Whipper says 24 miles in and out. not too bad. lots of ledges and steps. its been 12 to 15 years since we have been their. the COKE OVENS were used to burn mesquite wood to a coke for the processing of gold and silver.
-
Those look neat, and sounds like quite an adventure to get there. Did you get permission from the property owner to be there? I read that it is on 189 acres of private property. I know you wouldn't trespass. whistling Apparently it has been posted but people keep removing the signs and some think they have to take pieces home with them or vandalize it in some way. Idiots like that ruin it for everyone. Hope you guys had a good time on your adventure.
-
Man You guys have really Neat places to ride !!!
-
Got lots of great videos, need some time to edit.
What a ride, cost me a wheel.

Looking foward to the videos. Sucks about the wheel.

thats why we have six. if that was a side X side it would have been a short day.
-
That should buff out. hilarious Is there video of this when it happened?
-
I'm sure it will buff right out. Here's a better shot.

Probably because it was the center wheel, not carrying much of a load with all 6 on the ground. Those tires are pretty tough also.
-
I CAN FIX THAT !!! 8)
It is What we do at ReWheel ! ;)
Or You can just give it to me ! I will pay postage whistling
-
Ouch!
How'd it happen?
-
Whipper, do you make your own wheels?
-
I do if that helps ? 8)
-
Ouch!

He said he was just blasting along and it got bent, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED. must have been a ghost rofl
-
This 1st video starts out about 8:30am. WFO took off first. I let him get ahead
to let the dust settle.
He was waiting for me at the entrance to Box Canyon.

I bet it was one of those jumping cactus that got the Model Citizen a few years ago!
-
I kinda like a little dust when riding. Makes it easier to know which way the guy I'm following went. Come to a fork in the road & it would be a crap shoot for me. :-\
-
Here's video #2
The start of Box Canyon. Thank you Tom Petty,
See if you can figure out which rock I hit, on the Driver side.
It was a good enough hit to bend the top trailing arm, which made the wheel
point to the outside. WFO took care of that. banana banana banana banana
Funny, the same thing that bent it, fixed it. dance dance dance
We put the bent wheel in the middle and went on to the Coke Ovens.

4:06 is where you found that rock. That vid makes me look like a jack hammer on that upper control arm. yea thats it do it again. banana
-
You couldn't tell from the way the machine drove after that there was a problem. I watched at 4:06 and there was a bit of jumping around but it did not look so bad.
Was the side-by-side guy riding with you or just a good Samaritan?
-
the guy in the SXS was traveling thru. HEY WHIPPER NEXT TIME WILL INSTALL A PAIR OF THESE.

I have watched the last video & STILL can't tell which rock did it. And believe me, I know how to find a rock. hilarious There were sooo many jutting out on the driver's side. At least it didn't ruin their ride. And WFO... quite impressive pecs for an ole man. ;) banana

I Heard thy was making Senior Go Pros hilarious

We straightened out the upper arm and put the bent wheel in the middle.
Good to Go. Coke Ovens here we come.

This is the 4th video of the ride. Most of the trail was just plain gnarly. I made it there & back on 5 wheels. ;D We took a different trail when we left the Coke Ovens. That saved us from having to go back up some of the stair steps. banana banana banana banana banana banana banana popcorn popcorn popcorn

WHAT A RIDE. banana banana

I know someone who tried to go last weekend.
They didn’t make it. Had some trouble and made a wrong turn.
Got lost. dance dance dance
-
who was it. very easy to get lost with all those spur roads. my first time out their in 98" I was 2 miles east of the ovens and had a hell of a time finding the beaten path again. ended up driver down the R/R tracks for awhile. but I did have plenty of Coronas.
-
Well WFO, at least you planned ahead and had plenty to drink for such an emergency. banana
-
WOW Whipperag I see why you built suspension for your Max. That is a ROUGH RIDE.
