Bunker Bar, Lake Havasu AZ - A Hidden Off-Grid Military Themed Bar & Grill Everyone Can Visit
On this trip, Kirk, Darren & Anna visit Lake Havasu Bunker Bar located a few miles north of Lake Havasu City 2.5 miles off HWY 95. For this adventure, we made a pit stop at P-Mountain located in Parker, AZ before investigating a desert fire and wild donkeys. Our UTV of choice is the Can-Am X3, but this off-road adventure is doable in any vehicle with decent ground clearance. Just be sure your rig is street legal as the track goes through Lake Havasu City. Also be sure to bring extra fuel.

    Thanks for the video. I’m watching cause I’m considering doing the peace trail this March. Been invited to go along with some guys who are on side by sides I ride an adventure motorcycle and was wondering your thoughts on motorcycles in this route. Did you see many bikes along the way. I consider myself an intermediate rider with lots of off road riding (BDRs And Baja several times). Plus how bad or deep does the sand get. I have done quite a bit of off road stuff in southern AZ and New Mexico

      There were other offroad dualsport motorcycles on the trail. If you are an experienced offroad motorcycle rider, you should be fine. Some of the days might be long in the saddle compared to a side by side though. Have fun on the trail. It's an experience of a lifetime.

    This area was our 4th day. We did it in the reverse direction. We stayed and started in Wickiup and was by far my favorite day. The views, the challenging trail, the spurs and going from desert floor up into pine forests. I’m just glad we didn’t meet any oncoming traffic on that narrow cliffside trail! We stayed at the Best Western Plus in Kingman. Love the coverage!

    I've had a pad in Parker Buckskin valley for years. Watched the whole scene grow over the years. Good times had by all. Remember when the locals burnt down the Sundance bar a couple of times. One season Sundance was only large carnival type tents. Crazy river adventures.

    This commentary may hurt UA-cam creator feelings, but it comes from the heart. When you post about a secret, beautiful place that everyone should see, then everyone goes to see it. In this case I’ve been to Lincoln Ranch numerous times. Each time there was a definite feeling of abandonment and solitude. I’ve only told one other person. Since UA-cam commentators advertised this place in order to get “hits” on their channels, Lincoln Ranch has turned into a bad circus. Last week there was a constant procession of caravan people. Some were drunk, some defecated on the land, leaving their toilet paper blowing in the breeze, and some left garbage, plastic containers, and drink cans and a noisy presence. The sense of something long gone, sacred, has just become overcrowded, with too many bodies pointing their cell phones this way and that, and then leaving in a cloud of dust, only to be replaced by another group. After nearly seventy years camping I could tell UA-cam viewers some awesome places that are still a secret, but I’m not about to because after tens of thousands of views many will come to these places and hurt the sacred peacefulness just by overcrowding. It’s difficult to drop all connectivity and just sit quietly whilst people are roaring around in their 4x4s. I hope you get my strong belief, and if you know of some awesome, secret place, please show only to a few confidants, instead of advertising it for a few cents worth of hits, thereby pretty much ruining a place.

      Your feelings come from a good place and are well received however we are not doing this for money. We consider our videos more of a video archive that future people can look back on to view a place that may or may not exist anymore. A historical record of sorts. We don't believe keeping destinations secrets is the path forward, but rather education through entertainment.

      If you look at pics of Kirk in his car, behind him you can see he is equipped with race air. It pumps fresh, filtered air in to your helmet so you don’t have to eat all the choking dust. makes a BIG difference. The helmet also has his communication gear (mic and earbuds) so he can talk with his son. If you don’t have that, you can’t hear the other people over the noise of the engine. No helmet = no fresh air and no communication with other vehicles.

Clean runs both machines, not even a flat or belt. Will be leaving Lake Havasu in late March. Will not be a trip for the faint of heart. Four two hundred mile days is my goal.
