    Description

    Hi gang, It has been a wile, but Arizona has a new governor and a new state land commissioner! Governor Ducey committed to us, during his campaign, that he would support equal access to state trust lands. He ousted the previous state land commissioner that had stood against aviation, and we are hearing from various legislators that the new appointee is a breath of fresh air. Senator Griffin met with the Governor a couple of weeks ago and presented our case and received a positive response from the governor, who even offered to meet with us. In the mean time, we started working with the new commissioner and her staff to get a meeting set, which is now on for October 15th! We are very hopeful, especially since we now have a state attorney general opinion supporting the position that we have held in every meeting with the previous commissioner, that being that the state has complete immunity from liability as long as they treat aviation as any other recreational access, not requiring some special lease or other revenue generating fee. In other words accepting the existing $15 permit that every other recreator pays to get on state trust land! We will keep you posted!

      Road to Tuweep Area

      Technically Toroweap is the name of the overlook, and since this was from the highway to the campground it didn't feel right. You also won't see many vehicles besides motorbikes at the overlook, the last hundred yards before the overlook requires the highest clearance.

      While I made it here with my stock 2008 Outback H6, I don't recommend attempting this with a similar car (I have 8.7" of ground clearance) unless you both know how you/your car reacts to off-road conditions (sand traps, etc.), AND you have multiple spare tires and the means to change them yourself.

      Time-lapse shot with Canon 6D @ 24mm, 10 second interval between pictures, so this sequence was in reality just over 2.5 hours of driving.

      Wife and I rode with a friend out to Toroweap Overlook above the Grand Canyon. Instead of bee-lining it straight back to camp we detoured and headed west to visit the historic Mt. Trumbull Schoolhouse before heading back to camp. All toll it was a long ride day totalling over 200 miles...but we had fun!:)
