CB Antenna Quick Disconnect

Back in 2016, I mounted a Firestik CB Antenna behind the spare tire on my Jeep. Although it has worked well, I have been reluctant to run the Jeep through an automated car wash for fear of damaging it. After exchanging emails with Right Chanel Radios, I learned they have a quick disconnect that should solve my dilemma. I ordered it on Thursday and it was delivered today. Now, I just have to wait until it quits raining to install it.

If you are in the market for a CB radio or accessories, I highly recommend Right Chanel Radios. This was the third time I have done business with them and their products and service have been outstanding.

When you think of deserts, you probably don't think of colorful flowers. Here is a field of wildflowers (I believe they are posies) near the RV park...

Quartz Ridge

I joined the group from the park to ride Quartz Ridge west of Highway 87 northeast of Phoenix. This trail is known for its quartz rock outcroppings which apparently are fairly rare in Arizona...

Lunch at the end of the trail

I do have two caveats:

1. There are bushes sticking out onto the trail that cannot be avoided. You will definitely have "Arizona pinstripes" on your vehicle by the end of the day.
2. Sections of the trail are off-camber with deep ruts. Wheel placement is critical to staying upright.

Lastly, here's a video showcasing some the beauty and challenges of the trail...
