Do the Casebier books state its relevance?

Thank you all for sharing your trip and photos. I have yet to do any BDR in their entirety; only sections of the CA BDR. Looks like I need to find your other BDR trips now!

Here is a screenshot of the BLM Arizona Strip Map with the trails taken (shown in black). This does not include the trip to Little Finland and Whitney Pocket, since they are not shown on this map.

Whitney Pocket is a great place with lots of wind caves and mountain shelters for camping. There is also the Civilian Conservation Corps' (CCC) Dam which is a marvel to behold. I drove around the side of a hill and found a great place to camp. This concluded our trip to the...

I reached Little Finland and to my surprise, there was no one in sight. I thought that there would be lots of people on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, but I was wrong. I spent a couple of hours hiking around and taking photos. I poured some water on this section and the wavy...

Day 8 - Hurricane Cliffs, St. George, UT, Whitney Pocket, NV, Little Finland (62 miles) In the morning, we headed into St. George, Utah and aired up in Warner Valley, just outside of St. George, UT. It was the end of an amazing trip with these guys! We completed over 400 miles of off-road...

It was getting late in the day and we drove around a few times before finding a fairly level spot to camp east of the dinosaur tracks up against the Hurricane Cliffs in Utah. Day 7 GPX Track on Google Earth

Next up was the Historic Honeymoon Trail which eventually drops back down through the Hurricane Cliffs via an extreme 4x4 section and into the valley again. I did this crazy section with a friend in January 2018 after the Winter 4x4 Jamboree in Sand Hollow, when it was raining and it was...

Below is a screenshot of the route we took through Hurricane Valley on CR 105. It was beautiful! The dirt road was really smooth and the light wind pushed any trailing dust out of the way for the next truck. We eventually reached the junction of the Temple Trail The "Grandstand"...

Day 7 - Toroweap Overlook, Arizona Longhorns, Hurricane Valley, Honeymoon Trail, Dinosaur Tracks (114 miles) We were supposed to spend two nights at Toroweap Overlook and each of us paid for an extra night, but there weren't any 4x4 trails to explore and none of us were in the mood for more...

It was in the 70s for the most part. The North Rim is considerably higher in elevation than the South Rim. We paid $7.50 per gallon of super unleaded at the Bar 10 Resort. Very cheap for being the only fuel station in an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. I’ve paid more in Death...

As noted, Toroweap Overlook is within the National Park and so you need to have advanced reservations if you want to camp, a National Park pass to enter the park, and now an additional daily permit is required for each vehicle ($2 each per day). The permit is a new 2023 requirement to reduce...

We then headed east to Nampaweap and found out we had to do another 1.5-mile hike to reach the site. It was incredible and had more petroglyphs in one location than I'd ever seen! Our next stop after this was the Grand Canyon National Park and the Toroweap Overlook. The drive...

We reached the end of BLM1023 instead of driving straight through the wilderness, we headed northwest on BLM1044 with the wilderness now on our left side. We were eventually heading toward the Nampaweap Rock Art Site and Toroweap Overlook, when I saw another trail heading back into the...

Day 6 - Pa's Pocket, Mount Logan Hike, Nampaweap Rock Art Site, Sawmill, Toroweap Overlook (50 miles) After some rest at Pa's Pocket, we took another small walk back to some of the man made tanks and then headed north on BLM1246 and then BLM1045. The guy who fueled our vehicles at Bar 10 told...
