Anyone Overlanding/Camping in Az in 2023?

All the Az threads are old! Anyone getting out there weekly? Looking for like minded people to run the table with. Thanks for checking!

 

We did 1,500 miles thru Arizona in October in our Minnie Winnie. What a great place to travel! We were in a caravan with neighbors towing travel trailers. 1st stop outside of Yuma, then to Tombstone,
Zane Grey RV Park (Lightening strike in camp as I was walking in camp-knocked out the water pump), then to Sedona (rained for 1 hours), last stop Parker Dam...never seen so many swarming bugs!
Then home to San Diego. The freeways around Pheonix were great, well laid out with excellent signage. No trash, no graffiti. Looking forward to going back. Only disappointment is I didn't find any ammo stores to stock up!

 

Ha! Let me know next time you roll thru I’m a 2 guy and can always assist! Great to hear! I love Az but all the states and parks around Az are amazing also!

 

All AZ threads are definitely not old, you're just looking at the wrong threads. Stop into the BS thread or Weekly Meets thread that are stickied at the top. The AZ forum is quite active.

 

Thanks! I’m still learning this site

 

Agreed. I'm in the extreme west valley and go out once in a while. Not sure what area in the valley you're in.

BTW: I went into one of the threads in the AZ forum and my post was captured, edited into limerick, and then re-posted! Who does this? WTF? Moderator?

 

Fair enough...I just started looking at AZ forums too. I was following the recent trip to Cherry Creek.

 

Because it was 01Apr...

 

I’m in midtown Phx but not afraid to drive and explore!

 

It was an april fools joke, all the posts are back to normal hahaha

Anyone here headed to the West Overland Expo in NAZ? I’ll be up there drinking beer and bourbon! Ha

 

A recent trip to the Moab area. Here are some pics along Lockhart Basin road.

 

how was Lockhart basin? I get highly variable reports…

 

Lockhart Basin was great, there are some challenging spots along the way but nothing real difficult, we took our time in a few spots to work through and there are plenty of rocks around if you need to gain a little clearance to get through. I recommend the trail, its was my second time and the group loved it. Mind you, we did the Top of the World trail the following day which made anything on Lockhart look simple. But back to Lockhart, 33's and a rear locker and you will be fine. We drove the trail from south to north. I highly recommend it.

 

When you were there, what did this section look like? It's the top of the climb, just before you make that hairpin turn.

Here is a pic from our trip, looks like it has changed since your picture.

 

@Sapnjack No wonder why the reports change person by person!

It is recognizable, but definitely more filled in and traversable.

Thanks for the photo @rwinkster

 

lol ya our group had the opposite experience. We flew through top of the world but struggled in Lockhart basin…

 

That is so interesting. I guess its the luck of the draw on the changing trail conditions/rock placements. The challenge kept coming around every turn on the decent section of the Top of the World loop.
