You're not alone. You have Rooster, your trusty dog. Haven't you seen the movie The Grinch? Small dogs have big hearts….very powerful when properly hooked up. I bet she could pull that Jeep out of any predicament.
loved the video Matt!!! so glad you were able to suprise kara!!!! coming from the south florida area, its really a blessing to see something else besides a swamp. stay safe friend!
We call those "Teddy Bear" cactus, jumping Cholla. They are treacherous. I live in the Northwest corner of the Sonoran and I plan to visit some trails in the Kofa soon. Great video, and a great impetus to get out there and explore! Thank you.
Best 2hr RU-vid movie I've watched. See the colours on your Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, hair and icing. Thank you. Oh yah, the time period when there is a saint (only known now) in the area.
I spent 8 months in slab city, California and while living there, I got to watch all sorts of military movements at night in those mountains!! Super cool area. Lots of Canadian Snowbirds (retired Canadians who travel to the warm weather for winter) live in that area.
We stayed in and did a bunch of trails around Crown King in mid July and loved it. The hardest trail we did was Desoto Mine trail, 6/10, and it was difficult in a lifted stock tundra on 35’s with no lockers, it took us 5 hrs to go 11 miles and we, my son and I, were solo. We stuck to 5/10 or less after that. I love Arizona, and we were 1 of 2 people to stop and put out a roadside fire with our one extinguisher and our shovel 😁. Oh, we got a lot of pinstriping, which was awesome and expected. My dash thermometer showed the heat at 118 on one our trail runs. We had our dog, so we ate outside while traveling there and back and 104 dry heat felt like 85 in north east Texas, so very doable.
Thanks for sharing Matt👍 great as always And you bet if i could figure out a way to assemble precision lenses on the road or outdoors😆.... I'D DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT!!!
Your videos have so much feeling in them. I appreciate the time and effort you have to put into them and also not adding turbo rock music to drive me away.
At 1:39:42: That area was used by the army advanced flight school during WWII. The AZTEC rock "formation" was used as a navigation aid for pilots. About 41 miles Southeast of that point is the town of Aztec, Arizona and the edge of the Berry Goldwater bombing range. There are similar navigation markings throughout arizona. 🤠
I have seen landscapes from Alaska and south to the Amazon. I have visited as far east as the Judean desert. Beaches,mountains, plains ect and I find nothing more beautiful than the Sonoran desert,especially in the evening.
So, I dont know anything about that Aztec spot you were at, but the Aztec empire did extend to AZ and SoCal. There are actual petroglyphs I want to say nearer the Colorado river at the border (north of Yuma). Anyhow, thanks for inspiring me to start exploring my own state 🙂
Red Canyon and Bradshaw trail. Our group does it every year. Overland 4LO. Great beginner trail. Fall thru Spring. Summer way too hot. Always someone on the trail. Safe for solo. And it's just south of Mojave desert and it is Sonora desert.
Awww. Nice seeing Rooster again. Must have been hard to post this. But you hv lots of great memories. I was wondering Matt, what brand are those purple /blk pants? Love them.
I wanted to see those 🌵 back in June but never made it south of Sedona. Our next vacation next weekend might be a motorcycle trip to your state if the weather is good. If not, I'll go west of Oklahoma somewhere, possibly Carlsbad caverns. Have fun
10:53 every time I'm on state land or something like that and I see tracks going off the trail or the road I just hope that it's a State worker or something like that and not some idiot just blazing his own trail. 😂
Hi Matt......love your content 👍. We live in the SoCal area and are planning on doing Bradshaw Trail this fall/winter. Do you happen to have the GPS coordinates to that slot canyon offshoot? I see on GAIA there are basically 4 main offshoots afyer the tressel bridge, but, I can3fifure out which one is for tje slot canyon? Thanks in advance! Jim S.
We have the Starlink Mini now and honestly, I think it's a necessity when traveling in remote areas. We had a vehicle break down on us today in an area without cell signal and without Starlink we would have been screwed. But with Starlink we were able to research and fix the issue without turning around and towing the rig back to town.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures ..keep up the great work. Looking forward to what’s next. Have ever explored the northeast up in ‘Maine or northern New Hampshire or Vermont?…good time of year to be up there. Just not sure what is available in terms of trails and public access?
