4x4tographer 2,727 Posted January 26, 2021 Day 1 Fun | Tucson Wash Hanging out at the train bridge trestle: @johnpa @4x4tographer @gearhead @Trail Toy @shellback91 @theksmith @johnpa looking imposing in his new rig (so shiny!) Group shot from a pretty tight slot canyon: @shellback91 @Trail Toy @theksmith This was shot with a 16mm lens, which is pretty wide and really doesn't do the canyon justice. KSmith acting like a mountain goat The view from the peak of a nearby unnamed butte at 3,790 ft. In the distance is Table Mountain, Martinez Mountain, and the Holy Joe Rim Trail that we ran later on Sunday. Another view from the butte looking South. John pushing through an interesting "squeeze and ledge" in the Tar Wash Canyon on our way out off the Tucson Wash Trail. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4x4tographer 2,727 Posted January 26, 2021 Day 2 | Things got interesting: Holy Joe Rim Trail & Smelter Wash The mountains were shrouded in cloud, rain, and sleet. This view of of Table Mountain, of which the top is completely hidden. The squad lined up @theksmith @shellback91 @4x4tographer @johnpa & Gunny tail gunned for us both days, making sure nobody screwed up and drove off a cliff TheKSmith waiting for us to finish taking pictures This shot is looking off towards the towering skyline of Mammoth, AZ Note the clouds mowwing down on some mountains to the left. John, still looking (mostly) shiny. Eventually the weather started to build up and the rain became pretty continuous. The trail got pretty sloppy in a few places with a lot of steep descents/ascents into gullies. John, looking (sorta) muddy. @shellback91 lined up below a strange cinderblock cabin on one of the peaks. Later on, we gassed up and hit the Smelter Wash Trail, which has several pretty interesting tunnels which made for some great photos By the end of Smelter Wash, the rain turned to sleet. The sleet turned to snow. When we were airing up, the temps had dropped to the mid-30's and we had some decent snowflakes! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzJeepChic 2,441 Posted January 26, 2021 Awesome pictures you guys, looks like a fun trip! I wonder what that cinder-block building out in the middle of nowhere was for? How was camping - were you able to have a fire, stay dry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what that cinder-block building out in the middle of nowhere was for? How was camping - were you able to have a fire, stay dry? Kris ventured up there and said it was just a building with half a roof which we all found strange. Camping was great, @theksmith found us a perfect spot on the Putnam Wash Trail. We had a good fire and stayed dry. It only sprinkled a little overnight which beat having a downpour of course. @johnpa said he heard someone or something messing around with the abandoned cabins aluminum siding in the middle of the night which was kinda creepy. 😱 But then again when you are sleeping in a tent a 10 pound critter can sound like Sasquatch. 🤣 Edited January 26, 2021 by shellback91 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
