So this past weekend, my brother had stopped by to say hey and he soon got a call from a friend of his saying he was stuck on the back side of Mt. Lemmon... Luckily my brother had been to this particular spot before and so knew pretty much where he was. We took his Chevy 2500HD and my Dakota 4x4 (we off road safely and in pairs) Once we got there (where he definitely should NOT have been!) we managed to get Ron's truck turned around in order to hook up to their vehicle, but I had to back up the long hill to get back to the top of this trail. Here is what we saw once we got there and parked... (You really can't get an idea of the angle of this hill...)
Here is once we got the other vehicle back up to the top of this hill that they had been working for 4 hours to do.
Turns out, that vehicle is a front wheel drive 4banger...He should not have been even close to this spot. He destroyed a motor mount and banged up the bottom pretty well.
It's pretty nice up there too =)
On the way back out of the mountain, I slammed on my brakes as I saw this in the dirt road
a bit further down the road, this guy was hanging out in the middle
Here is a quick vid of me backing up the hill as my brother tows *cough* drags *cough* the other vehicle up the hill. Gives a little bit better perspective on the angle of this trail.
