Butterfield Overland Route | Arizona to New Mexico
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2024
- Following along the butterfield stage coach route, we check out parts of Arizona and New Mexico that most overlanders don’t see. From ghost towns to abandoned mines we see many different types of geography and land scape. Overlanding is quite popular these days but most don’t have the slightest clue where the term came from. The original overlanders took on the back country with courage, battling Apaches and the lack of natural resources. Overland gear is great but it is not essential when it comes to this hobby. Join me as we take dirt from Arizona desert canyons to New Mexico forests.
Another awesome video son. Great job as always. Forgot to interduce your other crew members, looks like they had a great time and the puppy's were sure happy too. Great history as well. Glad everything went well. Love you Pa!!
Awesome

Calling out those affirm built rigs 😂.
Great storytelling as always, man.
Gotta do it to em! Thanks brother
Love the local history lessons in the actual setting.
Glad you enjoy! Thank yoy
Hi I love your videos.🎉
Johnny! What up when you coming back to Az!!! Expo????
@@Pro4xexpeditions not going to expo. Not sure when.
Keep up with the story telling and sharing the history of the areas your exploring and I'll keep watching!
Glad you can appreciate it, I won’t be stopping any time soon!
Love your videos ❤ ireland
New Subscriber! I love how much information you provide with your journeys. Thank you.
Thanks for subbing!
Very cool vid. Love the Land Cruisers! Good food as well.
The cruisers are hard to beat!
Loving the history knowledge and story telling of your videos. Always interesting to hear about the Native American tribes and their conquests in the area. I’m am also a huge railroad buff due to my family history working mostly Santa Fe lines in Arizona and Southern California. Truck bed sleeper myself, and now a subscriber!
I’m a big rail road buff as well, my uncle worked and retired from Union Pacific. I see the Santa Fe rail road all over my channels that’s bad ass! Thanks for the sub!
Nice video, as usual. As someone fairly new to overlanding who lives in NM, you've given me a lot of good ideas on where to explore here.
That’s what I’m here for, glad I can help!
I feel lucky to discover this post. I grew up in NM and mi ed away. Still miss the backcountry exploits in my dirt bike. Great narrative. I subscribed!
Sorry for the late reply but welcome to the channel and thanks
Welcome to my World Cody!
Love all the history you share in these.
👍🍺thanks for the journey, safe travels
Can you do an episode on planning a trip
Are you sort of saying a video on me giving a break down of how I plan these? I like the idea of so.
@@Whitedogoverland yes, my wife and I are just getting into overlanding and I don’t really know where to start to plan a cool trip like these we end up at some super popular spot with tons and tons of people, which is fine if that is what you are going for but we are looking more for the nature route. We live in Az just south of phx so a lot of the places you go look so cool.
First visit here and loving it! Really enjoy the details and history of the area that you share. Dogs are gorgeous!
Thank you!
Great area to explore.
The Southern Pacific Railroad was the first one thru here in 1880. Then the Union Pacific bought SP in 1996.
Guess who knew that??😅
Loved the trip and seeing the train go by!!
I figured he’d get a kick out of seeing that!
Great adventure. I am in Tanque Verde (Tucson) and am an older man. One of my wishes is to do one of these overland trips. No rock crawling as my old Sequoia isnt lifted. If you guys wouldnt be opposed to have me tag along one day, just get back to me. Thank you.
Would love to bring you along, although a lot of our adventures can get pretty hairy even for the built rigs. Maybe one of these mellow trips I’ll keep you in mind!
Thank you. I would appreciate it.@@Whitedogoverland
Really enjoy your videos. My young, 18mos, pup does as well. She sits and stares at the tv watching white dog.
Keep up the wonderful adventures as well as the history lessons.
Maybe one day we will bump into eachother out on the trail.
Im a newbie from Florida heading out west for summers.
We love New Mexico, Santa Fe NF, and Carson NF.
Glad your dog can support as well! New Mexico is a really special underrated place which I’m okay with. Enjoy your summer out west, I’ll be up that way sometime in July!
Nicely done, really enjoy the context and history, refreshing change to other overlanding videos!!! My first time watching your channel, I'll be back and have subsribed. Love the simplicity, great video and landscape, sooo goodI. . Thank you!!
Thanks for the sub and glad you enjoyed!
Love and light ireland ❤
Thank you for the support! I’m half Irish so love to see it coming from my homeland!
Enjoyed this one a lot. Love the AL quote. I live in Silver City, and there's just no end to epic Gila explorations.
Absolutely. My favorite place in the country, the history of those mountains is as deep as the adventures can go.
ohh , too cool and awesome !
first time we're seeing your video ; I have subscribed and lookin fwd to another ...
keep up your Good work
Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel!
Great video. Thanks!
Love the narratives and respect you have for the wild. Excellent video.
