Cal (cewillis),
I just checked out your website and your trip through the Charouleau Gap in 2004 looked like quite the trip!! Looking at the photos ... it appeared that it would take a very aggressive TC to travel this area if one wanted to camp way back in there instead of just day-tripping on a cycle or in a Jeep.
It would also have to be a very, very small TC. I drove my old '97 GMC 1500 (empty) up that road as far as 'the wall', but I wasn't about to try going up that by myself. I'm sure you've heard of 'Arizona pin stripping' -- it was invented on this trail.
'the wall'
By the way, the above part of the trail is no more -- just got to be too dangerous, so now there is a somewhat easier go-around.
Starting from the Oracle end of the trail, there are many excellent, very remote boondocking spots accessible by a well equipped TC.
