Van performs well during the 2010 deer hunt in Arizona.

We hunt deer in a very remote area of Arizona.  I decided to drive the van there this year.  No real obstacles, just a long bumpy way in.

We turned on the gps on the way out to see our average speed.  How does 3.7 miles an hour for 15 miles sound.  That is a fast walk.

We went up through araviapa canyon.  Several stream crossings, rare in AZ. 

Climbing out of the river canyon into the hills.

I got stuck here for a minute.  This van is just so heavy.  Had to lock in the rear locker and pulled right out.

Fell into a hole.  Poor tires took some abuse.

Deer in coolers, headed back home.  13 miles as the crow flies, 8 hour drive.  We've already been drawn for 2011.
