Inkopah was sweeet!

Thanks Brad for organizing that one, good times, great wheeling, awesome fire

and especially thanks for the shooting lessons, made it fun and safe! And It only took me 2 days to finally hit a clay pigeon LOL

I'm sure Brad will come up with the 2 pics he took all trip soon.

ya, that was a really good trip, we got in all of the untraveled trails and found some really cool stuff that I think very few people have ever seen. And to top it off, full moon, warm weather, lots of clay birds and less than an hour drive out for me.

I think the general concensus here is that inkopah is short easy trail, but that is not the case at all, I'll have to take more folks out and show them the "magical cavern valley". There is a whole other valley south east of valley of the moon that only has one way in and it is pretty difficult trail.
I'll get up the pics tomorrow, I'm burnt out now...

Nice. Do you mean southwest or east. Southeast of Inkopah would be Mexico. Looking forward to the pics.

I never take pics and like wheeling with people who dont stop at every little ledge, or try to spot me through the most simple of sections...We just kept moving, crawling and climbing.

I think Spaugh took like 3 pics of his truck, about 30 scenery pics LOL and 1 of me posing on like a six inch rock

not a lot of wheeling photos, we were having too much fun driving. Here are some of the caves and stuff we found. Here is a link to my webpage.

I think my buddy bryan may have more photos, I'll add more later.

Here is the map, we made it to all the places on that map including the spots in purple circle. Most of the photos are in the southeast purple circle on the map. There appears to be a road to get there from near the mine, but that one is closed. We went through some mountains to get there.

I never knew about the "tough wheeling" area. We may need to plan a day trip....

that trail to the back valley was short but sweet, if we ran the tabl emnt trail then up the back and into that valley well...that would be a day of wheeling for sure!

if we are gonna do it, lets do it soon, its getting warm quick. My lips feel like fried eggs just from one day out there in the 80s. You wanting to camp in the back valley? If you want to kill some more clay birds, we can head back to there. If not, I'm down to get back into the north side and camp a night.

EDIT: you know its not a long drive out when you are going 110MPH in a taco...

i was out there on saturday (2/10/07) It was great. My buddy got a ticket for no regristration on his toyota that he trailered in. A rainger got him. I have never heard of this before! oh well. The weather was great, the 4-wheeling was awesome. Upper part of eliots mine was the best.
Let me know next time you guys go. I live in SD and love to go out there as much as possible.
