Ed, John, and I attended the 2 day UTV Festival hosted by UTV Off Road Adventures (https://mogollonmountain.utvoffroadadventures.com/. I am reporting back to the Club as to, was the Festival worth the money we paid to attend. Our Leader, Randy, lives in Payson and hosts a site at: https://www.utvsr4therapy.com/. Randy put together a video of our adventure which you can see on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvYejkusaaA. My evaluation is that the event was very well organized and the trails were excellent. The price of $200 included 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner, which had pretty good food. Was it worth it? I would say yes. Their next eventRead More →

We had a great ride last Wednesday but an abandoned pickup completely blocked the trail. I tried to get around it but we all ended up turning around and going back. I got into a little bit of a jam as seen in my video. All was not lost, we saw some spectacular scenery and numerous archeological sites an petroglphys.

As ATV Riders you may want to get involved in this specific issue of 2 roads being closed on the Tonto National Forest. It is well described below by AZ Sportsment of Wildlife Conservation. The issue really is something that the Forest Service can’t really fix. I know because I am retired from the Forest Service. Only Congress designates Wilderness areas and the Forest Service is powerless to change any of the boundary and they cannot move the road so the only recourse they have is to close it. Which, in this instance will be very unfortunate and is something I, personally, don’t want toRead More →

Because of the rain, snow, and cold weather being forcasted I have cancelled this ride. I have put up a new ride off the Bloody Basin Road going to 6 BAR Ranch and also to a archelogical site for Novemer 2. Check it out and register if you are interested. I will cap the ride to 10 rigs.

This was a great ride even thought it was not always easy. We had to “bushwack” our way through several channel crossings and it was dark when we got back to the staging area and we had one breakdown but no one was hurt and we did all get back so that is a Success. We were all tired but I think we all appreciated the experience. I want to thank Ed Schock for leading us. I put together a video of some of the harder parts of the trail. Please click on the following link to view my video. https://www.facebook.com/100003027115023/videos/835518784137037/ Keith MenascoRead More →
We had a great 4 day ride on the northern half of the Peace Trail. Sal’s side x side broke down on the 3rd day and we had to leave it at Golden Shores. He rode the rest of the way with me to Kingman and then back to Wikieup. We did some hard riding but I think everyone enjoyed the adventure. I created a couple of videos, one of the Secret Pass Canyon area and one of the Hualapai Mountains area south of Kingman. Here are links: https://clipchamp.com/watch/8YyiKSZm4ue and https://clipchamp.com/watch/XQI5euh8B5J. Enjoy! Keith MenascoRead More →
A member had to cancel and will not be going on the Vermilion Cliffs Ride (November 1 -4). They had reservations at Cliff Dwellers and anyone who wishes to go on this ride may be able to get reservations. Of course if you want to bring an RV, you could reserve a place for this ride.
