This trip to Alamo lake is a good start to get me interested. I've driven by the turn off to the lake through Salome several times every year going to my sisters place in California from Paulden. Hopefully I'll get to see it for myself soon.
Nice lake in my opinion. Several trails lead into it from both sides. Anytime you can camp or drive around water is good by me. Appreciate you watching! Thank you.
I haven't been out to Alamo in about 20 years. Has cell reception improved (Verizon)? Used to be nothing lol. Anyway, great video and glad you got the chance to get out there. Camping by the water in the desert is really something to experience (oxymoron only us desert dwellers would understand). I wish you well in your personal endeavor to get out of the office! We're in our 50's and almost there ourselves. The calculator says "Close, just not quite yet..." lol. Oh, and before the week gets away from me, let me wish you and yours, and all of your subscribers and viewers a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! We're hosting supper for 15 this year! Lots to be thankful for this year. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL & WRXY843
You should get out there again soon. Cell service wasn't bad and I have Verizon. Few areas it goes away though depending where you are at. Thanks for watching as always! Sounds like you will have a big meal prep going on this week at your home. Enjoy Thanksgiving and we will do the same! Thanks, Pete!
@@outlander6891 Thanks for watching! Glad it helped. I may do a full review this winter. If you have any questions in the meantime let me know. Happy to answer best I can. Thanks again!
Another great video! The drone shots are so cool! So glad I found your channel! This lake is about 2 hrs from my house so I am definitely going there!!!
@@B5Daytona Definitely make the trip! Appears to be quiet out there this time of year. Will be well worth it! I camped on the East side and there are plenty of spots over there. Take your pick. Thanks for watching as always! Appreciate it!
Oh man! Thanks again for your vids on this place. Finally got out there to your exact spot over 3 days including New Year's day. All went well except the drive home through Phoenix when my single axle trailer blew a tire with my sxs on it and it took out the fender but got home safe. Out there we saw 2 groups of burros. Did Maggie's Slot, McGuffy's Cabin, Palmerita Ranch, Mud Cliffs and left Swansea off the itinerary. Did a couple hours fishing. All in all a wonderful place and we honestly would have never heard about it let alone gone there if it weren't for this exact video and your follow up. Thank you much.
And yes, we actually got our low clearance trailer with sxs on it to your spot. Only lightly dragged one area. First hit the wrong spot, though nice, just northeast of your spot. Saw the part where you needed momentum to get up the climb and we just doubled back and took the easier route to your spot. Great spot.
@@Bizill75 Wow! Sounds like an amazing trip! You packed it full. Glad you enjoyed it out there and thanks for letting me know. Bummer on the flat though. Happy New Year!
We even hit the Wayside Oasis on the way out. Good eats and good bloody Mary. 3 planes took off from the runway. Place was packed. SXS haven. LOTS of trails throughout the entire area. Diesel heater worked a treat in the RTT.
I purchased mine through @silentfamily. It is the MCRanch Overland fire reflector. Great product. So appreciate you watching. Thank you! Let me know if you have any other further questions. 👍🏻
@@JasonSmithKingazjay It happens like that. So much to see in AZ. Even things close by can seem like a challenge to venture out. It’s nice to check it out for sure. Appreciate you watching! Thank you.
Where exactly did you stay and which way did you come in from? I'm in Tucson and need a maiden voyage in our overlanding setup Gladiator. Alamo lake may just be the ticket! Great vid.
@@Bizill75 Came in on Old Alamo Road from Eastside. Takes you straight to lake. Numerous places to camp. Just see what looks best to you. Travel North along Lake and numerous fingers or peninsula’s you can camp on. View it from the air and you will see what I mean. Have fun! Thanks for watching!
@@explore_x_ I'd have to come from the Phoenix side of things. I see that way you're met with paid camping sites and I'm not sure if you can get to the north side of things, but I haven't looked. Many spots on the upper southeast side but not sure where you're allowed to dry camp for free vs not or trespass vs not... I'm all about the sxs life but just getting into overlanding. LOTS to learn...
@ Just before the public camping area turn right on Browns Xing Rd. Take that about 1.5 miles then turn left to trail that will take you to the lake area. That is how I go in. You can follow some of those trails and takes you to those fingers. Going in off main road probably works just fine too.
@@anthonyarmijo When I purchased it company was TuffStuff Overland. Believe now it is Tribe Trailers. Not sure if that model is in production anymore. Hope that helps. Appreciate you watching! Thank you.

You have an amazing setup and are an awesome camp host sir. Was beautiful out there and of course your eye for those shots is on point!
@@Centerofmass1 Thank you. Let’s do it again sooner than later! 👊🏻

Rainy sunsets over a lake are always spectacular! Sorry I missed it. Next time for sure.
@@millenniumoverland Yeah, definitely missed you out there! We shall roll again soon!
Great video, as always!
I love all of the foreshadowing about rain ... lol 😃
@@GeekInAwe Thanks. Yeah, forecast said no rain but it sure looked like it. Didn’t last
long but I sure enjoyed it! Appreciate you watching as always.
Appreciate the attitude, tenacity, and the length of your video. I'm liked and subscribed.

Thanks for showing the side walls on the 270! I've been searching for more TH-cam videos, but this is the first one I've seen.
@@outlander6891 Thanks for watching! Glad it helped. I may do a full review this winter. If you have any questions in the meantime let me know. Happy to answer best I can. Thanks again!

Nice video, well put together. I need to get out there myself of course my next trip will definitely be in the snow. Love the set up.👍🏼
@@godsbackcountryoverland Thank you! Highly recommend making a trip out there. Great place and you will enjoy. Appreciate you watching!
Nice video and a Great location.
@@steveelliott1160 Appreciate that! Made this video a little longer in duration instead of two episodes. Thanks for watching! Location is 👍🏻👍🏻

What fire shield do you use ?

It’s crazy, I’ve lived a couple hours away from Alamo for 20 years and have never been there! 😂

@@explore_x_ You sir, are a gentleman! Thanks.
@@explore_x_ And all those spots are free to camp? I don't mind paying, just don't want to end up where I don't belong...
What brand of overland trailer is that you are towing?

@explore_x_ thanks