Going to watch it again when I have more time.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Hanging out in my neck of the woods . Raised in this area and is where I call home while driving the globe. I explore this area all the time. Even down to El paso! However my view and many other full-time overlanders are tired of ppl using the term "overlander" . At best they are campers. Most think Utah, Colorado and Arizona is what overlanding is. When you sell everything like I did, leave your family and friends to travel the world then you're good to call yourself a overlander. You are absolutely correct that 99% of the gear these ppl think they need they don't. Most of them build up their truck hang all this expensive crap off the side and have the balls to say they are overlanders😂😂😂 most of them just drive around to look cool and probably don't even know how to put their vehicle in 4 low without looking in the manual. However, I like you and your channel you don't have a fancy rig or gear, don't worry about scratches and you get out there. Happy trails maybe someday we will meet on the trail
It’s surprising how many people don’t know how to get their rig in 4lo, but nowadays people buy off road ready vehicles, equip them with everything and hit the trails twice a year. I only call myself an overlander to gain traction with the niche but definitely feel like I’m just a back country adventurer. There’s a pretty definitive line between an overlander and a weekendlander lol
Another banger brother!
Thanks my man
another great video
Good job 👍🏾
I freaking love your videos bro! We need to wheel some time!
Thanks brother you on Instagram?
@@Whitedogoverland nah man I only have RUclips I should get one again though
@indyhco do it an hit me up on there so we can coordinate somethin!
@@Whitedogoverland hell yeah I'll see to it brotha 👍🏼
What up Cody!!! 🙌🏾👊🏾
Thanks!
You’re awesome, much appreciated!
Great video! I have a 19 Rav4 LE that I am going very budget with that is greatly inspired by your first gen Rav. The wat I see it is it has more ground clearance than my old stock 94 wrangler or stock 94 S10 blazer I would take out and camp out of so it is already an improvement. Im gonna throw on some TRD springs and some inexpensive A/Ts since I can both at whole sale and just go until I have to upgrade something which being in an area of the east coast where most trails are state maintained and there are more highways than dirt shouldn't be much of an issue.
It’s pretty wild how much clearence even a stock rav has. Great cars Forsure, I’ve been tempted to purchase a new one just love the look and loads of parts!
If you didn’t know all the old stagecoach stops are fenced off since the 90s.
I didn’t, that’s a bummer.
Very little about Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company. A few clarifications. Lordsburg and Stein’s Ghost Town didn’t come into existence until 19 years after Butterfield ceased service through New Mexico-Arizona. They were strictly railroad towns. The Bascom affair had nothing to do with the stage line leaving Arizona in March 1861. It was entirely to do with start of the Civil War. The other ghost town he mentions near Lordsburg that he would like to visit is Shakespeare. The tour guide gives a great deal of false history for the town. The Butterfield Trail never went there or was there ever a Butterfield stage station there.
Yeah thanks for some of the clarifications. When I referred to the bascom affair, I was referring to the increasing violence post capture of Cochise family which put a damper on the routes ease of travel since the Apaches no longer allowed for free and clear travel. Shakespear is exactly what I was talking about, interesting they give false info that’s too bad.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos dude! My buddy and my setups have always been of the more affordable sort.
Purely curious, do you run these trails in 2wd and then shift into 4 when things get sketchy or just run 4hi?
I generally always run in 2.
If you ever feel like making a run to TX Big Bend is worth checking out.
Thank you brother. I usually run in 2wd and 4wd uphill to take load off the trans. Definitely want to come check out big bend!
❤❤❤
That road you took once you left Silver City looked epic. Does it have a name? I need to explore that part of SC.
I honestly have no idea, you take the road to the town of gila and it turns to NF and keeps going up into the hills
Great video. The road at the end of the video is Turkey Creek Rd. After crossing the Gila River several times it ends at an old corral with an old windmill. The side tributary is turkey creek. Follow this up to the turkey creek hot springs where some nice pools exist unless they’ve been washed out.
@@Outdoorshep Thanks. I’ll look on Google earth for it. That whole Butterfield route looked interesting. I’ve always thought the mountains N of the AZ/NM border from I10 looked cool. I’ve only explored the area E of Silver City.
you missed the rock paintings along the road you were just on
No way! Which road are you referring to?
About to purchase a 2013 Toyota Tundra Rock Warrior and its completely stock! Where do you recommend i buy my parts? First thing im going to add is a camper. Any suggestions?
Facebook marketplace is where I’ve found 90% of the parts for this rig!
Great video. Are you in Arizona. ?
Thank you! I am in az
@@Whitedogoverland awesome. We just pulled into Pheonix area. Been down in baja for 3 months. Looking to hit some trails in Arizona. Looking at maybe doing the brd route to Utah when we leave.
If want any company on an adventure lets us know.
Been trying to think of a desert route to do next month What’s the chances you could send me with a GPX file? Or point me in the right direction I use Gaia and Onyx both. Is that passable right now in the winter?
Are you on Instagram? I can share my route on there
Thanks
Hello do you every trek with people that have bone stock 4x4s. I am more of set up camp in one place for 3-4 nights and do day trips for fishing and site seeing the white mtns .
Yeah love taking new people out but we’re always moving in the slow chunky stuff! Might not be your thing…
Title of the Video: "Dudes out in remote areas looking for giant holes"
That would be solid clickbait lol
bet you were glad you didn't have a 90K new rig while you were putting oak scrub pinstriping on the sides of your truck during the last leg...
Oh yeah… idk how people can do that, or don’t.. why have a 4wd when you’re reluctant to use it
That train that went by was carrying weapons destined for Ukrania 😅😅
