On this section of the trip, we depart Crown King and set off to tackled the trail of Turkey Creek, visit the old gold town of Cleator, and then begin our trek on a section of the Great Western Trail.

By far the best off-road videos on UA-cam.
You are too kind, thank you!
It isn't even close. The videos, the scenery, the trucks, and the people!
Easily the best. Check out the Chanel “the story til now” also
@F3333ty my 1 and 2 favorites by FAR
Finally Marco is here with his kitchen on wheels...👌👌
Better than an RV lol
Everyone: let’s go exploring.
Marco: Ok, but let’s have some Michelin Star level food while we do it.
As soon as I seen that pressure cooker my first thought was Birria! Yum!
So good!
I love that XJ. Just picked up a bone stock 98 with a manual myself! 3rd one for me.
I did these trails back in 88 and it's amazing to see how worn in they are now. Awesome area and your video skills captured it very well. It would be great to go back there maybe this year. ROCK ON!
If Marco coughs and says....”oh, yeah”.....I’d say there was a little heat to the salsa....😂
Love all your videos , no screaming , no overly loud music , not super focused on just the rig and it’s parts and “ hardcore” wheelin . A great balance of content. your videos was a big part of my decision to just a couple days ago buy a jk rubicon . Keep up the amazing work
Thank you and congrats on your new Jeep!
@@TrailRecon You’re very welcome. Being on the wet side of Oregon I don’t venture off into the high desert area but that’s definitely going to change having a vehicle that’s much more comfortable to drive and soaks up the bumps on all the forest service roads
This video makes a nice bit of nostalgia for me. I lived in Phoenix in the early 1990s, and the Bradshaws were my favorite destination to beat the summer heat or to pan for gold in Turkey Creek. Many trips through Bumble Bee and Cleator!
Thank you for releasing videos on Saturday and getting away from the usual Sunday release.
I've been guilty over the years about not posting on a specific day. What is it about Saturdays releases that you prefer?
@@TrailRecon a ton of you tubers I like to watch all release on Sunday as it seems they get the most views. It’s a lot of videos to come out on a single day. Today I enjoyed a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning watching this video.
Love this! Welcome to my back yard! I play on these trails a lot, but with your filming it makes me appreciate what I have all the more!
You are blessed to have those trails to explore!
Marco is the 4 wheeling, shirt model, gourmet chef, renaissance MAN!!!
man id like to see mama bear from lifestyle overland and marco cook!!!!
Great video. Enjoyed it with my coffee on a beautiful Saturday morning here in Missouri.
Good morning!
dude having you and marco riding around is awesome and gets even better with trint as well love it
Marco you just love cooking. That is so great and there is such a team spirit.
How does anyone even give a thumbs down🤷🏻♀️ Brad you’re the best and Marco, well I have to say it’s a win win combination 💯🥰‼️ Marco is a great cook 👨🍳 makes me hungry when I watch y’all 😅😋🥰
Love the variety of rigs and camping styles in this trip! Well done brother!
Awesome, thank you!
You guys sure eat good with Marco, Marco your the man!
So in summary when you come to AZ and do the big long trails you need:
1. Water and lots of it
2. Full tank
3. Amazing chef
4. Trail boss expert who has mastered it
5. Toilet paper
6. Camera
7. Food
8. Great friends who also know how to fix 4x4's lol.
Excellent video Master Chief glad your son go to go with you before his deployment.
Why do I feel that these guys eat better camping than I do at home?
I tend to eat better camping than at home. You plan all of your meals out beforehand. Limited space, so you only buy and bring what you need.
they do
Awesome as usual Brad!! I love your work. The filming is phenomenal👍
Thanks so much!
I live in Spring Valley where you all fueled up. I have run all the trails you were on and I love them. I run a 94 ZJ, 5.9 v8 on 32s.. I plan to run Turkey Creek again soon.
Love your vids. Keep it up....
Haha, Marco...
"Alright well, we're going on a long ride, and we need to eat well, im not sure what to bring."
Marco: "A cauldron."
My Jeep buddy's always picked on my 4cyl. Scout 80, but I always would shut them down with, "Ok but you lead the way, and I'll follow. When you get stuck, i'll pull you out. And another thing all you old timers may remember Granvill King from 4Wheeler Mag, He always said, "Keep your thumbs out of the steering wheel spokes, and keep you left foot off the clutch, and drive elegant". Right on Granny.
