PaulD Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) FYI -- the 8 AM departure from Avi Casino will greatly enforce COVID rules.. as in... an effort to reduce close human interaction, coughing on each other, high-fives, etc. Hate to do this, but I am in charge of caring for my 90 year-old mum who has had a serious bought with Valley Fever, and has therefore left her with some big "pre-existing conditions" which would probably render her dead if she became infected. So please consider this aspect, I promise a rousing good time otherwise..! Cheers.

Mffoster Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Starting times... Should probably all agree to use NV time to meet in the morning. If I remember correctly from last year some phones were flipping an hour back and forth since Laughlin is right on the border and AZ doesn’t use daylight saving time.

Jonster Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Would a Disco Sport be able to do the whole trail? I was out in Death Valley - West Side Rd and up Queen of Sheba to the mines, and Mojave - Afton Canyon and 12 miles eastward during Thanksgiving with my Rover.

PaulD Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 No sweat. Last year with AZLRO we had a brand new Disco Sport with the diesel motor. Apparently the owner lives in Canada part time and bought it there. He and his wife did the WHOLE 120 miles no problem. Stock truck. There are only a few bits on the 1st day that require a careful line, but clearance is not really an issue. My ETC never engaged in my RRC on the 2017 trip, and open diffs are fine for this trail. There are occasions, of course, where you can cross-axle in a rut on purpose to "pose" with a wheel in the air for happy-snaps if you want. --Paul Nickbubz, Jonster and lutz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Also on the 2017 combo NCLR/AZLRO trip, we had Lithium's (at the time) fiance Marie run with us from Kelso Depot to the end in her LR2.. Lutzi towed her across the Mojave River crossing at Afton Canyon --) --Paul Nickbubz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickbubz Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I was wondering about the difficulty on this one, but the last couple comments sold me. I'm in for the 8am in the LR3, assuming my PTO gets approved by next week. But I do have a question regarding #2's. Dig a hole, I would imagine? EDIT: PTO Confirmed! See y'all next month at 8am.

Jonster Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I was out near Afton in my Disco Sport around Thanksgiving. The Mojave river crossing was covered with rocks. It was only 4-6 inches deep. I did suffer light trail damage out near Spooky canyon, dented the resonator and bent a heat shield but other than that my DIsco did fine. I have 6mm aluminum skid plates on order but they are back ordered and come from France, so it will be awhile. Plus ordered the Eibach lift kit too. Probably won't have those for this trip but since i was in Death Valley and Mojave for the Thanksgiving and did fine, I am not worried. I just have to get congressional approval from my other half as this covid thing has her spooked more than a steep climb with a narrow ledge at 6K feet.

lutz Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Update Afton Campground has been closed due to current events . I know a good spot before the canyon or we can hop over the 15 and find a spot. PaulD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
