Does anyone take their sandcar out to the desert around Phoenix. Where do you go. I have dirt tires so I'm itchen to go out inbetween now and pres day.
Any ideas where I would be able to open it up a little. Anyone want to go.

339th Ave and indian school you can open her up. Also up by wickenburg in the river bottom you can let her rip.

Is that sand or dirt at 339 ave.

both sandy rivre bottom and hard pack trails. use the drit tires andyou will me fine.

I think I might check it out tomorrow.

Another cool place is on Carefree Highway past the Lake Pleasant turnoff. Keep going on Carefree until you get to Mile Marker 11.5 and turn South. If you stage down that road there is both dirt and a big sand wash to play in. Don't turn north into the Boulders ohv area as there isnt much fun with the rail there.

That sounds cool and not to far. I've been to the boulders with the sandcar and there is no room on the trails to give it any gas.

I'd love to go with you. I keep wanting to go out in the desert but don't have anyone else to go with. Let me know what your planning and I'll try to go with.

Chuckee

the river bottom in morristown is the best place to open it up . its not huge but enough to put your foot in it . it is not far from the boulders . the boulders is great for quads but not enough room for a rail . even the river bottom gets old quick , its enough for a quick fix but thats it . tim

Seems like the west side of Table Mesa Rd may work too. I know there are lots of roads there that seem to go on forever. Don't know if you want to go somewhere that busy or not though.

Just saw this reply. I think I'll be going to the dunes next weekend and the weekend after that I'll be out of town. After that I'm game. I see you live in peoria. Do you live out towards lake pleasent.

only problem with Table Mesa is all the soccer ball sized rocks on the trails.

I took the Teryx out to Miller and I10 a few weeks ago and it seems like it might be ok for a car. I've been thinking about taking mine out there and running the powerline road that runs NW of there.

Isn't the area across the highway from Boulders OHV pretty small before it gets rough?

Id say the 11 mile wash up in carefree, start at the big wash on bartlett dam rd and follow it all the way to the Verde River, Its a wide sandy wash that goes a long way through rock wall canyons and trees its a great ride even in the heat of summer because theirs a river at the end.

also gets kind of crowded. We used to do that run on our quads all the time. we found that if you did it at night you could at least see the head lights of on comming traffic.... oh and it's only seven miles and it called Camp Creek Wash... Made it from the river to the road in about 12 minutes on the Banshee one time

i have not been there in years ! used hang out there in the late 80's . had lots of fun times there . tim

Yep same here. Had a guy run us off the road and pulled a gun on my buddy and I up there. Thought he was going to shoot us.

I had a friend go head on with a sheriff's blazer in 7 mile wash. He lost, but lived to ride another day.

you guys werent in a 1971 lifted chevy truck were you ? tim

We used to unload the bikes at Pima and Dynamite and single track it to that wash then head to the river before the shut the Pima and Dynamite area down. I was messing around doing wheelies at the river and a damn wasp flew into my helmet and stung me on the cheek several times before I could get my helmet off. I almost crashed my damn bike!!!

Had the same thing allmost happen to us. Thats when we switched over to nights. Now I can't see for chit at night and have no need to fly up that wash during the day, It's MX Tracks or Dunes only for me.

Nope 79 chevy 1/2 ton with a 500 inch big block and nitrous.

7 mile wash is within miles of my house. From garage directly to trails

I think that entrance is open again, that trail one is were i crashed hard into trees off the trail and had branches stabbed into my arms and an 07 trx450r missing the front end, we hung the headlamp in the tree and keep goin.

speaking of great rides in phoenix that are closed. going up 55th ave and happy vally through the new hood over the canal and ride all the way to the bar on lake pleasant and carefree hwy, get a burger and ride back in two hours... very good friend got hurt real bad doing that. sure miss ridein with him.

I miss that 55th ave and Happy Valley entrance.

Loved that 55th AVE , ride right from the house, either go to the White Horse or all the way to Rock Springs.

I can walk my dogs from the house to this entrance that now of course is fenced in. I still know two ways to get out there but imagine the fine is pretty big so havent done it in a while. Some great single track under the mountains out there.

My scanner is not working so these are pics of pics. Truck weighed 5700 lbs with camper shell and a bunch of wood and tool boxes in the back. 3.73 gears and 11/15 bfgs. Truck ran high 12s at over 105mph through the lights. It was scary trying to stop it with drums on the rear. Had a lot of fun with it. Not only fast on the street could run 70 up sunset hill with a 20' searay and full load up to powell.
