Maybe I should start at the beginning ? My wife Karen and friends Dewitt and Dawn wanted to go to Las Vegas , because Karen had never been there ? She just wanted to see it and stay a couple days then wife and I would go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon . We are driving our Toyota T100 with Flippac .
So we left for Vegas on the Oct.29th going around Lake Tahoe .We would be in Vegas for Halloween then head to the Grand Canyon .
Then down HWY 395 to Hwy 120 over to Benton Hot Springs next to the White Mountains for the first night .
Stopped at Rhyolite just outside Death Valley for a quick look ?
View attachment 78210entering the N. Rim of the Grand Canyon .View attachment 78211We decided to take 4x4 roads in to Point Sublime and see if we could stay on the point ? We picked a road that was before the gate where you pay to get in . We had stopped at Fredonia to get a back country permit but they where closed ? So were going in there and no one knows were there ? At the time I was not that worried about it ? I have been going out to the middle of nowhere for a long time and normally pretty prepared to do so ? I thought I had bought my tow rope with me , but when we came upon a downed tree I couldn't find it ? I left it home ?With some work and a dead tree I was able to pry the tree out of the way . It had already taken us about 2 hours to go 10 miles and we still had 10 more miles to get to Point Sublime and it was already 2pm and it was getting dark at 5pm so we didn't have much time to relax if we wanted to get there before dark ?
(more to come) ?
