Please add Jeff & I. We'd like to do the moderate route please. We're working on what to bring; I'll get back to you on that; probably a finger food appetizer of some kind, unless you see anything that's obviously missing that we should bring.

Only a few days till the fun - Looking forward to seeing you all there!

 

A few last minute notes...

 

If you might not make it, please let us know ASAP - especially if you are signed up for something other than a random side dish!

 

Weather: Looks like some rain today and tomorrow should keep the dust down. It's supposed to be clear and sunny with a high of about 60* on Saturday.

 

 

Reminder of meetup times/locations - please be on time, or you will get left behind!

 

Meetup / Trail Info:

 

  • Option #1 - Short/Direct Easy Ride to the party:
    • Meet @4x4tographer at 10:00AM in the gravel parking lot beside Wild Horse West restaurant. Click here for a map...
    • Please arrive fueled up and ready to go! Note there is a gas station right next door.
    • This shorter route to the party is via a sandy wash, doable by most any high-clearance 2wd truck or suv. 

 

  • Option #2 - Moderate Trail Ride to the party:
    • Meet @theksmith at 9:00AM at the Boulders OHV staging area (far end, near the pit toilets). Click here for a map...
    • This trail is doable by a stock high-clearance 4wd rig with a 4-LO transfer case option and aggressive A/T or M/T tires, such as a Wrangler or Tacoma. Other rigs might need a small 1" or 2" lift. Suitable solid-mounted front or rear recovery points are required. Trail is fun  and scenic, hilly, rutted in some places requiring articulation, and has one short steep climb.
