Hell no bro
100+ miles a day sounds like a lot to me but, I'm old. But, I'd still like to try a day or three of that trip. It would probably be so much fun that I'd want to do the whole loop. Until I get the opportunity to try a trip like that I'll settle for your pictures. Y'all be safe.This morning me and 3 friends are setting out on a trip we’ve been planning for months. We are going to do drive the entire Arizona Peace Trail, which is an almost 700mi loop trail and is the largest OHV loop in the country.
Just taking 2 rigs, a Polaris RZR and a Honda Talon, I’m leaving mine here since I’m still waiting on an axle issue to be fixed and riding passenger. The plan is to complete it in 6 days but we took the whole week off just in case it takes longer. I’ll post pics/updates as service permits. This is what we’re looking at for an itinerary if we can stay on track.
Day: 1 Yuma to Quartzite
Day 2: Quartzite to Lake Havasu
Day 3: Lake Havasu to Kingman
Day 4: Kingman to Wikiup
Day 5: Wikiup to Salome
Day 6 Salome back to Yuma

Oh we have plenty and will be resupplying daily.My God, the fear of running out of beer out there would keep me from attempting that trip.
That was a fun part of the trail. Nice and flat with lots of dips and hills. Like a roller coaster.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Where at in AZ? I@Derek8404

Born & Raised in Winslow...
Went to college in Tempe and lived in Tempe for 7 years.
Drove that Jeep all over different parts of Arizona.

All that off roading that @Derek8404 is doing is in some harsh, rugged, unforgiving country.
Arizona is "wide open space" for sure. I appreciate him sharing his adventures on this forum.
Check out Pinal County, lots of blm land there. The strawberry area north of Payson is great tooI love Tempe. The wife an I are considering staying here in AZ permanently and that is definitely on the list. Although I do really enjoy Yuma where we live, it would be nice to have more to do.
My ideal retirement is a nice house somewhere in the Phoenix Suburbs and a small piece of property (less than a acre even) that borders blm land and I’ll put a shipping container with some livening quarters and power out there. That way I can head out and do all the off-roading on the weekends I want.
I’ll definitely check that out@Derek8404 cool pics as always! There is a unique book written by a retired US C&BP agent that you may find interesting due to your relative proximity to the US-Mexico border:

Some of my regular backyard visitors. Lots of bird activity and we always have dove, quail and road runners in the yard.

Awesome birds. We have a couple that live in the tree in our yard. It’s very cool to sit on the patio and see them working to build the nest together and watching them run down prey. They’re amazing hunters. They also kill snakes and I suspect that’s why I haven’t had any rattlesnakes in my yard.ROADRUNNER!!! ❤️
Growing up in Az, I saw them almost daily. I also spent considerable time in my youth trying to catch one and never could run one down.. 🤣Awesome birds.
