Thanksgiving to all
Havasu 4Wheelers
and their
families! We who enjoy the
great outdoors and wide open
spaces have a lot to be
thankful for, with all the lands
that are open for us to play in.
It is an ongoing challenge to
keep these lands open, but along with other access advocates we
will strive to hold on to the freedom of the open trails that we
currently enjoy. And speaking of freedoms, we must thank our
veterans for all of the freedoms that we currently enjoy. The best
way to say thank you is to participate in the Veteran‟s Day parade
on November 11th. Willie Williams is leading our group this year,
so even if you didn‟t sign up, please show up and show our support
to all of our fine veterans!
We have many activities coming up, and first on the agenda is the
Trail Access Partnership Tour. Del Albright from the Blue
Ribbon Coalition will be in Lake Havasu on Tuesday November
8th at Mohave Community College Room 600 from 6pm to 8pm.
You will have an opportunity to meet Del and Stacie Albright,
premier access advocates along with various sponsors and
journalists from different Off Road publications. We will have an
opportunity to share what we as a club are doing here in Lake
Havasu as well as the work of the other area 4x4 clubs.
The next day, Wednesday November 9th at 6pm the BLM is
hosting a Havasu Travel Management Plan public open house at
the Aquatic Center. This meeting is informational and intends to
share with the public the progress that the BLM is making on the
Travel Management Plan. Come and see where we stand on any
possible trail closures.
November 10th is our semi-annual desert cleanup, and we will hit
the area around Paseo Del Oro again, since it seems to get the
most debris.
We are also going to have lots of fun coming up which includes the
annual Turkey Roast and Jeep Games November 13 th at Campbell
Ranch. Jim and Joanne Malara are hosting this year, so please
help them any way you can and come and enjoy the fun.
Campbell Ranch is located at the end of Chemhuevi, and the fun
starts at 3:00 with the Jeep Games, and dinner will be served at
5pm.
We have a lot going on, so sign up, show
up and lets have a fun November!
Happy Trails, Cheryl

A
gorgeous drive on a classic mountain mining road
was waiting for seven jeeps that left Terribles at
95/40 Friday, October 7, at 8:05 a.m. with nine
members. We aired down near Alamo road and Boriana
Mine road. With blue skies and cool weather we arrived at
Boriana Mine for a fish count and our second stop. Along
the way we noted Escalator and Upper Moss wash trails
and stopped for lunch at the half way mark. The short trail
to lunch is under large virgin pines. Near the end of Flag
Mine road we saw a least 6 elk grazing. 34.5 miles after air
down we ended our run in the Hualapai Mountain Lodge
parking lot. Everyone was on there way home by 2:40 p.m.
Thank you Ladell and Judy Olson for being tail gunner and
Jim Bowen for carrying the AED.

hat a beautiful day in the mountains! The
weather in the Hualapais was absolutely
perfect! While it is still hot down in LHC-it was great in the Hualapais!
The Serpent's Tail starts just south of the mountain
lodge and winds it's was along the spine and down into
some canyons on the west side of the peaks. The trail
was in very good shape after the summer rains except
for one tree branch that was partly broken and hanging
down onto the trail. The branch was nicely pruned to
prevent further damage to the tree and vehicles passing
underneath it. We had no problems and did stop to
check on one of the geocaches our club placed 2 years
ago. There had been some folks register that had found
the "cache". We continued along part of the "Black
Inky Trail" and were back to the highway around 3:30.
Jim Bowen, Trail Boss
Our sincere condolences from the
entire membership go out to
Tom & Margie Christiansen with
the passing of her Brother…
Also to Bob & Wanda Scholl

Walnut Canyon Escalator
S
even jeeps left Terribles Friday, October 14 at 8:00
a.m. with 14 members. We topped off and aired
down at exit 66 Blake Ranch Road. Our first stop
was near Democrat Mine for a vehicle inspection along
Antelope Wash . A short second stop was along Flag Mine
Road and we continued on to our lunch spot, top of
Escalator. A short safety meeting took place after lunch to
discuss driving Escalator. With all the recent traffic
Escalator was in great shape and a piece of cake. We
continued on through the survivalist area and our next stop
to view the petroglyphs. Next stop was our air up area near
Griffin road on ramp. Air down to air up was 40 miles and
we were on our way home shortly after 3:00. Thank you
Judy and Ladell Olsen for being tail gunner. Thanks again
to Jim Bowen and all his wisdom.

