Oh yes! Its time for another wild ARIZONA off-road/camping get together trip!

So heres the info everyone has been patiently anticipating...





...or not!

Its time for another of the now famous (at least in our minds) Arizona gatherings. For those in the area or maybe even those passing through on their way to Moab this one is going to be good so don't miss it.
We will be heading to the cooler climes of the Arizona Rim Country. The destination will be a trail Starting in Strawberry, Az. We will follow the trail (Aprox. 16 miles)to the area where the Verde and East Verde rivers combine. That will be the camping spot. Then we will retrace our steps back out to civilization.

DATE: May 12-23, 2007
TIME: Will leave Tucson at 6am meet times for other areas along the way will be updated once I know who intends to go. This should put us in Strawberry at 9-9:30.
CB Channel: 13
BRING: camping gear, food, and all the other usual 4X'ing stuff. This will be back country camping.
Other info will be posted as I work out all the details.

Note: I have never been on this trail so I don't know the exact difficulty. I have talked to the forrest service and the info I got from them was that the portion of the trail they knew of was prodably of medium difficulty. It could become a exploritory run...but we will camp and have fun.

So who will be there?

The list...
:nuke: Triathlete
:nuke: VCamilo
:nuke: VXCaver
:nuke: Your name here

Well Moab is another 10 hours and another weekend away! I have races to be at. As much as I'd like to be there its not going to happen till 08! But I'll make up for it then! :thumbup: Plus I'll be able to do some of the tougher trails I want to do since I plan on having a bit more protection by then. :smack:

Yes, this is in the desert!

Hey Billy you driving to my house friday night? You are more than welcome to stay at the house on friday.

Will be working Fri night. Leaving Tucson Sat. at 6am should be in Strawberry between 9-9:30. I'll find a spot/time for us to meet along the way.

Count me in. We'll be in cave country for this one. You guys up for a trip?

If we have time, could be fun!

You going to meet me in Tucson and cruise up? I plan on taking the more scenic route. Oracle, Florence, Apache Junction (pick up Victor?), 88 to Roosevelt Lake, 188 to Payson, to Strawberry. About 3.5 hours.

I might ride up with you or I might go up a day ahead and spend some time with my pops who lives near Victor. I'll let you know...

One more week...who else is going to join the fun?

For those coming from the Phoenix area...
Meet at the 60/88 intersectionat Apache Junction. I will try to be there by 8am
I,m not sure whats there so I will turn off the 60 onto the 88 and pull off to the side of the rode. Will have the CB on channel 13.

Bob is going to bring his GPS with the trail coordinates so we shouldn't get too lost :righty:
