sanddunesaddict Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Chris(Duelordie) and I decided to take the road up to the top of Sunrise mountain this afternoon... What an awesome trip and beautiful view. We are going to do it again at night. Here is Chris adding our names to the notebook in the Geocache ammo can. Got signal?? Got to love 3 wheel motion!!!

sanddunesaddict Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 u drove all the way up there in your tracker bert??? I didnt realize there was a legal road that went that high up!!! nice pics. great view all around ! Its supposed to be closed off but the gates were open.Well I was in 4 low and hubs locked in.Its not a easy road.Very very rocky with loose rocks and big loose rocks all arouns and rutted all out.Yeah the view was 360 degrees. Its not something you can take anything up.Probably nothing longer than a regular cab short bed truck. Even I had to make 3-4 point turns on the switch backs. Quote
sand chick Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 Great views! Looks like a blast, my kinda daytrip! That would be pretty incredible at night! Glad to see that the rhino made it Quote

Makes you wonder how they got all the service trucks up there to put those towers together Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 Some of the stuff is so big or so long they had to have brought it in with a helicopter and had crews up there to put it up. Quote
DuNe45oR Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 has anyone found the geocache ammo box in panguitch lake utah?? we found it the first time we were out there and we thought we found some antuique ammo box. I didnt know they were all over the place! Quote
wsky70 Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Those are some great pics Bert, looks like a very good time...SF Woody Quote
DeuelorDie Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Even on a quad that road would be pretty fun. Can't wait to take the wives at night!! The "Rhino" RULES Quote
dinicolady Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Awesome pics!! Vegas even looked purdy from all the way up there! Night shots will really rock. Quote
SandBox_Kid Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Very nice....you made it to the top of Frenchman's mountain. I live in the red square which is actually at the base of Sunrise on the other side of Lake Mead Bl here: Makes you wonder how they got all the service trucks up there to put those towers together Some of the stuff is so big or so long they had to have brought it in with a helicopter and had crews up there to put it up. Very sketchy indeed. You used the county access road which is not used much any more. One of my friends in Facilities took that road once and he said it was not fun at all...lot's of switch backs and rocky like you described. The last time any maintenance was done it was all by helicopter. My turn to go up was coming up, but I was promoted into another dept doing something other than carpentry. :freakin_nuts: I got to watch them bring a shed down from there via helicopter. Apparently the winds destroyed it, and it was a total loss. Thanks for sharing! Quote
