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 →

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 →

For our sport, recovery gear is essential. Everyone needs to have a recovery kit they (or someone they are riding with) can depend on. I didn’t know the difference between tow straps and recovery tow straps. Other than the price, I think we need the “recovery” straps. I didn’t know there were things like synthetic shackles that are as good as a steel or aluminum shackles but are flexible like rope. I am sure there are many sources for good gear. Some items you can get from Walmart or Harbor Freight for a good price but I think it is worth looking at suppliers youRead More →