Birria!!!! That is an awesome meal to make out on the trail.....Not an easy task. Usually have to boil/cook the goat down in a big cauldron for hours.
Love the camaraderie.👍🏼
Happy birthday to the kid.
Edit: Marco is the man! That red salsa looked next level 🤤
Ali & Marco on the same run! 🍽️....can't get any better then that!😉🍻
Such a nice group. Love the camaraderie.
That white cherokee xj is awesome.
Thanks Brad so much.
I have been on many trail rides and on damn near everyone of them, everyone gets pushed becouse a time or destination has to be met in a certain time. Herd mentality.
Now I am getting older I don't hang with the crowd that is pushing. I have learned to slow down take natures beauty in and relax and have alot less breakdowns and stress with something that should be enjoyed.
Everything in nature lives in harmony in it's own speed. Since I have taken this approach I start seing things I have missed.
9 days and only 2 videos?
This was too good to be that short!
As someone that lives in the flat planes of the midwest, I wanna enjoy the views!
Those trailers are putting in work
That Hemi V8 would tow your trailer like butter! Manual vs Auto... For me, I usually need to drive for 6/8+ hours to get to decent 4X4 trails. This is where the automatic trans earns its salt. Especially if theres traffic. Yes, its a tradeoff. I actually grew up driving a manual. Bought my first 4WD in 1979. Chevy Luv! Still wish I had that truck...
I am an automatic person. I drove manuals all my life. So I have had both, However there is one thing people do not mention when making the argument for a manual. People may not think about the fact that an automatic trans adds heat to the cooling equation. In the desert, in the heat, climbing hills in low gear at slow speeds manuals do not add any load to the cooling system. This can be quite important in vehicles depending on air movement to cool the transmission. This really can be amplified when talking about older vehicles. I still think the automatic is superior in many situations, though not all. But manuals have no lines to break, almost never spring leaks on the trail, so there is that aspect to add to the equation. love your videos.
Native to this landscape, I'm jealous and have to hit again. I saw your camp pie. If you get a chance, hit the Rock Springs Cafe in Black Canyon City, probably $14 a pie but you'll know why. A group that size, you might need two of them.
I know you did but it apparently needs to be said for others:
If you open a gate close it!
Do not leave any trash behind! Even if it's not yours!
I love your channel and I'm an auto to manual conversion!
and also one of those Isuzu VehiCross'ers
AWESOME VIDEO WEATHER LANDSCAPE COLORS SCENERY VIEWS 👌 GORGEOUS CAMPSITES & TRAILS ! VERY CLEAN CAMPSITES 👌 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏 ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THANK YOU 🙏
Wow you guys are so brave. Just watching you guys drive is really nerve racking. But the view is great and you guys are great friends and group. Cheer up!!! I enjoyed watching. Thanks.
Eating jalapeños and drinking coffee while on the trail, brave.
Marco is great. good person to always have along
Love seeing you guys pull those trailers on technical trails. I pull an M416; I have never needed to pull it on a technical trail, but you guys give me confidence that maybe I will one of these days!
Love the manual transmisson… standard where I live in europe 😉👍 great video thank you so much fpr sharing 🤗
this guys a legend rolling with a blender and pressure cooker!
Cannot til I do an adventure like this!! Looks like so much fun!!!
Agreed-manual all the way on my ‘97 TJ! So much better control over traction.
Now THAT is a trailer of another color.
Trail recon with my morning coffee. Great start to my weekend!
Right on!
Thanks for telling the story. I know it is a lot of work to video and edit this content. I appreciate it. Thank you for your service, lol...
My favorite parts of all the videos is seeing everyone’s setup and the campsites.
That old Scout is awesome
Just a great video!! thanks for taking us along. I ride off-road adventure bike so I can appreciate the beauty
Nice scout!!
Marco always steals the show. Awesome video.
I can smell that camp coffee from here!!!!
I love this channel. I'm always hungry after seeing Marco's trail cooking. Video and narration is so fun to watch. Please keep it going.
This looks like so much fun with a group of guys. My heart raced when I saw one of the rigs going over some hard terrain and at a bend on rocks with only 3 wheels!
the scout brought tears to my eyes.
I enjoying watching this video...
