THREE DAYS ON THE DEVILS ROAD (Part 1) | El Camino Del Diablo

"The Pickles Didn't Break" is a T-Shirt I'd for sure wear. A new favourite quote 😁👍

[@EFRT]

Ha ha, yes, that would make a great T-shirt. 💡

Holy cow! Great story-telling! I love your music choices and cinematography; the radios add such an intense “Cops” vibe! (Voiceovers are a bit monotonous…need more emotion…less reading) But I’m a new subscriber and super stoked to keep an eye on your adventures! (I’ve got a 17yr old wanting to do what you’re doing! 😬) Cheers! Renee 💕

[@EFRT]

Glad you found us. We enjoy your content and love your family. Yes Finn is welcome at our campfire anytime. You all are 👍🏻

[@ionecuff6323]

Thank you for stopping in Yuma. You would be amazed at the variety of history here; from the Native American sleep circles, petroglyphs, training/acclimating troops in preparation for battle in Africa during WWII, and so much more. I am just so glad that you didn't come in the summer. I was running around doing errands yesterday and it was 115 F. The hottest temp I have seen here (and had to work in the desert in it) was 128 F. But, you can't beat our winters!!! May you all continue to have save travels and adventures with God's blessings and protection!

[@jerrodhawbaker7985]

Thank you for you videos. I really do enjoy watching yawls videos. It really enlightens my day as I am a homebound individual that cannot go out in public because of health issues so I live off of seeing videos like yours where I can see this great country not just in the United States, but even when you’re in Canada at your cabin, please keep the great work up. Can’t wait to see your next ones.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for your comment. We are so glad you are enjoying the videos and that we can take you with us to see beautiful places. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Lived in Yuma on and off for over 10 years. That desert area you went through on these journey’s on the El Camino del Diablo brings back great memories. You should do it again during the fall or spring time when the Marine Corps is conducting their advance aviation weapons training class.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always EFRT. This is a epic adventure the remoteness and the quietness and some epic routes what else can you ask for for a epic adventure. But it makes it 10x epic with family and friends. Thanks for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures.

I have never been there but I have to say that I would rather read a book. Give me the mountain’s, coast or meadow anytime. Enjoy!

Lando is a great 4x4 on those rocky trails

[@EFRT]

Yes he’s the best 🐕

[@geroldknoebel3836]

Oh yes Peter, that sounds familiar. Before I went into combustion technology, I was with Babcock / Hankock / Wilcock. There was a big power station in Arizina, some boilers were broken. No steam, no electricity. (45 years ago).Our deal, all overtime and bonuses were paid. The bonus, if we finish 4 weeks early, the power company pays us 4 weeks vacation in Arizona. Back then we were out and about for a while, had good supplies and got to know the country. Beautiful, just not in summer. And really, the company paid for everything, no matter what. Those were still good times, laugh. Greetings from Frankfurt and stay healthy.

[@EFRT]

Greetings to you in Frankfort 🇩🇪 Yes Arizona in the summer is a whole different story. Have a great week.

Near the beginning where you filmed Lando running by, he sounded like a steam locomotive the way he was breathing. Such a cool doggy. Great video. Love that you are doing it with another of my favorite channels and people, OOA.

[@backcountryoverland103]

Too cool and great timing! I'm actually headed down there from mid Colorado in the next week. Already have the needed BMGR Permit & resources. Going to traverse east to west from Ajo (visit some friends there). Good hole in the wall Mexican food stop in town square, El Tarasco. I'll east to west it to Yuma, then work my way north to the Am. Adv. Desert Rendezvous up near Quartzsite. Going to run it in my Ram 2500 with a 650 pound pop-up. Your bigger heavier rig looks like it does well. hehehe.......and I have had similar grocery catapulting in the past as well. I try to get groceries stowed first, but sometimes you gotta get moving. I use Mountain Smith zip close cube bags for food shopping, and keep the groceries low, forward, and center till I can properly secure them. Looking forward to the continued episodes. Travel Safe ! Maybe see Matt at Moore Expo. Hitting Arkansas for the eclipse, then to Moore after.

[@EFRT]

Sounds like you have an epic trip ahead. Have fun! Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@edromero6352]

Hello everyone, I say the more friends the better makes for such a great trip and better memories. We’re planning on doing the Arizona peach Trail here shortly and watching you guys gets me so pumped up. Thanks for sharing your time with us. I know it’s a lot of work to film and put the videos out. I could never do that. thanks again you guys ROCK

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Great video! You're really putting the F350 through its paces and finding out what it can do. Looks like with common sense you can go just about anywhere you want to go. The land is so stark and barren, yet beautiful!

