PHX - Baja in AZ Dualsport Ride

Leaving Oatman, we headed for Chloride.



Awesome stream bed. Steve D. is a manly man for completing this ride on a KLR650!



Great scenery!

We met up with Sully in the chase truck at the highway crossing.



Last of the riders coming in.



Back on the trail.





Quick stop at the Wayfarer's Inn.

Coming up on the next road crossing.



The tube on Paul's bike BLEW UP! We waited patiently why they repaired the tube and caught back up.



The next section of trail was incredible!

Arriving in Chloride.



jrproper was HUN-GRY!!



Lunch at Yesterday's.





PHXMAN LOVES THE MONTE CRISTO!!!



Nightstalker is quite fond of the monte cristo too.



Monte Cristo with sweet potato chips.

On the trail to Windy Point.



jrproper at 60 mph.



Twisty roads to the top.

The view from Windy Point.

Heading down the back side of the mountain to the Chloride Murals.



EsconDeasy and jrproper admire the murals.



Nightstalker is in deep thought. What does it all mean, Basil?



I suppose this is the answer.

Another hour of high speed dirt and we were back at the motel mixing cocktails.



The plan was to go to the bar and watch Supercross. How many taxis does it take to get 15 guys to the bar?? Three. Too bad Kingman only has two cabs!





Steaks and beers and Supercross, oh my!!



That completes day 2. Day 3 still to come!

awsum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This ride was awesome and a great alternative to Baja. I'm always amazed at how many miles of back roads are out there just waiting to be ridden in Arizona and for this trip we did just about 500 miles of those roads/trails.

EsconDeasy put in a ton of hours planning this ride and his hard work and attention to details really paid off. There were no bad wrecks, only 1 flat tire, and nobody got lost which is the real amazing part. Bump and run does work!

The best part of the whole ride? That would have to be the riders. Just a good fun ride with everybody doing their part.

Oh yeah, this is one of those rides I'm doing more than once

I rode the elefant up there a few years ago. Was my KC sticker still on the sign?

The place in chloride has a little hotel too that is cool to stay at.

Day 3 started much the same as the previous day, albeit just a bit slower.



We immediately started climbing into the Hualapai mountains south of Kingman.

Nightstalker on the prowl.



Stopping for a break.



That looks like a bunch of guys having a good time!!

This road went on for like 37 miles.











We started our descent.

Boriana Mine Ruins - a former tungsten mine.





More happy riders.





It's a BIG mine.

Some pretty flowers.



Regrouping at a split.



Onion mountain.



Long steep rocky climb.

Heading down into Wikieup.

Another mine.







Wikieup!!

Awesome!

Looks like killer country.
