Join Kirk, Darren & sometimes Anna on fun and random offroading adventures all around southern, California & western Arizona as we search for the the most interesting and hidden offroad destinations our deserts offer. Hitting the trails with our Can Am X3s, there is no place we can't go and no destination we can't find. Join us on the trails as we find mine shafts, hot springs, & unique locations while exploring areas where most others never knew existed. As a reminder always offroad with a buddy and bring lots of water!
Bunker Bar, Lake Havasu AZ - A Hidden Off-Grid Military Themed Bar & Grill Everyone Can Visit
On this trip, Kirk, Darren & Anna visit Lake Havasu Bunker Bar located a few miles north of Lake Havasu City 2.5 miles off HWY 95. For this adventure, we made a pit stop at P-Mountain located in Parker, AZ before investigating a desert fire and wild donkeys. Our UTV of choice is the Can-Am X3, but this off-road adventure is doable in any vehicle with decent ground clearance. Just be sure your rig is street legal as the track goes through Lake Havasu City. Also be sure to bring extra fuel.

Inspiring!
Would love to see a separate video of your camping set up and must haves for the trail.
This area was our 4th day. We did it in the reverse direction. We stayed and started in Wickiup and was by far my favorite day. The views, the challenging trail, the spurs and going from desert floor up into pine forests. I’m just glad we didn’t meet any oncoming traffic on that narrow cliffside trail! We stayed at the Best Western Plus in Kingman. Love the coverage!
We finished our Peace Trail adventure about 4 weeks ago but we did it counter-clockwise starting and ending in Quartzsite. Where you camped was near the beginning of our second day as we stayed in Welton our first night. Awesome seeing the desert green.
what comm system is being used
Que lindo lugar 🎉😊sou Brasileira,quem sabe um dia eu posso conhecer 😅Amém ❤❤😊
I've had a pad in Parker Buckskin valley for years. Watched the whole scene grow over the years. Good times had by all. Remember when the locals burnt down the Sundance bar a couple of times. One season Sundance was only large carnival type tents. Crazy river adventures.
Thanks for your videos and your maps
This commentary may hurt TH-cam creator feelings, but it comes from the heart. When you post about a secret, beautiful place that everyone should see, then everyone goes to see it. In this case I’ve been to Lincoln Ranch numerous times. Each time there was a definite feeling of abandonment and solitude. I’ve only told one other person. Since TH-cam commentators advertised this place in order to get “hits” on their channels, Lincoln Ranch has turned into a bad circus. Last week there was a constant procession of caravan people. Some were drunk, some defecated on the land, leaving their toilet paper blowing in the breeze, and some left garbage, plastic containers, and drink cans and a noisy presence. The sense of something long gone, sacred, has just become overcrowded, with too many bodies pointing their cell phones this way and that, and then leaving in a cloud of dust, only to be replaced by another group. After nearly seventy years camping I could tell TH-cam viewers some awesome places that are still a secret, but I’m not about to because after tens of thousands of views many will come to these places and hurt the sacred peacefulness just by overcrowding. It’s difficult to drop all connectivity and just sit quietly whilst people are roaring around in their 4x4s. I hope you get my strong belief, and if you know of some awesome, secret place, please show only to a few confidants, instead of advertising it for a few cents worth of hits, thereby pretty much ruining a place.
Your feelings come from a good place and are well received however we are not doing this for money. We consider our videos more of a video archive that future people can look back on to view a place that may or may not exist anymore. A historical record of sorts. We don't believe keeping destinations secrets is the path forward, but rather education through entertainment.
As always I enjoy your videos and keep them coming
Great video please keep up the great work thanks
So u drink and drive that's not cool!!!
We were out at the Bunker two weeks ago on on a Sunday and that place was packed by 12:30. Food, drink and entertainment was good. It's a great place to build into your ride!
What drone are you using ?
Great video! Your “These are my people” comment was spot on. You can come across a group in the middle of the desert and chances are you just made new friends. If you haven’t done it yet, take a ride out to Hualapai Mountains.
Is this the same place as the desert Bar in a previous video ?……
No, this is just North of Havasu. The Desert Bar by Parker
Coors lite? 😢. Great times w your pop
Why are your wearing helmets especially since your not doing anything even remotely dangerous?
*you're.
This isn’t a spelling Bee !…..
@thomasdaum1927 good thing for you. 🫤
I believe it’s the law,and if it’s not, it’s probably a prudent practice. Kind of like seat belts in our cars…
If you look at pics of Kirk in his car, behind him you can see he is equipped with race air. It pumps fresh, filtered air in to your helmet so you don’t have to eat all the choking dust. makes a BIG difference. The helmet also has his communication gear (mic and earbuds) so he can talk with his son. If you don’t have that, you can’t hear the other people over the noise of the engine. No helmet = no fresh air and no communication with other vehicles.
I really like the added drone footage! Great video!
'Can't drink in Havasu'.. like only 10,000 people a day do... lol
Great video, thanks for the tracks. Gaia is the best for tracks
You guys had a very fun day! Glad your wife was able to join this adventure! Great off roading experience in Parker and Havasu. 😃
Someone is going to break an ankle.
You guys headed to the poker run in Fort Mojave next weekend?
Do you have a trail map to follow the route you took?
Yes. Check the description of the video. We have our tracks posted.
Thank you for the video. We did the ride yesterday and followed your footsteps. Awesome!
we were also father and son travelers your story is great video and voice splendid job see you on the trails
Have did the trail twice, both directions. Can't wait to put together next group. First trip was a can- am mav x3 turbo r CT RACEWORK build. Next trip was Speed El Jefe # 35. Clean runs both machines, not even a flat or belt. Will be leaving Lake Havasu in late March. Will not be a trip for the faint of heart. Four two hundred mile days is my goal.

Very cool trail that I am looking forward into running and camping on. Thank you for posting the coordinates of the finds, although I am sure that the landmarks can be found on my maps app.
Epic ride for you and your Dad! Great work on the narration and content! Thanks for sharing.

I’d wear boots,get bit by a snake way out there be screwed
Good stuff!! My buddy Mark and me have been out there and explored the surrounding area several times. The Bill Williams river that comes out of Alamo Lake is a interesting place to explore also. Seeing fish and beavers out in the middle of the desert is a treat. Keep going guys!!
