Finally cleaning out my video camera. This is raw footage from a trip last winter out to the Gap in Oracle, Az. This trail is a blast...but it had rained 8+ inches up on Mt. Lemmon which feeds the CDO river and the rest is history....

The first obstacle! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtNmN8CSYV4)
I was on the wrong line which I didn't know til watching the vid...should of been way further to the passenger side!

The bypass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79oq66hbJ6g) to that nasty little wall!

Me on the "bypass" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9NWZEwoAdE)

The SHALLOW river crossing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32erXg1RcGo)(they got worse til we finally had to turn back). The trail follows this river. Also there was a VERY stuck Avalanche in the river making it impassable!:eek:

The river runneth! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lXitclBuC4)

Me crossing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUSxV-2icQs)

Some more river (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYN9kDwEiM)

Very NIce Billy. My wife has been on a lot of those trail when she was a kid. Her dad used to take her in his Scout when they lived in Oracle.

I did hear the words Solid Axle Swap. Im still waiting for someone to deliver on that. Between you Justin and Beau I'm interested in seeing who completes first.
