- I was invited to join a group from California, Washington, Texas, Oregon and, of course, Oklahoma, traveling the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route (AZBDR). I would meet up with my friend, Dan, in Chula Vista, California, where I was visiting my mom, and we'd join the rest of the folks at Gila Bend, AZ.
The AZBDR is a fantastic route. I'm certain that we saw places in Arizona that lifetime residents have never experienced. It is a somewhat rugged route, but there are amazing views and great campsites all along the way from the US-Mexico border to the Arizona/Utah state line. Come join us as we experience the best The Grand Canyon State has to offer.
Part 5 covers days 5 and 6 of this six day adventure, from a campsite near Russell Tank (just south of Grand Canyon National Park), to one in Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, and then to the Arizona-Utah border, with a brief side-trip to White Pocket.
The music is "Shadowing" by Corbin Kites, "Wander" by Emmit Fenn, and "Speak the Truth" by Go By Ocean _ Ryan McCaffrey. They are available in the CZcams Audio Library for use in CZcams videos.
Good series, thank you everyone that travelled on this trip. Good job Mark!
Thank you!
Wow! Another great wrap up to our adventure! So good having you along Mark. Thanks again for documenting the great time we all had! :)
Thanks. Dan. It was certainly a pleasure for me.
Thanks for sharing this great trip.
Thanks for watching, Jeff.
Seems like this series just started. Thanks for sharing. Lots of fun, adventure and cool places to see. George.
Thanks, George.
Great video series. Thanks for sharing and the work you do make these possible.
And thank you very much for watching and commenting. Always appreciated.
Like, Look, and Listen. Easy.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank you much. Glad you liked it.
Another great series of trip videos! I’ll carry 2 Scepter 2.5 gallon water cans (plus spout and cap wrench) secured under a shelf where the back seat would’ve been mounted in my TJ manual Rubicon. Plus several Nalgene bottles & US canteen w/cup in the footwell behind the driver’s seat. Two bottles of water in the cup holders behind the console and a case/flat of water in the front pax seat footwell. Those Scepter water cans are durable.
Sounds like a great plan. Thanks for watching and commenting!
thanks for doing these Mark, I have enjoyed it just like all the rest that I have viewed.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Terry.
That was great, Mark! I am already missing being there with you guys. I still can't believe that we couldn't find that antenna :)
Thanks, Roy. It was a wonderful adventure.
Another nice series again, congratulations!!!!
Thank you much!
Thank you Sir, I really enjoyed this series, as usual!
It delights me to read that. Thanks much!
Another great series of videos. I recognized a few places familiar, but found out there is a lot more to see. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for the credit for the missing maps comment!!!
You are welcome, Jean. I'm glad you pointed that out to me so I could make it better!
Very excellent!
Thanks, Nigel, glad that you enjoyed it.
Just stumbled upon your video and it looks so awesome. What a wonderful adventure. Thank you for sharing.
You are quite welcome. Warning: There are many more if you browse around. Do be careful. ;-)
Fine, fine work my friend! I look forward to our next trip!
Thanks, Steve, and I do too. Hope that isn't too much longer!
Great series. Enjoyed it very much, I know so little about Arizona. It's the little things I notice now. I was watching with someone else and immediately hit pause... "Look... see that water container on that stepladder?? This is the guy I got the idea from." She said I need more practice on my "siphon hose" technique. I must pay attention.....
Have to LOL at the siphon hose practice comment. Thanks for watching and commenting, Ron. Enjoyed reading that.
What an awesome trip! The video series is as good as actually being on the trip. :) It was a pleasure adventuring with you again. Looking forward to our next outing.
Thanks, Adam, and me too!
got here from defiant offroad. great series! looks awesome out there!
@@rexkramer7339 Thanks for letting me know. Will and I are trying to work out meeting for real. Perhaps in the near future. There's quite a bit of content on the channel (I've been at this a few years). If you're looking for something in particular, don't hesitate to ask.
Wow, this is the perfect trip! I wish I would have known. Plenty of vacation piled up. Is this an annual thing? I'm in TX.
Yes, the AZBDR is a great adventure. This was my first time traveling with this group. They do regular trips together, but various places around the country. As for me, I travel with a variety of small groups from around the country as they invite me along.
Sooo. at 4:41 there is that shelf road. What is the significance of the road? Was there industry out there? That looks like it took some effort and money to complete. Does it go anywhere other than the canyon? Excellent video and series Mark!
According to the Butler Motorcycle Map, that is BIA Road 6150. It is one of the ones that you add to your travel permit purchased in Cameron. The map info is a bit misleading, since it says to buy the permit before heading north from Cameron. Which is after you've already traveled on 6150 if you're headed south to north. It connects up to Hwy 64, or if you take one of the alternate routes, it is bringing you down from the national forest area that we had camped in the preceding night. We didn't see any industry--but the views, headed north on the AZBDR like we were, are just incredible.
good to know, I was worried you were harming baby chicks to make these videos. Thanks for clarifying.
LOL.