Goat Hill Passage
ure felt good to back to jeeping after the summer
break, and apparently a few other people felt the
same way because there were 17 jeeps on the run. I
had hoped that by the 18th of October the weather would be a
little cooler, but with the little breeze we all survived.
Great start to the run……everyone made it up the beginning
sand hill which has a reputation of stopping a few people
dead in their tracks. A little farther down the trail we even
had a few brave souls who took on the extra credit soft, sandy
down hill.
With this run we usually see a lot of burros, but since the
BLM has recently rounded up 57 of them we didn‟t expect to
see any, but much to our surprise someone spotted 7 of them.
On the run we stopped at the Boulder Mine that the club had
fenced off last year. Someone on the run commented that
some of the fencing is missing already. What a shame since
the club work crew put forth so much effort to make the
desert safe for everyone.
The run was uneventful until after lunch. A call came over
the radio that something was dragging on Bill Farr‟s jeep.
Upon inspection it turned out that the weld at the right front
axle tube had given way, and the lower control arm was what
they saw dragging. Luckily the resident mechanic, Ladell
Olson, was along and had the necessary equipment and know
how to put a band aid on the problem so Bill could get out of
the desert. A special Thank You to Ladell for fixing the
problem and to the two other jeepers who escorted Bill out of
the desert.
What a great group of people on the run. They didn‟t even
pick on me for making a couple wrong turns. Not only did
Ladell do a great job with the mechanical repairs but was
also my tail gunner. Thank You.

Cattail Cove Run
ctober 20, 2011, what a beautiful morning, and
seventeen jeeps and eager occupants waiting to
go. We left Sara Park after a brief drivers
meeting to air down location. All but two drove up and
over the Wall of Death, and from here we were off to a
good start. The trail was a little dusty however, and it
may be noted that 98% of the vehicles went over every
one of the obstacles with only a moderate amount of
spotting, which made my job much easier. So - - THANK YOU, THANK YOU. After an early lunch,
we started back, and everyone again did a great job, so
to keep the boredom level down I decided to add in
some extra credit‟s with NO SPOTTING, thinking this
will for sure slow down the pace and be a good exercise
in picking lines. The down side of this idea is that it
may also be a little intimidating to some, and they may
just go around. After the first obstacle I looked back in
the rearview mirror, and just like a pack of lemmings,
they all followed me up and over all of the extra
credit‟s, I couldn‟t believe it ! WOW WHAT A
GREAT JOB BY ALL, very impressive. And then the
leader poked a hole in the side of his tire, and while I
repaired it at the entrance of the Bowling Alley, Gary
and Diana Bullard led the group, and I met up with
them at the exit. From here on it was easy going to our
air up location with John Strong leading the way to a
place north of the entrance, as a little side trip.
Thank you to Ed Heil for tail gunning.

October 22nd & 23rd, 2011
ctober 22, 9am 4 jeeps met at the Avi parking lot and headed to the Mohave Trail.
It was decided to bypass Fort Piute due to the time factor and the rough road to the remains of the fort. We
headed through Lanfair Valley stopping at the Piute Gorge overlook for lunch. After leaving the overlook we
saw a group of Jeeps in the distance which turned out to be a group of River Cities 4-wheelers out for the day.
We drove through an area thick with Joshua Trees and Cholla which was quite beautiful until we got to Cedar Canyon
Road where we stopped at a 70+ year old Rock House. After about 75 miles of travel we found a flat open area to camp
where we built a campfire to enjoy before turning in for the night.
The next morning we awoke to the sounds of coyotes in the distance and broke camp to start a new day. We drove
across Soda Dry Lake after each picking up a rock to deposit at the Traveler‟s Monument. After leaving the dry lake we
hit several miles of soft sand in which we had to drive over at a high rate of speed. The second two jeeps were briefly
separated from the first two since we didn‟t want to slow down in the sand. We all caught up before heading into
Afton Canyon which is quite beautiful, but much of it is now closed to motor vehicle traffic. We had lunch under a
train trestle at the Afton Canyon Campgrounds where we ended the run and headed back to Highway 15 and home.
Thanks to Steve and Kathy Perry for tailgunning.

A
Highway Clean Up
nother successful highway clean up was accomplished by 19 hardy volunteers on Monday,
October 24th. I really think our stretch of adopted
Highway 95 (between mile posts 166 and 168) is the
cleanest of all the “adoptions”! We were lucky to have
beautiful sunny skies (which were borderline too warm) for
our laborious endeavors. A few donuts and orange juice
were enjoyed prior to the safety briefing. Then decked out
in safety vests and armed with grabbers and waters we hit
the highway to see what treasures and trash we could
remove. After 2 hours we had the highway in pristine
condition and although no one found any “lunch money”
this time we were all delighted that 38 bags of trash were
no longer occupying our roadsides.
Copper Head – Ca.
n October 25th, eight jeeps arrived at Sara Park,
and after a brief drivers meeting we proceeded to
our air down location, on the Ca. side of the river
near Cross Roads. I thought we were in trouble from
the get go, as I lost our tail gunner. After a short search
and rescue mission he was found (missed the turn off
and was headed to Earp). O.K. all accounted for, we
were on our way. And I must say that everyone did a
great job with all of the obstacles in the canyon. We
stopped for lunch on top the Copper Basin over look,
that afforded a nice gentle breeze on this warm day. We
then continued on, and upon reaching the intersection of
Bowman Wash and Bennett Wash, we were stopped by a
BLM sign indicating AREA CLOSED – WILDERNESS
AREA with large boulders placed across the trail
leading to Bennett Wash. Which of course is the latter
part of this run, and some very beautiful country. So
being the good guys that we are, we exited the area via
Bowman Wash, and the run was over approx. 1 ½ hrs.
early. Sorry folks, but that‟s the way it goes.
Thanks to our tail gunner Ed Heil, and to Ladell Olson
for plugging a ripped tire for Al Pepper.

