Secrets of the Chiricahua Mountains - V22E9

In this overnight adventure in the Jeep, I explore deeper into the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona. The episode kicks off late in the after, and I seek out a lovely and idyllic campsite nestled in the woods, next to a babbling stream. For dinner, I enjoy standard venture4wd fare. The next day, I set off to explore the surrounding forest roads and am met with extraordinary scenery, a few dead ends, and a little bit of history.

    I love this area and have been going there ever since I was a kid. We used to take our kids up there camping, too. This is a favorite place for people that live in one of the nearby towns. It's really beautiful in August when we have had a good rainy season and it gets really lush and green. Be aware the area is prone to torrential flooding during the rainy season that turns the creek into a raging river that can even flood some of the campgrounds near the creek. Great video!

    The old historic ranch was also originally camp Rucker. It is only preserved because the camp rocker was taken over by a homesteader who cared for it all the way up into this 1970s. Camp Rucker was an outpost during the Apache wars. Lieutenant record drowned trying to help another soldier who had been swept away in White River during a monsoon flood. White River was also renamed.

    Hello Chris, Life changes us, our health and relationships change our priorities… Thinking back I think yours was the first “off road” channel I subscribed to as its just enjoyable to tag along on your adventures seeing new places I’ll probably never get to myself… Several of the KZread channels I watch have changed over the years, but that’s to be expected as people age and mature. Four years ago I thought I needed a Jeep, I still don’t have one and probably never will as I’ve been priced out of the market. Although I do like to get out and explore new places I don’t think it’ll ever be to the level you’ve done… Keep sharing your adventures local or long distance, even the vehicle repair and home maintenance are fun… Ratings and comments will dictate what works and what doesn’t but in the end you have to please yourself. If it ceases being fun for you then change is inevitable.

    Excellent Chris! Well done .👌 Lots of off road Jeep porn.👍 You were near the site where Johnny Ringo is buried. And not too far from where Geronimo surrendered. Lots of history in those parts. I’m working on my old Landy in a similar fashion to the way you are. No big restoration, just fix what needs to be fixed and make it reliable and solid. Thanks for another great post.