[@EFRT]

Yes we have been amazed by its agility. It’s cool to be able to take our home with us way out in the wilderness 👍🏻

[@Shawn2ndaccount]

Done this road/trip dozens of times! Not dangerous, I literally live on the border in Southeast Arizona and do the trip a few times a year starting at the NM border to Yuma.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

What a wonderful video! I was down in that area several years ago. This brought back a lot of memories, thank you for sharing it with us!

[@EFRT]

[@kathyhensarling2537]

Carol, I have a go to recipe for you, so Simple! As follows: 1 half of a medium onion, chopped medium, 1 pound of ground beef, 1 small fresh cabbage or half of a large, sliced into strips then diced medium. Flour tortillas, cheese and salsa. Sauté the onions to release them, add the ground beef and brown, add the cabbage, stir together well, cover and stir once in a while until the cabbage has shrunk and is cooked. Serve on the tortilla with cheese and salsa. Happy eating! You could probably use shredded cabbage.

[@EFRT]

Sounds delicious. Thank you 😊

[@lindakoon8694]

I did that trip last year, but in reverse and during the real bumpy/ shaky section you experienced in the beginning, I had blown all four shocks on my 01 Tahoe. I ended up rebuilding the front end and adding new rear HD springs,shocks, and a leveling kit .

[@EFRT]

Sounds of you had a great trip. Yes that section can be incredibly rocky and rough.

WOW , just WOW . If this vlog isn’t a commercial for the Ross Monster or a jeep without a working 4x4 idk what is lol . Definitely showed the capabilities of the Ford better. Tipping my hat off to you guys going that close to the southern border nowadays because i probably wouldn’t do it ( especially through a target range 🤷‍♂️😂). PS:did y’all find lando’s 4 th missing booty ? Little guy might need his lockers on ( boots,and probably Carol needed boots also in that clip 😉😂). Loving this phase of your adventures ( maybe start a new season playlist?).

[@EFRT]

Yes, we have been so impressed with the Rossmönster so far. It hasn’t held us back from any trails we normally would do and it’s great to have the comforts of home with us when we set up camp. We never did find his fourth boot. 🐾 h

What a courageous trail to take on. Its intresting that many people have died on this trail but Gods beautiful creation, plants, flowers, cactus and some animals thrive & survive the heat. Amazing that everything God creates Lives and flourish. I choose Gods road. Much Love Peter, Carolyn family and friends. stay safe always. And Thank you

Yes despite the ominous name, it is a beautiful area and wonderful place to camp surrounded in nature and silence.

I'm trying really hard to understand how this kind of travelling is enjoyable. I wish I could, but obviously it's definitely not for me. But the scenery is beautiful. That's a big plus.

[@EFRT]

Yes, it’s definitely not for everyone, but sometimes the harder, the trail, the more epic the views. To get out to a place where you are all alone enjoying nature’s solitude you usually have to cross some rough trails. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your support. Have a wonderful day.

[@tylerhunter7272]

Would u travel this route solo? I prefer having an adventure buddy along, but schedules don’t always align.

[@EFRT]

Yes, he probably would although it is always better to go with a friend no matter what remote trail you are on. 👍🏻 the only sketchy area was on the east end. It seems most people start in the east and head west to Yuma. That way you can get through the Organ Pipe reserve area in one day and camp further out in the wilderness.

I do not understand why you would want to go anywhere near the border with what’s going on down there with drugs, smuggling and child trafficking! Some pretty dangerous people dealing that area! There will be time in the future once this is cleaned up and it will be cleaned up probably within the next year year and a half that you can go back there and do it safely! Please stay safe Also concerned with some of the weather patterns changing out there in Arizona and Nevada with unusual rain patterns that you guys are not familiar with the water flow patterns in those areas and there could be flooding! I saw on the news in California where was holding onto the top of his camper very similar to the ones you guys driveand he also had a tree or hooked on it as it was physically being washed away during one of these flash flood! So please please please pay attention to the weather patterns and learn from the locals what the flooding patterns are before you go off grid

Just a head's up there is absolutely no G annunciated in the saguaro, I grew up amongst these Cactus in Tucson spent 70 years in Arizona not that it matters, type in how to correctly say Saguaro, they tell you the correct way to pronounce it, you pronounce it as if its spelled sawauro, its actually a boy's name. The way it was being pronounced I wasn't sure at first what you were referring too, it is definitely an often-butchered word, like many of the Indian words and names around here.
