I am planning a trip to Florence next Saturday the 24th to hit up either The Coke Ovens or Martinez Mine. I all depends on how deep the river is and if it is crossable. My friend Bill lives in that area and he is going to do a pre-run on Wednesday to check on the river - if it is crossable, we are going to go to the Coke Ovens and if its not, Martinez Mine it is.

So far heres the "for sures" going:

Myself - 89 4Runner, 3" lift, 33's, locker, lots of armor
Stacy - 07 FJC, 2.5" lift, locker, sliders
Bill - 96 (I think) Land Rover - 33's - solid axles
Klye - 95 Cherokee - 10" lift, 37" swampers, exo-cage, welded diffs

If you are interested in coming, please let us know and tell us a little about your rig.

 

definately let us know later in the week which trail you will be running.

might consider the drive if its for martinez, been a couple years since i ran it.

 

The pre-run was done yesterday, according to my friend, ther river is only about 6 inches deep - so there should be no issue with crossing.

Therefore we are going to be going to The Coke Ovens! Meet up is going to be in Queen Creek at the Frys on Hunt Highway around 8-8:30ish

542 E Hunt Hwy, Queen Creek, AZ

So far, here is the line up:

Jeff - 89 4Runner
Stacy - 07 FJ Cruiser
Bill - 98 Land Rover
Kyle- 95 Geep Cherokee

Anyone else in???

 

I'd really like to go but don't have that much time to burn. have fun out there. hopefully I can get in on the next run.

 

I've got a check in the mail so if it gets here tomorrow I'll definetely be going. I'll give you informed.
