COMPLETED: Prescott NF Run 06/24/2010

[KE7WOX]

Went out for a drive today to test the new tires. Started off Highway 89 on Perkinsville Rd, then took FR-186, then turned back and took FR-175, turned around back to Perkinsville Rd and back to pavement. Only 25 miles or so of dirt, but I didn't have that much time available.






This is where I turned around last time as the road was a little bit too rough for stock height. It has been improved now



The nüvi will get you lost in the city (it has done that to me), but on while you're out in the forests

Cool!

What NUVI is that? I don't know that my 255W will show actual locations??

I'm not a big fan of Garmins anyhow.

But really, looks like a fun run. I need to get out exploring again.

Ever make it out towards Sedona? I hear there are some spectacular views there.

Looks like this road was near a mine? Whats with the massive rock pile?

I've spent 2-3 days exploring around Sedona, James. If you saw my pics on the OS, you're probably jabbing me to move the content over here so it "counts."

There's a lot you need to migrate over here.

What if Trailvoy went down tomorrow? We'd lose all of your archives!

Mike,
It's a 760. I'm pretty sure all nüvis can display the coordinates, just go to the main page (where you select either map or find a destination), then click on tools (the wrench right at the bottom) and one of the icons should tell you the location. I'm pretty sure I've done that with my dad's 260.

James,
I've made it to Sedona twice... by highway. I definitely need to find the way to get there with as little highway as possible. But yeah, the views are amazing over there.

Yes, this was near several mines. As I discovered yesterday, both roads end at different sandstone mines, and several roads branch off and will also take you to the mines (FR-186A,B). I was hoping that the roads would take me somewhere else, but no, only to the mines.

Bill,
Yes, you should bring them over, just copy and paste the code

Naturally one of the top google hits for prescott and 4WD comes up with this page. Anyways yeah...
