    With the park closed, it was delightful to see this post. A trailer over Mengel pass - you guys are fearless and have great articulation with that small ball hitch/coupler -most 2" ball systems are converted to a lock & load or similar system. Your daughter is having a wonderful childhood!

    Okay, I have enjoyed your videos because they're are more than entertaining. But now I am amazed!! Sarah has got it going on! All kinds of high fives to her. Now I know why she currently does a lot of the driving. Looking forward to the time we can all hit the road again. Keep on doing what you're doing because y'all do it so well. Be safe and stay well.

    My dad and I drove the south pass to Panamint in a 2wd conversion van in 2018. It was an amazing road. We tried to explore a few of the old mines off the road, but they were all gated off about 20 or so feet into the shafts.
    I think my favorite part of that trip was the overnight hike up to the old Panamint city.
    We also broke the shock mount loose trying to go up the road from Ubehebe Crater to racetrack. LOL

    My youngest son and I drove up Goler Wash, into Barker Ranch, and then Mengel Pass to the Geologist cabin and on to Warm Springs this past February. Super awesome! I usually tow a trailer but didn’t have it with me that time. My hat is off to you for going down the east side with a trailer in the dark! Even though there are many trails that are a lot more challenging, what makes Mengel Pass a bit extra exhilarating is the potential severity of breaking something there. You can definitely break a CV joint, driveshaft, or destroy a differential on that trail, and unless you have spare parts, lots of tools, and bush mechanic skills, it could become sketchy. I can’t imagine that you’d be able to get a tow truck out there.

    Great episode. Rode Mengel Pass 5 weeks ago. Surprised you didn't snap a pic or two of Striped Butte. I'd seen it in photos before visiting, but seeing it in person as we crested Mengal Pass was a high point of the trip. Still kicking myself for turning around too soon and missing the geologists cabin. Anyway - great video and thanks!

    • @ailo4x4
      @ailo4x4 4 года назад

      Hey Boss, I hear you. I grew up off-roading in the deserts and mountains of California and Arizona. After retiring from the Navy, most of that overseas, I retired in Texas thinking I would be able to see 'miles and miles of Texas'. I love it here but I truly miss the unfettered access to the BLM land west of El Paso. Big Bend is a great place to get some adventure in. And lots of places to go and see in NM and AZ. It's the best thing in the world for your son, teaching him about self reliant long distance adventure. He will thank you for it. Mine sure have. I dragged my boys across Eastern Europe, Africa, Mexico, and the Middle East and it has made them better men for it. Best of luck riding out Covid 19. Until then, have a Shiner and a rib for me!
