Rockranger, (the guy with the old Ranger practically on it's side) was asking me if I wanted to go out to the Hammers next spring. I'm going to try and set a date for a run out there.

BTW the reason Rockranger is on the strap is because his front right tire is off the bead.

Looks like you guys had fun. I ended up going to Truckhaven instead of JV, Since it was closer and all my local buddies were going, Had a blast. We were crusing through a canal like that one in the pics and ended up driving through a tunnel under the sand. It was the coolest thing i've ever seen out there. Then at midnight it started raining. MUD everywhere, yuck. but it was still fun.

Dang, that sounds cool. I've never seen that one before! We drove over a few sink holes where you could see that the dirt we were driving over was only like a foot thick and there was a small eroded tunnel below us. We would only have fell like 3 feet total had it given out though.

I dont' know EXACTLY where it's at, but we were headed back towards the road coming from the Waterfalls, on the way to one of the lower washes that runs under the road. I think its just off of one of the main wash roads out there, cuz when we came out of it, we were on a main wash trail. I hope I can find it again, we just sort of stumbled across it. I was following another jeep through this narrow crevace/wash and it kept getting narrower, and narrower, until we had to gro through this archway tunnel thingy. We were both tripping on how cool that was. I'll have to try to find it again this weekend or something.

If i find it again, I'll let you know. Hopefully it won't collapse before then.

Okay, thanks.:D Next time I'm out there I'll take a look.
I know Graves Wash has some spots down toward HI-86
that are narrow with high walls. Sounds like that could be
the spot.
