One of my friends from NM, Brian, was out at KOH and I was talking to him about some dirt road trips he had done. He mentioned that he would be in AZ for a few trips and would keep me posted.
I got the call about a trip to The Devil's Highway. I have heard about this from a few Jeep people at my gym. It sounded a little like the Mojave Road and could be a fun weekend.

After doing some reading and calling, I found out that you need a free permit to cross the Goldwater range as well as the Cabeza Prieta Refuge. The only issue is that you have to get it in person and watch a vid before the permit will be issued. The office hours are till 3:30 M-F... Govt have better hours than a banker. SMH...

As of now the plan is to leave work at 10 on Thursday. Hit the Road by 11am so I can get to Ajo and get the permit before they close for the day.
I will be camping near the start of the trail Thursday and then start the trail on Friday. Camping along the way Friday and Sat. Drive home Sunday.

I will be rolling in the Dodge. Im not at a point I 100% trust the Jeep. I don't want to be that guy miles from nothing.

Dates: March 17-20th
Leaving Chandler at 11am on 17th and heading to Ajo.
Drive home from Yuma on the 20th

Thanks for letting me know about it and the details. Sorry it's the weekend of Noel's event.

Sounds like fun and I look forward to hearing the write up / review of the trip. If it's fun, we can do it again as a group with the Fool Sizes!

yah that does sound fun, dates dont work for me right now but itd be a good future one

Avis had something come up so I called a friend from the gym and He couldn't be more excited to go. Its been on his list to do but could never get anyone to go. He is brining his Rubicon and bacon... lots of bacon!

We will roll out at 11 and head to Ajo to get the permits. Then its hookers and blow till the NM peeps show up.

Sad to miss it, have fun!

Was it the stipulation of having to sign a government form?

And the Rubi is out... Meh.

Why does "rubi" and "out" sound so familiar...?
