Sometime this summer at least three older CJ5s are heading out of Phoenix, AZ to the South Rim of The Grand Canyon, across the CA border to King’s Canyon Park, then up the coast to Big Basin Redwoods Park. & meandering back via NV.
I grew up on a ranch bordering Big Basin & while I haven’t been back in decades the plan is to actually leave the Jeeps behind overnight & take the Skyline To The Sea trail on horseback. Returning to our rented cabins the following day... totally exhausted!
After recovering, we will head back to AZ via Nevada with a few stops in ghost towns like Bodie, CA.
The plan is to get as much video as we can then edit it down to just the highlights.
More people would be more fun... But I hogged all the Jeeps. lol.
I’m way too old for this but going anyway.
