XORventures with My Dog and My Jeep
United States
Registrace 3. 08. 2012
XORventures - eXpore On Road, eXplore Off Road, eXtreme Off Road adVentures. My passion has always been surfing. Over the past 14 years, exploring this great country of ours along with playtime in the dirt and on the rocks has broadened my horizons. My dog and I have journeyed through many of our 50 states. Off-roading includes California, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. We have also been to Gettysburg, the Great Lakes and traveled Hwy 50 and the entirety of Route 66. My plans are to continue our travels to reach all lower 48 states and revisit past locations. Come along with us virtually to re-live places you have been and learn of new places you may not have ever considered going. My dog was struck with SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) April 2023 at the young age of 9 and is now blind. He has adapted well and still excited with traveling in my Jeep. Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
Return to Gold Mountain
Headed back to Gold Mountain. The last time I was there, the gate was locked. I thought locked gates meant keep out. I later found out that the locked gate, in this case, meant that it's ok to proceed if you can make it over the rock pile.

I have not run Heartbreak Ridge in over 10 years. A friend asked me about it recently, so I thought it might be time to run it again. I was well worth the trip.

Area 52. UFOs? Aliens? What's really out here?
It gets worse lol. Slow down and listen to your spot😢ter, take the bypasses and you'll be fine
@lindamoser2532 no bypass there. Wouldn't use it if there was.
Awesome location
You are getting pretty handy with the drone!
@Robert_J_Dyer_Photography it seems to cooperate better when I use the Android with the controller vs iPhone.
What size tires are you running on that beast?
Just 37s. Any bigger and Dana 60s are needed. Big expense for those.
Good seeing you both again. Are you gonna get that 4X4 Vet for Carrie?
@@jefflyons7144 I offered.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉😅
Thanks! I guess I'm still older than you.
@@XORventures 🤣
Cody cam was too cool 🤙/ thanks for sharing this adventure….a bucket list hopefully tackled soon
@ericnunn8856 hope you can make it up there soon. Definitely worth it.
As previously commented the new gate keeper is because forestry was having to recover cars and because people were illegally harvesting firewood out there. Now I think I'm going to run it backwards though.
@davidbeeman8501 Definitely. The trail is short enough to run it in both directions. And too fun to pass that up. I finally made it back up there to drive over that Gatekeeper. New video coming soon.
Cadillac Hill definitely deserves its reputation. The camera doesn't do justice to how steep it is.
Looking forward to doing it again someday, now that I know the terrain a little.
Thank you, this series was great. I really enjoyed the pace and style.
Much appreciated.
🐾
Love the shout out!!!! hahahahah Your narrating is great! So awesome watching your videos.
@nickbreakseverything thanks! I'm almost afraid to watch yours, but they pull me in. I did Corral Canyon many years ago. But not those spots. That was insane for a pickup truck.
Big sluice technically starts where you saw the marker, @ 10:56 that was decision tree
@@Lazylabfj40 hoping to run that again.
Nice video. Great scenery. Good job!
@@patrickgerard1 thanks!
@@patrickgerard1 thanks!
Thanks for the shoutout with me and my Ranger lol. Going to upload whole video and story this week. 😄
@nickbreakseverything Glad you made it out. I told everyone you have some mad driving skills. Don't tell me how you got out. I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing how you did it. Love your channel name.
Let me know if it's ok if I mention your channel in my next video.
@@XORventures absolutely!
You went to the left of little sluice when you went up the slab and got behind the other jeep. You guys went around and dropped in at the end of it.
Is that the spot when I radioed him that I thought the trail was to the right?
@@XORventures @ 20:45 The bathroom if you would have stayed straight instead of going to the left
Refreshing to see ya'll wheelin without a bunch of spotting and bs chattter! Sub'd
Spotters get in the way of the camera shots. Can't have that.
Thanks for sharing. Cody is adorable 😍
The Rubicon is literally our back door. My brother owns a beautiful place on Wentworth springs road and we spend lots of time up there year round. There are so many other great trails I'd love to share with you. Snow wheeling is also one of our passions during the winter, come join us! Bye the way, my original rack broke the spindle mount and fell off just like yours. I know how to prevent that now!
@mikeroads4807 Love to go back up there some day. May take you up on that.
Ouch!
Weight Reduction Bro
Only by about 40 pounds. Still need to carry that 100 pound tire in the back.
Dang, how did that happen?
@nickthao8904 Appears my tire hit that rock pretty hard when I slid and the spindle on the carrier popped.
Should of gotten a zj
Didn't see one while I was there, but wouldn't mind having one if I had room for another vehicle.
That jeep was feeling tired and deflated
@Christopherjoe Just the opposite. We finished the trail and even pulled a couple others from predicaments. Me, on the other hand, I was tired and deflated.
I was there in September of 2023; it took me five washes to wash the red Utah mud off the undercarriage of my 2020 JGC Trailhawk! I’m certain there’s still some left in there! 😅 Great video, fantastic views, great experience!
@@MrKozanitis careful of that red dirt. The mud can clog around your radiator and cause overheating.
