OVERLANDING THE ARIZONA STRIP
PUTTING THE METALCLOAK
ADVENTURE RACK SYSTEM TO THE TEST!
By Del Albright, Sustainable Motorized Recreation Advocate
The high desert blossomed with colorful plant life as I entered the Gold Butte National Monument outside of Mesquite, NV, overlanding my way to the back side of Lake Mead. While the whole trip was beautiful, I have to admit that the variety of events was exceptional. “Jumping” cactus (cholla) threatened to stick me or stab me at every turn. Beavertail cactus, alive with purple flowers, forced me to stop and take way too many pics. My back was sore at the end of the day, as some of the roads in my JK were pretty bumpy. And, my goodness, the views were incredible.
