Spring 2008 Trip Schedule

January 12: Axle Alley – Westfall & Schaefer (Hard)

Meet: 8:30am Leave at 9:00am

Gold Canyon Shell
(US 60 & Kings Ranch Road)
7138 E Highway 60
Gold Canyon, AZ 85218

______________________________________________

January 26: Sandy Beach (Four Peaks area) - Westfall (Hard)

CANCELED

______________________________________________

February 9: Cross Verde and out Log Corral – Reynolds & Schaefer (Medium)

Feb 9, 2008, the plan is to run Log Corral. The Forest Service or BLM or someone is gateing alot of access in the area. Elvota has been scouting heavily and we will have a trip reguardless, even if it is Sunflower (Josh's Trail).

So meet at the Arby's on 87 (Beeline Highway) and Shea Blvd at 8:30AM for a 9:00am pull out.

Log Corral is a medium trail, it has a few hard sections at the beginning. I would have at least a rear locker and sliders although Jon ran it open, so I guess it is how much abuse you are willing to inflict on your rig.


______________________________________________

February 16, 2008 (Saturday) - Table Mesa (4+ rated trails)

CANCELED

______________________________________________

February 23: Elvis - Woodpeckers – Schaefer (Easy)

Casey and Charles from California will be here so we are moving the run formerly set for Edwards Park out to Florence Junction and running Elvis and the Woodpeckers.

Meet: 8:30am Leave at 9:00am

Gold Canyon Shell
(US 60 & Kings Ranch Road)
7138 E Highway 60
Gold Canyon, AZ 85218

Are we going to do anything about Log Corral/Verde conflicting with Tim's 4 Peaks Cleanup, or just leave it as an either/or situation? What's the general consensus? IIRC it could possibly hook up with the 404 area on 5/3 no?

Several of us mentioned to him that there was already a trip planned on that day before he rolled it out. He said that is the only day he rangers or park people could do it.

So to answer your question, I'm still planning on running Log Corral as planned. We could stop on the way back and participate in the clean up.

Any word on this Steve?? I know it's a little far out still but I'm trying to plan my vacation days and was wondering if it was something that my 4runner would be able to run.

Nothing is really nailed down as far as dates. Most likely will be a 4 or 5 day thing. Maybe leave Scottsdale Thursday afternoon, return on Sunday or following Monday.

You 4Runner would be more than capable. The Escalante trip would not be considered a "wheeling" trip. There will be plenty of dirt roads and a couple sections that will require 4WD... but my vehicle is always extremely overbuilt for the area.

Basically, it will be a trip to see some amazing scenery and do some very cool hikes. The exact route has yet to be determined, but the trip will require everyone to be ready for car camping with trips into town everyday for refuel and food. Will bring our dog and most likely camp in a tent next to the 4Runner.

I was just wondering cause if I wasn't able to make it I thought of running up to Bluff/Montezuma Creek area and running some trails in that area, (4 corners the back way ) and try to find Poncho's House again. Along, with a few other things.

I'll keep an eye out for a date/time.

Crown King sounds like fun. If we need to kill more time on day one there is always Minnehaha Flat. All of the tractors, buildings and truck are from that area in the pics at the bottom of the page at my blog here:

Dang, I was hoping to come up this weekend and ride along with someone . Oh, well. I'll just wait until the next one. Unless, something is still in the works

Unfortunately there is quite a bit of water at Sandy Beach, so we are going to plan it when the desert dries out some more. Rain is in the forecast for this weekend as well, so right now nothing has been planned.

We'll see how the weekend pans out.

Great, it would be fun to have you out on the trail again. Reynolds and I are scouting out an alternate route for this run tomorrow.
