Crown King - Summer 2012

CK can now almost be ran in 2wd. Its been so graded from what it was. There are a couple bypasses that make it fun still. Jason if you think of the trail we went on its worse part is about double what CK has (minus the bypasses) CK is just longer in length. Fun to get the elevation change though, specially in the winter when you can hit snow

 

Ahh ok - thanks Brandon for the insight! I really liked that trail we went on. It was fun!

I was kinda looking forward to a challenge, but got a little scared when I saw 6" lifted Jeeps with full lockers having a hard time. I think one even received a little body damage. I was like... ok maybe I will be taking the bypasses.

 

You will enjoy it

Just watch out for those paint eating bushes

 

Common give me a break - the truck only has 3k miles on it!!!

HAHAh!

 

Bah, when mine hit 3K I got the vast majority of the pinstripes I have now back in the old Butcher Jones in the back washes (quad trails, now closed off). Once you break it in, then the real fun starts

 

And thats why I am glad I have a white truck. You can barely see my pinstripes and have to look really close. Jake, your truck looks like its been in a fight with freddy kruger.

 

Which just makes it that much more badass, because it won. Besides, chicks dig scars.

 

Wild fire burning in crown king. May have to pick a different destination....

 

seems like there always is! That sux!

 

We'll have to watch it. Last I saw on the news last night it was 4 miles n/e of Crown King which is pretty damn close. Hopefully they get it contained. That's the opposite side of where the 4x4 trail is. I'll keep an eye on the news.

 

Grew to 3000 acres over night

My mom sent me a picture of the fire from our street up north... Decent sized fire. She said it's north, and shouldnt jeopardize CK.

Edit: ^^ did not know it grew to that size overnight! She sent me the picture yesterday. Damn..

 

Another one burning up around Sunflower Mine

 

Crown King mandatory evacuation to Mayer.

 

Man this sux!

 

Well, at least we have another month before the run. The fire should be out, but it will just depend on how bad the winds are and if it spreads to the south side. If they contain it to the north and get it out soon, we should be good.

 

Thats not the first time they have had to Evac to Mayer. That's my hometown. Closest thing to CK. They use my highschool and our football field. They set up tents, emergency crews, fire dept, helo's, etc. I'll see if i can get pics via my mom. She's a teacher and we can see the school and the fire from our house.

 

from our house in mayer. Last night.. then this morning. Mom said they are flying over dumping the slurry.
