NEVERENOUGH 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Well my buddy and I did it we made our first sxs trip and it was a blast. We put 231 miles on the sxs and only about 19 of that was pavement. I was traveling in my 2008 Kawasaki Teryx and he has a 4 seat Polaris RZR XP. We left my house in Chino Valley and headed to Williams for our first night. As we were cooking dinner and the sun was setting the temps dipped into the 20s. I think it got down to 21 that night. Here is a pic of camp the first night.

NEVERENOUGH 0 Posted May 8, 2013 The second day we woke up early and broke camp this would be the day of the most riding. First stop was the round mountain fire lookout tower. The views from the tower were amazing. After the tower we headed to Sycamore Point again the views are pretty cool. After a few pictures and a snack we headed to White Horse Lake but since it was closed we opted to keep going. We stopped at Sycamore Falls which is a well know rock crawling area. I am not a big fan of heights so we didn't stay long lol. We headed to Dog Town Lake to fish a little and eat lunch. We didn't do very good fishing but the Ospree(not sure how that is spelled) caught their limit. After lunch we headed to Williams to gas up and get a few need supplies. This was the only pavement riding and was necessary. After gassing up we headed over Interstate 40 to look for the next nights camp. Here are a few pics of Friday.

NEVERENOUGH 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Saturday we woke up a little later it was not nearly as cold the second night so I slept much better lol. This day we planned to head from Williams to Ash Fork to try our hand at fishing at Stone Damn a nice little hidden gem. After Fishing we headed back to Williams to top off with gas and then start to back track. We did have time to make a few stops the most interesting was JD cabin and also to check out his grave site. Ok here are a few pics of Saturday's adventure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NEVERENOUGH 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Saturday night we camped at the same spot we did the first night. My buddy had to get back to Phoenix on Sunday. Sunday was a pretty fasted paced ride with not a lot of picture taking. So all in all it was a great trip. I did learn a few things that will make the next one easier. After I got home the wife even mentioned she might like to try a similar trip this summer so I am in the planning stages for that. Hope you enjoyed my little write up and I look forward to your comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guardrail 1 Posted May 8, 2013 That looks like a really cool trip. I was wondering if you might have a GPS track of it, or if you could point out maybe on Google Earth where the cabin was and where the overlook for (I guess it was) Sycamore Creek. The photo where your looking down into the canyon. Looks like ahmo haf ta do some 'splorin' up deyah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
