There's a number of really cool day trips near the Benson area: 1) Fairbank, AZ - In between Benson and Tombstone there's a neat little historic ghost town called Fairbank that's just a short detour down HWY 82. There's some neat old buildings and a little schoolhouse museum/bookstore that's...

Welcome from Baja Arizona! We lived in the Bay Area for about a dozen years before we moved back here to AZ. There's a pretty decent guide book called "Guide To California Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails" that I recommend picking up. It has a number of routes and waypoints that cover the whole...

Welcome, i'm down in Tucson! Come say hi in the Arizona Overlanders thread as well, there's quite a bit of spontaneous trip coordination that happens in there

Yes! That's definitely a pro move. We do something similar in the back of our jeep where I tend to do most of the cooking and food prep. Always handy to have paper towels and extra light right there Sent from my SM-G965U using OB Talk mobile app

We're in the desert so our coldest mornings are usually still somewhere around 30F, nonetheless, when we're out adventuring I always get up early and have a freshly made hot cup of tea ready for her when she wakes up.

@Michael's list is spot on. I'll also add a few things I always do when I am leading a run: ROUTING Research and plan your route ahead of time. If the route has not been driven in-person for a considerable amount of time, also plan some backup routes. (Where i'm at, it's not uncommon to get...

The Tucson contingent is growing! I'm gonna set up a rigs and coffee meetup down here once the temps cool back down a bit

Hello @Jones, Welcome! I'm also located here in Tucson (Broadway and Country Club area), hit me up if you ever wanna talk gear, vehicles, trails, or go on a run. We go out pretty regularly, typically a few times a month, some short trips, some long trips. There's so many great areas to explore...

Welcome! You have a nice looking setup. I have a buddy down here in Tucson that used a similar trailer for his off-road trailer platform. It turned out really well and highly functional. Let me know if you start a build thread about it, I'd love to follow along!

Max elevation on that route is only ~2600ft, probably gonna be quite hot, even at night. I've been considering putting together a small get together in higher/cooler ground, something like the Chiricahua Mountains, but that might be too far of a drive for all you Phoenix area folks.

Stopped for a quick photo op while working my way back down the Catalina Mountains after camping up on Mt Bigelow for ARRL Field Day this past weekend.

nice job, it looks great!

I clip a OB mini-deluxe base camp flag on to the molle webbing on the back of my Trasharoo. Works pretty great, nice and visible

Welcome! We have a strong membership here in AZ and it's getting stronger every day. Come say hi in the Arizona Overlanders thread as well, there's quite a bit of trip coordination and local event notices that get posted in there.

Congratulations, that's fantastic! For your extra, I highly recommend watching David Casler's (KE0OG) section introductions before you start each section. He does a really great job of providing additional context and explanation about whatever is being taught for each section. Here's his web...
