Sunday Trail Run

By Jeep Experts

While attending the eleventh Annual Chili Poker Run on Nov. sixth, my good friend Joe Ruby requested me if I needed to exit the next day and see some Indian ruins within the Southern Bradshaw Mountains.  Not eager to waste a great alternative to see some Arizona historical past, I promised I’d meet up with him at 8:30 the following morning, able to go.

Here are a number of images of our run for that day.  Joe led me again into the mountains till my Jeep (and me for that matter) couldn’t go any additional.  He then had me climb on board his CJ-7 (okay, so he has a number of extra goodies in his) and took me up a path he has traveled a number of occasions earlier than.  Here are a number of pictures from that day.


First cease was the Indian ruins.  You can see a part of the partitions that had been constructed a whole lot of years in the past.

Joe stands close to the sting of the ruins, excessive atop a mesa.  These folks had an exquisite view.

Joe snapped a shot of me by one of many stone partitions.

A gap was craved into the stone flooring and used to grind the grain into flour.  You can see the scale of it in comparison with the 1 liter water bottle.

Another shot of the stone partitions, all that is still of this way back village.

Further down the path and manner up a mountain, Joe checks out the path.

This is a gauging station, which is used to measure the extent of the water within the creek or river throughout the moist season.  I didn’t have time to test it out to see precisely the way it works, however I’ll the following time I’m within the space.

From the place Joe is standing (within the picture above), that is the path main up, up, and away!  Believe it or not, it will get steeper a bit additional up.

Joe and I name this the Little Grand Canyon.  This little creek has reduce its manner via the bedrock, on its approach to a close-by lake. 

Our rides, parked close to the Little Grand Canyon.  Joe’s CJ-7 sports activities about an 80:1 crawl ratio, whereas I’ve to limp by with 39:1.  Hence, we parked mine and used his on a 4 rated path earlier that day.
