Entry #6: Jeep Life

     So this past Friday at 10 P.M. I get a call from my favorite uncle asking me if I want to go on a day trip to Jerome.  Obviously I am in immediate agreement and we begin to talk about the off road trails we want to travel on.  The alarm starts blaring at 6:30 in the morning and I welcome the day with a hearty yawn.  Before I know it I have my tools, provisions, medical kit and boots packed up ready to go.  We head out in his jeep through the back way into Jerome, around Mt. Mingus.  In the middle of our trip we run into a group of five jeeps that belong to a club.  They want to take us the back back way into town.  It was twenty-two miles of gorgeous country and difficult trails.  As stated on Trails.com, this trail is not for the feint of heart.  Over all there were no mind shattering cliff drops or insane hill climbs but the rock climbing was outstanding.  Once you come down the back side of the mountain, the rest of the road is nice and smooth with a gorgeous view of the Prescott valley.  For any off road lovers like myself, I would highly suggest this trail to you.
