Mr. Ed from the THE FLIP FLOP RESORT INN wondered what the GPS co-ordinates for that Lake Alamo Slot Canyon were. N34 17.087 W113 36.707 should just about put you at the trail head. It runs West out of a wash running North & South. Best way to get there from highway 93 is either take 17 Mile Road (scenic) from just South of the big Burrow Creek bridge or from Wikieup on 93. Head out on Chicken Springs road & head yourself on down towards Lake Alamo that-a-way. And the book the boys are looking at in the photo is Janna & Mike’s book entitled, ‘ Backcountry Adventures Arizona by Peter Massey and Jeanne Wilson. 2001/02. Kelly & I have an Arizona Benchmark Atlas we use…..when we can remember to use it.
well i danced to the tune of 1,554.$$$ and it go,s like this
Mishimoto intercooler 995.$$
up/lo/ res hoses 85.$$
tran,s cooler 68.$$
rest was shop work
so far so good
as long as my check book holds out now
now the up date on the NEW 5ER
we picked the truck up monday at 4pm way to late to run down to port st lucie
and back so i went down tue, and unloaded a hole bunch of cash
so far we spent the last 3 days moving and setting up
and no were not done and yes WE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF ROOM (but no we have not tested the dishwasher) but it,s coming
i took my old solar stuff off an am looking to set it up on the big boy
I,m thinking of adding 1 more panel 230w
seeing as how i,m adding 2 more cart battery,s and i have a lot of room for to install that part and a lot more if needed
however my roof is shit shape,, what looks like a lot of room turns out small and or in some shade some what
and to boot NOT a flat roof it,s curved,, so my best laid plan is now VOID
but thanks to E-BAY my bracket are on order today
now the dip shit sold me a trailer with new D rated tires 5 lugs so we will pull my new E rated ones off and use them
I hope to get some photos up soon
thay say it,s only fun when your spending money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Model # 276EFS. 28 feet long. Fully self-contained. Clean and ready to use. All new tires. One large slide out. Extras include Satellite dish, dishwasher, and brace for Kingpin. Sleeps 6.
Well looks like we're passing the papers and the bucks $$$$$ .the 10th so far that's good
We're trailer trash starting mon, at 1030 am but it seems we have been that for the last 6 weeks now or so
Now for the kicker
Our 5er,s to small I'm looking at a 29. 5er if we're going to be out for 7 8 9 mo,s we need more room
The one I'm looking at is real short $$$. Plus it has a large slide and a basement room for my kites and my gun rack and a backup water tank to boot
If we get this one we don't need to roll over each other and the 2 dogs to get out of bed at night
It,s a bummer getting old
If I do I'm looking at 1 or 2 up dated solar panels and I will take some of my stuff off the 23er
With the f 350 is still over kill with a 29 footer now if the price if fuel will come down that would be nice
As for the ford $$$ money pit were up to 2000$$$ now let's see after the brake jobs
The aftercooler had 7 split core tubes that's Gale Banks 1300$$ cooler is junk
The old oil cooler junk
Oil lines junk
Now a new aftercooler 940$$
New oil cooler 100$$
New larger cooler lines 175$$
3 new A/F hoses 100$$
Hooking up the trans Torque converter lockup 50$$
Hell it,s a FORD think (fix or repair Daily )
Also we're thinking with this larger 5er we will stick around here till april 5
To line up stuff that needs to be done when we're gone so we don't need to move out anyway for that time the works going on and were not under foot (bathroom is getting revamped )
