Last Chance Canyon and Burro Schmidt Tunnel 2/14/09

[IslanderOffRoad]

Did a day trip with my Sea Scout Unit. During the winter we do some mild 4wd trips with some California history thrown in because the weather sucks for boating.

Sweet pics!!! I wanted to do last chance canyon this weekend but was afraid of flash floods through the canyon.

Yeah, it was a bit wet in some places (as evident by my mud) when we went on the 14th. We cut a 3 day trip to 1 because of our fear of the weather.

Thanks for the pics! That was my favorite place to go exploring when I lived in Burbank.

Do you think my XJ could have handled the notch? I was scared to try it.

I really like those SJs.

Nice runs. Too bad they don't let you run wild on Catalina. Of course, its for good reason to preserve nature, but...

I need to take some pics of the roads out there, during the winter they get pretty hairy. If it rains 4wd is required to get to the nearest town.
