According to the weather forecast, 50% chance rain for this coming Saturday. I will wait for your decision whether to keep OHV trip as planned or postponed. 

 

I am watching the forecast evolve over the week. I'll make a decision Thursday or Friday once the hourly forecast start covering Saturday if we need to change it. I see NOAA has it at 50% chance. Accuweather and TWC have it pegged right now at just over 20%.

As great as this run looks, the weather is saying we're going to get wet. I think I'll have to bow out for this weekend. Are you thinking of a re-schedlue?

According to the weather forecast, it is only 15% chance of rain this Saturday but later in the evening, it will be about 35% chance of rain.  I will be there Saturday morning with you guys if Woody decides to keep the offroad event as planned. My two friends will ride in my Jeep Cherokee. I will support Woody’s decision if he decides to postpone it. Thanks. 😊

The run is postponed to next week, Saturday October 4th.

Hey I have a 2 nighter camping trip planned for next weekend so I’ll have to pass on going if we moved it to Sunday I could but I don’t want you changing it because of just me but if everyone is able to make Sunday that would work for me

Unfortunately I can’t make it next week, I have a trip to white pocket and Utah planned. I’ll have to catch the next one, thanks!

I'm on the Mogollon Rim 2-night run next week, so I'll be out for next week.

Hello everyone! First post here! Any chance a Subaru Crosstrek 2021 with off road tires, skid plates and lift(at around 10 to 12 inches of ground clearance) can make this run? If not this site will probably be the reason I eventually get into a more serious off roader 😅. Been looking to sync with a group for a while. Hung out a bit with Softroadnation but they've been less active lately.

Yes a Crosstrek should be Ok. You might have to pick your line carefully in one spot, but we can spot you if you want.

Awesome, thank you! I would definitely appreciate the spotting. Sign me up then! I have to enroll on the membership, correct? I will gladly do so.  How long time wise is the run? Just ballpark as my wife has an early fly on Sunday so just need an idea of what time we would be back in Phoenix.
