El Camino de Diabla trip in early March

[Blu bi Kong]

Going to be planning a trip over the Camino de Diabla in early March. Trip will be in the 4-5 day range. Day 1 will be driving to Ajo, Az. all attendees need to be permitted by watching a desert preservation video in Ajo that afternoon. (permit is free) Dry camp locally that night and then head out in the am of day 2. We will camp in the desert 3-4 nights before coming out in Yuma, Az.
Pretty basic terrain, no big nasty obstacles. Lots of amazing sights to take in as well as some cool historical stuff to exlpore. Everyone will need to be 100% self contained.
I put it out there now for a couple reasons, to avoid other activities you may plan and the fact the trip may be 4-5 days long.
There is no extreme 4 wheeling on this trip. There will be yet another trip up into the Western Sierra's later next year for our extreme 4 wheeling fix.
Private message me with any questions or interest.

Hmm, sounds cool. I'd have to run solo since it's such a long trip. Let's see if I can get permission from the wife boss.

The dates I will be going on this trip are set. April 16th-20th. All are welcome. Does not cost anything except your food, drink and gas. THERE IS A FREE PERMIT THAT EACH PERSON WITHIN VEHICLE MUST OBTAIN. I can give you details if you like. It takes a computer and 15 minutes.
This particular road goes thru a hotbed of illegal immigration activity. While the US Border Patrol is working hard to keep it safe, ( it has always been a safe trip), I have always carried my gun.
I will be heading out one way for approximately 165 miles on said dirt road from Yuma, Az. into Ajo, AZ then after resupply going back another route which will come out in Tacoma, Az. Approx 1/3 of trip will utilize same road going back.
If your interested please reach out for any details.
Hope to get a chance to meet a few of you out there.

Thanks for the offer Vic... We had another group doing the same planning on FB, they are going 2-2/2-4.. Wife I looked at it hard.. but she does not get that many days off work, so we are going to use her limited time the Sierras.. Just fyi its a 1200 mile route.. that's a lot of road time.. hopefully someday I can spare the time.. thanks again!

Vic maybe you should also post this in the four corners forum, and Nevada forum for those guys to see. We'd probably get more interest that way.. Can't wait for this trip

btw I've recently gotten a fridge/freezer and a portable propane bbq.. that way you wont have to live off sandwiches for 4 days..

I went with a 50 qtz alpicool freezer.. chinese made no name brand sold on amazon.. it's working out well.. i got a portable lithium battery for it so it can stay on all week without being plugged in to the jeep.

I got it on sale a few months back for $250.00

Regarding this trip. There is a growing chance this trip will be postponed. Being out on the road with home stuff going on coupled with 'stay safer at home', supplies and any other variables thrown at us in the next 3-1/2 weeks has me concerned. Do we all agree this would be best?

I agree about canceling it.. I don't want to drive 8 hrs to a location during a lock down..
having said that, since I'm already off, I'm down to go somewhere closer like Moajve lol..