@@XORventures indeed! One of my main concerns then as well.
Your probably know by now but the trail wasn't closed. You were supposed to go over the gate keeper. They close that gate to keep out cars that can't get over the rocks. Sick video either way. I want to try it backwards now.
@midwayj5291 yes, I'm finding that out. Now I'll have to go back up and run it again. Dishpan Springs gate was closed about a month ago when I was up there. Will go check that one again too.
I hope the treatment was successful. We couldn't get an ERG (prerequisite to appt. w/Dr. G.) in the D.C. area during covid (11/2020) so drove to Columbus, OH, got the ERG which confirmed SARDS, but Dr. Tereah Webb immediately started prednisone tablets at dose to suppress immune system. A week later we were in Iowa, and Dr. G. said vision was already starting to return. I understand that the intra-ocular injections can take 3-4 months to work, but apparently it works in some cases where the pred tablets aren't enough. Wish the cure rate was closer to 100%, but anything is better than the 0% a couple dozen ACVO vets gave to me.
Unfortunately ours was not successful. However, Cody is adapting well. He still loves riding in the Jeep and even hangs out the window when offroading. I try and get him on video doing that whenever possible. I even saw him trying to grab at brush as it went by like he used to do.
So cute 😍
Gold Mountain is always fun. I’ve never ran it from the back trail in. By the looks of it the way you came in was a lot easier the going back out. That gate and rock garden were put in a few years ago to keep out all the rift rafts. They were making illegal bypasses to get through the trail. The rock garden at the beginning is the new gate keeper as opposed to the old first waterfall. I think it was more challenging before they cemented the rocks in. It’s really not that bad and looks harder than it is. Your rig could have done it no problem. Keep the videos coming. I’m sure I’ll bump into you one if these days on the trail.
@cj7andotherjeeps940 sounds like I turned around a little too soon and missed an obstacle. I guess that means I'm going to have to go back up there and run it again. Oh darn.
We agree, "the toy's a little too big".
She is happy toys are not too big.
@idaharper2216 that toy was actually for our other dog, but she grabbed it up.
Awesome
You hit a lot of trails. Did you do them all In one day. I’m surprised you guys didn’t hit Gold Mountain. Nice video.
This is actually a compilation of trips over the past 12 years. You just made me realize I forgot to include the one of White Mountain during a snow storm. Crap. I'll try and get that one in a future video. I've run Gold Mountain a couple times, but no video, unfortunately. I plan doing it again this summer. Probably in my JLU. Thanks for the kind words.
Hospital situation out there made me change my mind to retire out in Havasu.
Definitely something to consider.
What year is your Jeep? Tire size? Axle gears? Factory drive train?
2008, 37x12.5x17, 5.13 gears , D44 both, ARB lockers, long arm. I live california (for now) so stock engine/trans.
@@XORventures I run a similar 2014. Factory E-locker in front, ARB rear, long arm only in front, but otherwise the same.
I won't ever go back to California for many reasons, number one I like my freedom and carry everywhere.
First opportunity I get...
Did you enter Holcomb Creek Trail from Green Valley?
We came up from Green Valley. It's where 3N16 crosses the Pacific Crest Trail.
You know how I feel! Just do it. Retire, and move, ASAP!
Locked gates suck. Try joining a club that works with the forest service and maintains trails to help prevent trail damage and further closures.
Been out there a lot over the years. Hope you had fun!
Closed roads, and gates, are the bane of my existence, and they are becoming common. Great drone work, though! 😊
Thanks for bringing us along, is the closure a permanent thing? 🐾
There have been many closures. Hopefully not permanent. People's respect for the trails and land will help keep them open.
Prayers up 🙏
Ladies restroom needed out there 😂. My dog is a happy girl 🐕
Moab.......that word is in the Bible😳 Great trip thanks for the ride and the fantastic views 😊
I loved the shot of Carrie holding up the rock! Also, your drone footage is excellent, especially when it’s above familiar territory. Thanks!
I feel for Cody, but Carrie is a Jeep girl now!
Working on it. If only you could have seen the behind the scenes.
I really enjoyed the familiar drive from LA to Moab, complete with the traditional stop at the doughnut shop!
I only wish I knew before I got back home that I was going to do that video. I only pulled video from beyond Mesquite when Igot to Moab. By the time I got back home, all the footage from that drive was already overwritten from the dashcam.
Wow Never Seen That Heat Temper'd Side@ SaLton See, Looks Desert 😢Torn .... but interesting, as EveryThing Ages & Hopes 4 a Peacefull MostLy PainLess 😮Junctures
Nice video, just found your stuff, planning on making it out there one day.
Hope you enjoy it!
Not to worry definitely not a secret. Thank you its always good to see the many different type weather and what it can do to the road. This truly helps us explorers who like to do a bit research before we hit the road.
Nice Zenith 750! I have been going to those cabins for many years, including using the old telephone pole bridge and before Chicken Rock was made easy. Thanks to the lady for cleaning up Stone Cabin!
