i've been wanting to get over there again... count me as a maybe

 

Shweeet. Ill clean up the main post next time im on my computer

 

Wtf is going on here?

 

Nothing to see here move long sir

 

To the top!

 

What about that one hill that the quadders came down when you, me, Jason and Steve were out there? Anyone want to conquer the face of that shit?

 

Hahahaha f that! Jason number two set up something for the same day first. @ box canyon Neither of us care where we go. He's looking for technical. I recal white tanks having spots that could be technical but wanted to get in others inputs before we decide anything. Check his thread out.

 

Insurance waivers haha

 

Yay Im offically Jason #2!!!

Yea, dont care where we go, just want to get out and use my 4 wheel drive button.

Just don't wanna be driving on graded dirt roads all day - I'd like to do something a little more adventurous. Haha!

 

Shhhhh its not that far. Has anyone done the canyon? is it technical? What about you people who've done white tanks? Technical spots we've not done?

 

Where are we having breakfast! Im hungry already!

 

Nothing really that "technical" out at I10 and Miller.... its a prerunners playground

 

Until you go up and over the white tanks..

 

eh, still mostly 2wd friendly from the areas and trails I have been on very similar to most of the 4 peaks area. Box Canyon is a great spot if your looking for a moderate trail with a little challenge :2cents:

 

How much are use permits?

thats the one turn off. Lack of time to obtain the permit. But with warning I'll get a pass.

 

use permits?

 

Supposedly for Box Canyon you need a "Use Permit" - its $15 for the whole year.

HOWEVER

I just looked here and it does not mention needing a pass (scroll down to Box Canyon):

Also, the simple fact that the Game and Fish Department mentions the Coke ovens makes me think they are not on private property.


Also, these Hummer foolz have some good pics of the place:

In the end though, if we want more people to be able to go, we should just stick with White Tanks for NOW and plan a 4x4 only trip to Box Canyon when more people can go.

My $.02

 

if your on a bike or ATV yes. Trucks and Jeeps, no.