Great video! But Brad, you should cross the chains to your trailer. The main reason, is that "some day", "something" might happen, and the trailer tongue comes loose from the receiver. If that happens, the crossed chains will grab the tongue like a catchers mitt and keep it from hitting the ground. Worst case, that happens on the highway. Would be nice to have a 'back up' in case things come apart, that way, no damage is done.
I caught this at the 7:54 mark. Hope that helps, rock on brother!
Funny. That dog is chasing reflections on the ground. My dog does that!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
This ride through Turkey Creek up to Cleator is my favorite! Better than Crown King and all others put together.
Love that Scout!
Really enjoyed this video of your trip. Very well presented, top job!! 😊👍🦘🇦🇺🦘
LOVE the old Scouts! I wouldn't trade my II for the world. I've been everywhere in that thing. I love it when I see them out still ruling the trails.
Now this is an awesome adventure, great video as always!
I know I've said this before...but Marco is the secret weapon of the team!
This is helping so much cause I just got a manual transmission ‘07 JK Unlimited and I’m learning how to drive it!
Brad good to see y’all carving up Arizona again. I did broken arrow again today via schnebly hill rd in my Silverado. Hope to see you guys out killing it soon
Look at those birds by the seashore! I love trail recon forever one reason why my husband get addicted into off roading and me dong vlogs.
What a fantastic trip this was. Brad you did an excellent job putting all the content together. Thank you goes out to everyone who attended. We made a lot of new friends on this trail and hope to hook up again on the next trail. Thanks to CenterForce clutches for putting this event together.
Your Friends at Falken Tires
LOVE the scout!
Happy birthday to mason, great trails great friends awesome scenery an yes Marcos cooking Absolutely priceless as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍
Those falkens look good on those jeeps
Your videos make me wanna get into off roading so bad!
Sick video man, I'm local to the area and have been driving around in those hills all my life, but funny enough I have never been to the Cleeter Yacht Club.
Also cool to the guys from Summit coming out to lend a hand, they are really good people that do extraordinary work. Hope you guys enjoyed it, and hope to see yall again out here some day.
Great video Brad, you guys know how to have fun and wheel. AZ Boy
At 12:00 that point is what we call tippy corner, there is a great YT video of a roll over on it and the driver is fine after. You mess this up and you roll 20' down and 30 yards. Fun trail. @trailrecon, next time you are in PHX let me know and we'll go out in my group on several realllly technical runs!
I LOVE the red colour of your Jeep and the cute matching trailer- very stylish!
Simply awesome trip. Fantastic video/editing. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next adventure.
This video and the one before are my favorite due to the manual transmission- really like hearing from those drivers and seeing them maneuver them trails. Of course, you are still our favorite even with an automatic 👍
Loving this series!!!! Lake Pleasant is where I go camping and fishing with my daughter!!!
good adventure
Gotta love the great state of Arizona! I grew up in the mountains of AZ.... not that hot derserty part. :)
nice for adventure
Thanks for another great one Brad. We could all wish for smell a vision when Marco cooks.
Awesome adventure and great video.
Unfortunately the greed of You Tube with 11 commercials in 25 minutes really upsets the experience some.
Here in the UK we all drive Manual /Stick Shit transmissions as we have a lot of very steep hilly roads and also having a manual is fun , you choose what gear to be in not the car
Thanks for the videos. Currently battling COVID with a long recovery ahead. Can't wait to get back on the trails.
I miss Arizona!
Greetings from Camp Verde/Rimrock AZ. I’m actually heading up the back way to Crown king tonight for a night run followed by a run through turkey creek first thing tomorrow morning.
You'll love it, safe travels!
So you guys like my backyard! Me too!
that lead scout is an absolute beast!
What a great trip! So rad to see so many manual rigs out there!
Wow cool
This is so awesome! My best friends live in spring valley and these trails are basically in their backyard. There is so many amazing rides within a 200 mile radius. Thank you for showcasing this amazing trail!
Great video as usual Brat.
We love you Marco
Look at Mi Compita Marco y su Barba Alterada. Fierro Marco. Guys sure lookednyou guys had a blast in in My Home AZ.
That XJ makes me miss my old cherokee.
I love these videos, and seeing the trips, the vehicles, and the scenery. Such high quality. Thank you for making, I look forward to them.
