    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.

    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.

    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. 🤠

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures
      @OzarkOverlandAdventures  5 днів тому +3

      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.

    Wrong. It freezes in the Sonoran desert in many areas. Sometimes as low as 18 degrees F in the early mornings.

      Of course it freezes sometimes in some areas but overall the Sonoran desert is very mild in the winter with lows typically in the 40s.
