After a full day on the trail, Clete & Randi, Dave & Paula and Itake time to relax and watch the sun go down.

One of the main benefits of an overnighter was experiencing anArizona desert sunset.

Attending Sunday's Elvis run; Clete & Randi, Dave & Paula,John & Hazel and Mike Drawsky.

John & Hazel's setting up for the "Squeeze". It was their firsttime running Elvis.

Clete made his way through the "Squeeze"

We were entertained by (3) rock buggies going in the oppositedirection.

Dave & Clete take time out to enjoy the cooler fall weather afteranother Arizona hot summer.

John & Hazel took direction from Clete as they got ready todrop down off the one of the last ledges on Elvis.

What makes the Elvis trail so popular is the number of optionalroutes available. Your group can consist of near stock Jeeps torock crawlers and everyone will find it challenging. Daveprovided us with plenty of entertainment throughout the run.

Watching Dave drive up this rock fall twice and with a littleencouragement from Dave, I decided to give it a shot. At thisspot, my rear diff was hung up. Clete told me that it was a slighthang up and with a little more effort I should be able to make itover. Backing up and applying a little more peddle, I was upand over!

Catching all those smiling moments was the number onepleasure of the day...

By 2:00 PM we had completed the Elvis Trail and posed for agroup shot before heading for home.

Thank you Clete and Randi for making the Box CanyonOvernighter an annual event.

Lisa and little Sheridan Pinson at Friday nights costume party.

Bill Mihailov doing what he enjoys most, dressing up for theSpook Rally costume party!

Just could not pass up the opportunity to include this unknownparticipant in the Horn.

One of the lucky ones to win a ribbon for Best Costume wasTanya Mihailov, dressed as Lady Dracula.

Once again, Bill & Amy and their crew spent weeks planning,prefabricating and assembling their checkpoint, named the"Lost Dutchman's Revenge". As always, their efforts were wellreceived by all.

Just like others who have returned year after year to help setup and man the M4W checkpoint, Robert & Stephanie Catronwere back lending a hand in the installation and enjoying thepositive response.

Rally participants have no idea what they are in for whenentering "Lost Dutchman's Revenge".

Once inside the mine, the driver is directed ontowhere he is asked to stop and wait until they finish blasting tmine ahead. The dynamite sounds off, the trailer tilts forwardand the frightened passengers are then given the green light toproceed on.
