Jeep Trip to Charouleau Gap 2/24/09












4 Rigs w/ passengers took off on 2/24/09 for the Montana Mtns. This run is rated a "hard" 4 and proved to be accurate! They were in and out of a wet river (somewhat unusual in AZ in the wintertime).Third photo shows Roger's passenger, Lyle standing beside the river at one point.
First photo is of an old adobe cabin, pretty much a ruin. It has a cement floor, but the bricks appear to be hand made adobe mud.
The second photo gives a good idea of what the 'road' looked like, river and rock. At one point, passengers were climbing out of rigs in the river, clambering over rocks, tring to keep their feet dry, while the driver tried to get out of 'holes,' and keep the jeeps from flooding out. The fourth photo is of the Jeeps all lined up and ready to roll. Of course, a great time was had by all, and they went out again 2 days later to a somewhat less adverturous trip.
Happy trails,
