“We turned things up for our last trail on the Great American Crawl. We were in beautiful Table Mesa, Arizona wrapping up the Terminator trail. The whole afternoon ahead of us, someone thought it would be a good idea to start Collateral Damage, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST ROUTES AROUND.”
The whole trail is only about a mile and a half long.
They thought they’d ‘make quick work of the trail and be back in time for BBQ before sunset.’
“Should be done in an hour and a half.”

OVERLY OPTIMISTIC

“We had great guides, we had people that knew what they were doing and knew where to put us.” But “You don’t get a break between obstacles. The rocks out here are very sharp and some locals had told us they tear up tires; which it happens to everybody sooner or later.”
“You got a big old hole right here.”
“I got poked, yes I did.”
“Mitch’s mishap was probably the first issue we had on the trail.” But it was by no means the last.
Note how they handled that patch – ground the T on the tire down to “Mickey hompson.”

AND THEN THERE WAS THE WALL

“You don’t see it, but that thing is undercut. It just swallowed my whole 46.”
“Hats off to whoever broke this trail!”
Someone broke a rear drive shaft; and they needed to do a food run. ’If you can’t go around a vehicle, go over?’

CARNAGE ENSUED

Daylight was fading. “We were getting short on time.”
Fortunately, Arizona locals pulled together to help.
“It was a long day” but “Arizona was one of my favorites – if not my favorite – for 2021.”
“A great way to cap off the Great American Crawl, last one of the season”
