You rock. This is a great video, but.... I'm one of those alone people. I go out with my dog, take extra survival, Starlink, water, phone, locator beacon, and ply the trails. I understand your point but I'm still wanting to see these places. Thanks for a great video.

[@ww24pilot]

Great videos guys. I’ve been wanting to do sand hollow to toroweap overlook and back loop.

[@thehoneybadger8089]

Looks like it would make a dandy dual sport bike trip. Might have to do it next winter!

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

me n my bro are looking for adventure and we appreciate this series coming forth.....we just have an old Rhino but the PT goes right by our house Golden Valley.....thx

[@BrentPlehn]

[@zaneturner8423]

Can't wait for day 2.

[@user-ub5zv7qm1d]

As usual great job Darren and Kirk, can't wait for day 2

[@kath6450]

Enjoyed the ride!

[@pablochorizo9038]

this is cool id love to do this in my truck but don't really have any buddies that could bring another vehicle.

[@OffroadDestinations]

Have you considered finding a club online. We passed so many clubs out there and everyone was so chill.

[@user-co9wd1nk4s]

Pre COVID four of us rode the northern half (Quartzsite to Kingman and back). Three of us on quads and one side x side. Two years later we did the southern half (Quartzsite to Dateland and return). Two of us quad riders are over 70 years old. I rode a Polaris 570.

What would be cool is follow the trail by bush plane and land and take off from it camp along the way.

[@chipdouglaschipdouglas]

Great channel! Do you have a clutch or CVT? If CVT how many belts do you bring and go through?

[@OffroadDestinations]

CVT. We bring one extra belt for each vehicle, but have never needed it. Thanks for watching.

[@Brandon549100]

nice, post your tracks!

[@powerralley]

Check the video description. All tracks are posted!

[@keithjahn6031]

Why does your Dad follow so close He is constantly in your main dust stream 😢

[@OffroadDestinations]

I typically only follow that close when the Drone is in the air.

[@thehoneybadger8089]

So, was all that "stuff" in the Bra and Panty Tree over 50 years old. Let's try not to be hypocritical now, fellas😉🙃🌵

[@OffroadDestinations]

I suppose the same could be said about the cabins too, but I think if the waypoint is part of the official Peace trail route, then it's allowed! 😉

[@roygrisham7663]

Too bad you are in side by sides and quads. Jeeps rule!

[@downbytheriver501]

Yeah going 1/8 as fast is sOooO fun.

[@thehoneybadger8089]

Two wheelers would be even better😊🌵

[@downbytheriver501]

@@thehoneybadger8089 I agree sometimes. But “with age comes a cage” 😆

[@kimplehn8855]

Enjoyed your day 1 adventure! I want to visit the bunker bar. Burgers looked delicious, love the live band. Your love of off road, and bond of dad and son really shine. ❤
