First up Creepy Bathroom, not sure what locals call it. I heard back in the days of TWA a military plane went down in these mountains, and a cabin was quickly set up to assist in recovery efforts. I didn't go all the way up to the crash site but there is allegedly wreckage still. It's a pretty easy drive up to the cabin, but I wouldn't plan on camping in it, it was janky when it was first built and now it's all shot up. Still cool to see, and plenty of other campsites. I found something I think was a native american turtle roast, where they carve out a hole in the bedrock and boil food in a turtle shell, surrounded by rock walls and a smokeless fire pit. But I'm not going to say where, you can adventure like I did ;) I slept in the cargo hold with my dog, it was surprisingly comfortable for 6'1 and 155lb. I finally realized the "Rest" function on the climate control is a BLESSING...

Next up is Rainbow Mine aka Fort Apache Caves aka Lost Potential. The easiest access is through the collection basin. I crawled up this ridiculous rock wall just to see a Jeep LIBERTY at the top, apparently there is a packed gravel dirt road perfectly flat all the way up the back. Um no thanks bro, I came here to have fun :) but if you want to camp there you don't have to risk scratching your mall crawlers like I did..

Did you seriously put Nazi type music to your video?

Did you really register an account of an internet forum for a vehicle produced by a company founded by the nazi party?


I'm jealous of your fsi lol the exhaust note is wicked
The company doesn't have any present day Nazi ties?

By choosing Nazi music in your "offroading" video, in todays current environment it suggest that you support them. I'm sure it was some pathetic excuse to be funny, but it wasn't.

I owned an MGB-GT for a few years. Those electrical classes I had getting my engineering degree helped enormously.
I didn't have the patience to constantly keep fixing the darn thing much less when it started on fire the day before Christmas that one year because of the starter
