A local destination for me on the Verde River near Perkinsville, Az. A good spot for the dogs to play and cool off.

Where Was I Wednesday? Hint: it’s close to an old haunted copper mine ghost town.

The 31 mile long Dusy-Ershim Trail is one of the most rugged and challenging offroad trails in the country. It is most often compared to the more famous Rubicon Trail which is 14 miles long. Besides the difference in the length, you will also find no workarounds on this trail like the Rubicon. It is unique in that it travels along the border between two Wilderness areas within Central California’s Sierra National Forest. This was our first attempt at reaching Thompson Lake in 2008 which was unsuccessful. I believe we were the first UTV's to do the Dusy. Our 2nd attempt in 2009 was sucessful. I’ve attempted to provide a narrative on each photo but for the 2009 trip visit https://www.utvweekly.com/2009/09/utv-trip-on-the-dusy-ershim-trail/ to get the full story.

Bench testing my Bluetti Global 806WH power station powering a ACOPower refrigerator. This setup might be needed on my next camp and ride trip. Let’s see your setup.
