Motor Mayhem

This is a pretty good video from 1935 detailing the manufacturing process of a steam locomotive (No 6207)  from start to finish.

The Rice Peak trail is relatively easy with no major obstacles along it as it is a forest service road. However, the difficulty comes in the fact that the last part of the trail is extremely steep with only a small turn around at the top. A stock 4×4 can make it with a little […]

Here are some images of a 4×4 trip me and some friends did in January 2011. We ran the Charleau Gap Trail.

Visited this site in June of 2012. The mine is located just outside of Superior, Arizona and is one of many abandoned copper mines in the area. Its a very easy trek in as there is a dirt road passable by car about 1/2 mile away. There is a road off the main road leading […]

The trail is located off of Reddington Rd which begins at the east end of Tanque Verde Rd.The falls are a very rewarding site and a nice place to […]

Description: The trail to chimney rock is easy and can be traversed by 2wd vehicles. The rocks themselves are much more challenging than the trail in and has many obstacles that require 4wd. There are spots for everyone to enjoy there and most of the area can be accessed by easier routes. If you want […]

Description: A moderately rough 4WD road that climbs about 1500 vertical feet to “The Gap”, a pass in San Maniego Ridge in the Santa Catalina Mountains. The road was recently “leveled” by the forest service to allow for better access to maintenance equipment. Many of the challenging obstacles have been jackhammered out. The trail continues […]

These are cartoons/information sheets that were used to announce new procedures at aircraft factories and repair shops. They were printed during the 1950’s. Also Here is an old ad I found among the IQ’s.

TOR and Rocking AZ teamed together to recover a burnt grand cherokee on the alamo springs trail. The vehicle had been there a number of years and was not being removed by the Forest Service due to the remoteness of the area. After a few hours of work the enitre wreck was recovered and much […]

Here are some pictures from a hike we took to finger rock in the Santa Catalina Mountains. Finger rock is a local landmark that can be seen from towering above from most of Tucson. The trail is a difficult hike that gets extremely steep towards the end, but the views are great. We hiked the […]

Here are pictures from our run to Chimney Rock to go fix a friends f350 that bent it’s drag link on one of the obstacles there and couldn’t make a right turn. We ended up packing a welder, generator, cutoff wheels, grinder, hand tools, and pipe (for sleeving the bent drag link so it could […]

Few know the story of bustling coal mining town turned ghost town. This town didn’t dry up from a lack of coal, but an abundance. Prior to 1962 Centralia was a bustling coal mining town with over 1000 residents. However in 1962 the town’s volunteer fire department set the town landfill on fire as they […]

With Miles guidance (Article),I went to the range and found some more stuff. I have 2 20mm rounds, 3 .50 cal casings, a hundred plus .50 cal bullets and at least that many links. The icing on the cake is a 80mm mortar point detonating nose cone. I will go back as I have found […]

Here are some pictures I took at the WE Rock competitions in Tucson, Az. About 2 Sec Later:

Here are some pictures of an old military oscilloscope I found at an electronics store. I believe it is off a ship as it has the characteristic “musty destroyer” smell to it. I have plugged it in and it seems to be functioning well for the most part. All of the ID tags are removed […]

While out shooting my friend led me to an abandoned Word War Two artillery range. While out there we spend a few hours scouring the ground for pieces left from the range. Together my friend and I found about 130 .50 Caliber tracer and AP (Armor Piercing) rounds. We also found numerous .30 Caliber rounds, […]

I recently picked up this motor from a guy who wanted to get rid of it. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Maybe sell it or put it in something. Anyway here are some pics of it. I believe it is an early 50’s engine and is either a 288 […]

I just purchased an older light bulb because I thought the filament in it was very unique. When I purchased it I had no idea what it was but for the $1.00 I paid for it I thought it was worth it. I tired it in my lamp but it did not work. Then I […]
