Montezuma Canyon Road and all along that corridor are beautiful. We explore that area pretty regularly. Lots of interesting mines and historical spots to see down there

Yeah, i'm much more spooked out by the possibility of wildlife visits while i'm camping down there (and anywhere, really). We pulled into one camp spot last weekend and as we were setting up I noticed a completely shredded up deer carcass about 30 feet away, and next to that was what appeared to...

My family and I explore along the border pretty regularly. My wife and I have three kids aged 4 months to 9 years and i've never felt in danger. We definitely keep our wits about us, but have never ran into any trouble. I personally don't carry, but I've been told by the Border Patrol it...

With your background, you should have no problem with the electrical component questions on the Technician test. You'll probably have no problem with the General as well. Search Youtube for "Ham Radio 2.0 New Technician" and then "Ham Radio 2.0 General" to watch recordings of both test training...

The route you want to search for is called "El Camino Del Diablo", and it is supposed to be really interesting and incredibly remote. I have not done the route yet, it's at the top of my TO DO list though, and I hope to do it come January or February. It's typically a three day trip if you go...

Here in Arizona we have a ton of public land. Much of the BLM, state trust, and federal land is publicly accessible, but from time to time a rancher will but up locked gates to block access. From my understanding this is legal for them to do, but I believe they have to make a case before doing...

Eric, I just recorded another track along the Borderlands this past weekend and marked out a few campsites and such. Here's the data in case you are interested: https://www.gaiagps.com/datasummary/track/54dd343c619849ae7b25e53f9c2ef0ec/ Last minute invite: If anybody is interested, we're gonna...

Oh yeah, perfect. You should have no problem along the borderlands then. The dirt highways are easy, and most of the trails i've been on down there are moderate difficulty at most. I HIGHLY recommend making a dip down to drive directly along the border fence, it's pretty neat. The border fence...

@Eric Neal When you say 4-5 is that out of 5 or out of 10? Here in AZ there is a TON of public land and dispersed camping. The temperatures here vary wildly based on elevation. December in Tucson is typically highs in the mid sixties, and lows in the forties. once the sun is shining if will...

Welcome! I'm down in Tucson

I tried to hook up a friend's Keurig to the 115v outlet built into my Jeep JKU once but as soon as it kicked on and started sucking power the outlet shut itself off. I then saw that the built-in inverter only allows 150 Watts, which is 1.3 Amps. The Keurig, depending on the model, draws up to...

I unfortunately won't be attending again, headed back out on the trails for a couple days of adventuring

Not sure what happened to that link, i suspect it got mangled somehow in the copy pasta. Here is one that should work (it's also listed in the Rally Point events listing) OB MEET & GREET / TEMPE MARKET PLACE

Your image links didn't work, @Chris.n.world, but i think i found Loky on your instagram :D

Welcome!

There's the "Meet and Greet" meetup which sounds like it's just like a parking lot meetup (i haven't been to one), and there's the AZ Overlanders meetup group where we go out on overnight trips fairly regularly. AZ Overlanders is not an offcial OB group, but most attendees are members of OB...

Welcome from Arizona, USA. Your Defender 90 looks super fun!

Welcome!

Welcome! I'm down in Tucson but head up to your vicinity for the AZ Overlanders meetup every month. Both great books, one note about "Backcountry Adventures: Arizona": it is no longer published as one big state-wide book, and is therefore getting harder to find used for a reasonable price. The...

Great Pro/Con list! Yeah, I'm with you on the ham thinking. It's definitely my go-to, but on many runs I go on, most of the participants don't have their amateur license so we end up having to use something else. I always have 2m/70cm, GMRS, and CB, and i prefer to use them in that order...