Safety Rant of the Month – – ET call home!
Cellular phone coverage in the Space Age –
As common as it is today almost nobody is out of touch anymore. With emails, faxes, cellular phones, answering
machines, texting, pagers, house phones, and voicemail its absolutely inconceivable that anybody, and I mean
absolutely anybody could be out of touch or unreachable by some sort of wazoo communications device. Well that is
true for just about anywhere – except the very places where we Havasu 4 Wheelers go Jeeping. Holy Marconi
radio boys and girls, what possibly is going on here? What do you mean no phone service? Didn‟t we just spend
$800 billion to fix everything & now life is now wonderful? Well that‟s another story but as far as communications
in our desert area goes its slim pickings in some places!
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile - they all claim great coverage - but if you go on to their sites and check
coverage maps you‟ll notice that once you are in Standard Wash, on the back side of the Mohaves, or in the
Hualapais Mountains you are out of luck – and stuck with your CB radio. And with a CB you‟re lucky to get out a
few miles – even in open territory - but if behind a small hill or in a gulley forget it.
What‟s a H4W‟er to do if he needs to talk to someone?
And let‟s say it‟s a full blown emergency and we need H –E-L-P! Here‟s your list of options:
Try
your CB on the usual club frequency (27) and then on Channel 9, the FCC assigned emergency frequency.
Turn your squelch till you hear static – this lets more reception in as signals will be weak. Lastly try 19, the
trucker channel. They‟re always listening.
Drive to the closest high ground and try the CB again. Hike up higher to see if you can acquire a cellular phone
signal.
Buy a HAM radio and get HAM licensed. (Obviously before you go! Cost $200 and up. We have a few “Hams” in
the club).
Buy a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). A what? Well it‟s kind of like an electronic carrier pigeon
that carries a note saying who you are, exactly where you are, and “Emergency - send help
now!” It sends a radio signal from you straight up to a satellite, broadcasting who you are and
your exact GPS coordinates. This information is then immediately relayed to a ground station that
then alerts public safety rescue personnel in your area to respond. The response you get will be a
full blown rescue response – and could even amount to paramedics arriving in a rescue helicopter.
Now that‟s a response! But it is an all or nothing option. Not to be used „cause you stubbed your
toe or are cold.
And do like I always do – pack extra sandwiches and take your friends with you!
Hualapai Peaks

Oct. 10, 2011
hile the weather was still warm in LHC--the
weather was beautiful in the Hualapais!
We started out around 2,800 feet and went up
over 6,000 feet to some of the best views in the area on the
west side of the Hualapai Mountains. We had lunch at an
old corral and then stopped to check out one of the
"geocashes" our club has put out. There was only one
name in the last year (it may be in a bit rough a trail area
for the average person!) The trail was in pretty good
shape with only very minor pinstripping from some gentle little bushes that very carefully wipped some of the
dust off our Jeeps.

RATING
DESCRIPTION
1
EASIEST: Passable by stock vehicles. Gentle fairly wide grades.
2
EASY: Use of 2 wheel and some 4-wheel drive. Trail may have some rocks, loose road surface, and ruts but a reasonable line for driving.
3
EASIEST MODERATE: 4-wheel drive with aggressive tire treads. Expect a rough road with rocks and sand that requires lower tire pressure.
Substantial sections of single lane.
3¼
MODERATE: Some 4 wheel driving experience needed. Same as above with some use of high and low range gearing. These trails have a
rough, rutted surface, rocks and deep sand. Sections may be steep enough to cause traction problems, narrow shelf roads with steep drop
-offs and tight clearance between rocks.
3½
HARDER MODERATE: For experienced drivers. 33” tires with aggressive tire tread, one locked differential, high and low range gearing.
Potentially dangerous, large rocks, ruts, steep slopes, loose surface and narrow clearances that need to be negotiated.
3¾
HARDEST MODERATE: Skilled experienced drivers only. Same as above with both differentials locked, Some strapping/winching. Very
challenging sections, extremely steep grades, loose surfaces, large rocks, deep ruts and tight clearances.
4
DIFFICULT: Highly skilled experienced drivers only. Same as above with belly up, 4 to 1 transfer case or equivalent, skid plates, beefed up
axles and suspension system. Probable strapping/winching. Vehicle width and wheelbase should be considered. Possible body damage.
5
HARD: All of the above. Probable body damage.
