A mild off-road trip is planned for those who want to travel from Oatman back to Laughlin through the desert.

Is that for the January 06 Laughlin GTG?

Sure is sperry. Hope to see you there!

Av'n It,

In.?

For anyone considering the off-roading thingy.

We got our best pictures of the weekend there.? The desert background looks awesome!? A lot of members are using the Oatman Pix's in their sigs, etc.

BTW: you don't need a 4x4 to join in on this one.? We had several 2WD's in on it last year.

It'll only add a week to the detailing. Watching the other's play offroad get's my Av dirtier.. >:D
 
Eleven miles per the highlighted part of these maps.
The rest is paved.

The dirt road is 2WD easy unless some recent weather tears it up. Even some offroads are within 2WD.

Not a problem anyway - - tow straps and plenty of other Av's.

RikRotorhead may have enough spare tires this time too.

A car wash is nearby and not far from the hotel lot for a dry off & touch up. Just allow for some daylight time unless you're OK with parking lot lighting. :rolleyes:

Good answer sperry.
There are a few opportunities along the way to do a little heavier off-roading if you so desire. Like sperry said, its really a 2wd trail.

Av'n It,
Todd
 
And even then, I'll be there. :)

I have a California duster I use for my frame, so I'll be OK.. (It works in AZ, too!) :rolleyes:
 
I will not be able to make it...  :mad:  but thought I would share that the Christmas Tree Pass between Laughlin and Las Vegas is a nice drive.  It would have been much better in an Avalanche, but I took it in a rental Impala earlier this year.....  I was only concerned a few times...  >:D

Enjoy your GTG!!
 
Zuler and I dropped down into a wash and followed it for quite a distance. It was soft in some spots, but fun and good scenery.

I still have some mud stains on my frame. I can send samples to anyone that can't make it, but feels left out.
 
I did the offroad back the first year. Cruised the pavement last year.. not sure about this year yet.

Thanks KC_Steve.. Wish you could make it!

You buy a $35K truck, and you use it. Get your money's worth, then trade it in for a new one!

It's your natural born right to get dirty!

Dusty trails I can go for!

Todd, you are getting old.

I'm praying for rain when we hit that dirt!

I guess I'll always be young at heart. Works for me!

What was I thinking?!? It does was off..
Here's to hoping for a rain cloud to follow the offroaders back :cheers:
 
I'll bring a spare toothbrush, in case some mud(d) get's on my frame..
 
That's the spirt!

You had a huge grin on your face last year when you were splashing in the mud!

You're still getting old tho', just like me........


But here's to dirty old men!!  :cheers:

Nobody wants to live a clean life! It's no fun!  :beating:

You might want to bring a WaterPiK for those hard to reach places...  :eek:
 
Hey Todd!!

Don't forget to call this guy and ask him if we can splash in the puddles!!
