin in;

Gettin a bit close;

And out;

 

[Symon623]

After teh Elbow we went a couple hundred yards up the wash to a little fall that we all made pretty easily;

Wayco;

Blkruby;

 

[Symon623]

after a few little out croppings we came to this little pucker spot;

It was ounly about 40

Wayco;

TC's Toy and Blkruby both opted for the bypass as they were taller and didn't want to rip their tops. We went a little farther and got to a little flexy spot;

 

[Symon623]

We headed back to camp to relax by the river and hang out for the night. BUT Wayco was talking to some folks in teh campground about their Jeeps and noticed this on TC's Jeep;

So out cam the tools;

Close up of the damage;

 

[Symon623]

This tool worked pretty slick once I got the damn full snap rings out;

Katvans was cookin wings and fish sticks while all this was goin on so I had to take a break;

We had him all done in about 45 minutes and I only got 2 wings and no fish sticks the bastards.

 

[Symon623]

Satruday we headed over to the California side to check out some trails over there. Snakebite I, II and JB's Revenge were on the agenda;

SB I starts out kinda like a Moab trail with steep climbs on sandstone for good traction;

 

[Symon623]

Like Moab we did some steep ups and downs but once on top the views were awesome;

 

[Symon623]

Then we got to this tight spot;

The others did really have an issue draggin their fenders through.

 

[Symon623]

We took the wash up higher without much excitement just a couple o tight spots;

Then teh old sayin what goes up must come down came into play and over there they dont take an out road down they take another wash down;

 

[Symon623]

We found teh bottom and then went over to SB II, SB II starts out in a notch with a series of stair steps to climb.
Here's Jeep trash showin the way;

 

[Symon623]

My turn;

This vid was too big for PB.

 

[Symon623]

All comers took a bump at teh bottom except teh Blkruby took the strap;

 

[Symon623]

Here's Katvans and Blkruby crawlin the rest;

 

[Symon623]

We wound our way out of that wash and over to a service road to find some shade near JB's revenge for lunch and we found it;

JB's revenge starts out kinda tricky;

all made it through without too much drama

 

[Symon623]

It is also a very short trail with obstales really close to wach other, we barely got in and had to make a hard turn into this shoot;

Jeeptrash left some paint on this rock so I opted for another option here;
