Copper Canyon to Cherry Road interchange

On January 4th, we hiked from the I-17 brake check area at the head of Copper Canyon down to the trailhead.  We thought the road looked pretty rough but "doable" in our Suzuki Samurai.  We mounted the "Sam Cam" on the hood of the Samurai and off we went on January 18th.

The last hill climb is the most dubious portion of the road.  There are numerous rough patches but nothing unusual for a capable 4WD vehicle.

We set the camera on a ten second interval.  After our return home, we reduced the number of time lapse photos from the original 499 to more "manageable" 396.  It took about an hour to process the slideshow in Windows Movie Maker with each picture getting a one second view time.  It then too about another hour to upload the photos the photos to YouTube.  We will also put some of our still photos here soon.
Note that there are 3 or four "glitchy" slides and they appear at the very beginning. After the first five seconds of run time, the slideshow performs fine from then on.
