Weeeeeeeeeelllllllllll it sure seems like it has been a looooooonnnnnnngggg time since I have been on a run... So, I am planning a trek to Crown King (back way from Lake Pleasant) on August 12th, 2017... If you’re interested in joining us, we will meet at New River Road & Carefree Highway on the Northwest corner at 8:30 AM... Woooooo Hoooooo...... We will be eating lunch in CK, you can choose The Saloon, the sandwich shop or the Mill up on the hill, or just hang with us until we are ready to leave… Oh, and also stop and get some fudge too at the General Store for the ride down the hill.... Muuuahahahahahahahah.... I am setting a limit of 12 vehicles for this run. I have heard that some of the obstacles might have changed, hmmm maybe better for JEEPS.... MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Once everyone who is going is at the meet up zone, we will take off to the air down spot where those of us who want to, will air down, disconnect or whatever we do to our Jeeps to make them trail ready.... Plan on an all-day fun trail ride...

 

COMMUNICATIONS: Talk in frequency will be 147.240 + offset PL Tone 162.2, once we leave the meet up spot we will use SIMPLEX 147.520
