We're gonna take a dirt road tour of Central Arizona over Labor Day weekend with @osidepunker (maybe) and @Zackbremer. I can take 3 more trucks for a total of 6.
Only 4wd trucks or 2wd with AT or mud 35s and recovery points. You will get scratches and/or minor body damage because we'll be on some trails largely meant for Jeeps. Bring firewood, 10 gallons of water, full size spare tire and tools to change it, and backcountry camping gear as we'll be doing dispersed camping.
If you're in, post here and pm me your email address and phone number. We'll share meal duties.
Beer drinking and tomfoolery is a must - maybe even a Fireball Run.
Role Call:
@KevinK, Lisa and two dogs - DC 4x4 on 37s - Dinner Friday, something with cheese and bacon
@osidepunker - DC 4x4 long travel on 35s - breakfast Saturday and Sunday
@Zackbremer - CM 4x4 on 35s?
@UncleJimmy and wife - DC 4x4 on 35s I think - breakfast Monday
@spenny - 4 Runner 4x4 with magic buttons and no front sway bar now - dinner Saturday
@Scooby 329% committed even though he says he's not gonna make it- CM 4x4 on 35s
Route/Itinerary:
Friday: We're gonna go run Sycamore Creek in the afternoon, and then drive to Lake Pleasant in the evening to camp.Those of us available Friday will meetup with the Saturday starters in the morning when they come to our camp location.
Saturday: Meet at the Friday Night camping spot (coordinates later, but on the north end of Lake Pleasant) EARLY. The AZFJ group is running 25-35 FJs starting at 7:30, so we're getting on the trail first. Take the back way to Crown King for lunch. Then to Prescott to camp. Camp location TBD.
Sunday: Smiley Rock Trail and maybe lunch in Jerome. Other trails on or around Mingus Mountain. Camp location TBD
Monday: Runs in the morning, routes TBD but maybe West Sedona and the FR525 corridor. Leave for home in the early afternoon.
I'm open to trail suggestions in addition to Crown King and Smiley Rock. We usually wheel further east, so I don't know all the trails around here.
Comms:
VHF 147.420 primary / 147.520 backup
