day run: Back Way Crown King Saturday 8/24/19
Bradywgn71 posted a topic in Trip & Event Planning/Sign-up
Posting this on behalf of Craigger.... Craig and Alaina are running the backway to Crown King on Saturday 8/24/19 and would like to welcome you to join them. They are spending the night up there at an Inn but you can return home down the front side if you'd prefer. this trail is rated moderate. 4x4 low range, aggressive tires, basic skid plates, and at least one frame-mounted recovery point are required. a small lift is recommended. for those not familiar with it, the trail takes about 4 hours to go from Lake Pleasant to Crown King where there is a bar/restaurant plus a little store with gas (usually) and not much else. then you take a gravel road down to the I-17 to return to Phoenix. the return trip takes a couple hours. Crown King is about 5,700 feet in elevation so it should be a fair bit cooler there. Meetup Time: 10am Where: Lake Pleasant area. Where Rt 74 and castle hot Springs meets. Parking area on the right (33°50'06.3"N 112°18'55.6"W). N Castle Hot Springs Rd, Morristown, AZ 85342 GPS Meetup: 33.835069, -112.315440 What to bring: Plenty of water, snacks, can have lunch at the Saloon on top. CB Channel 4 -
I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, if so please move it. I’m wanting to check out Bulldog Canyon in a couple weeks, maybe the 1st. I’ve never been there and I do have a permit. Would anyone want to lead a day run out there? I am also wondering if anyone has been through there on a holiday weekend. If so is it crowded or just a normal amount of folks out there?

join me for a evening run up a tall peak on the north side of Lake Pleasant. hopefully we'll have timed it just right to enjoy a great sunset view of the lake from the top. we'll return the way we came (but in the dark!) and should be back on Castle Hot Springs road to air up by 10pm depending on the group size. the trail is on the easier side of "moderate". there are no specific major obstacles but the track is full of softball to bowling ball sized loose rocks on a couple of steep climbs. Meetup: - Sat 8/3/19, be fueled & ready at 5pm! - meet in the McDonalds/Albertsons parking lot on Carefree Highway just east of I-17. Map here... Required: - a street-legal 4x4 high clearance rig with 4-low, oversized A/T or M/T tires, skid plates - propper front or rear tow points - most rigs will need a small budget lift (or lockers and great skid plate coverage) Other Info: - limited to 6 rigs total due to parking/turn-around space at the top - CB channel 4, ham simplex 146.46 Mhz - bring plenty of water and snacks (FYI, we won't be stopping till we reach the top except for bathroom breaks so eat before you come or bring something for a late dinner) - bring your camera and a chair Leading: 1. theksmith Attending: 2.

tower by Jason Montes, on Flickr juniper pano by Jason Montes, on Flickr Trail/Area: This will more or less be exploratory as I have never come in from the South side of Juniper Ridge. We will come down the North side and maybe even cross the 260 and continue on. Im fairly certain most of this will be easy to barely moderate. Usual forest roads and possibly some ruts and washes to cross. We'll be taking our time and stopping for random things that may pop up. Will have lunch at the top of Juniper Ridge at the lookout. In general we will take fr136 to Joe Tank, then fr143 up to juniper and 143c back down. GPX file ready to send for those attending! Itinerary: Meet at Circle K on the 260 and Cooley St, West end of Show Low. 9am-ish Head to the trail head, air down slightly and roll out!

From the mall-crawlin’ folks, who brought you March Madness: ROCKTOBERFEST is three of the Kingman area’s most difficult runs in three days. We’ll warm up on Devil’s Dip and move on to the first challenge – Serendipity with it’s legendary Gatekeeper. Day 2 will find us a stone’s throw from historic Oatman, AZ. At Hard Ass with a gatekeeper that makes Serendipity’s feel like a warmup. Day 3, is Pig Iron. A run east of Kingman in the Hualapai Mountain foothills, that simply takes no prisoners. On Serendipity, we’ll do the balancing act through the gatekeeper, but then we’ll do the “WHOLE” Serendipity trail, including all three waterfalls. At Hardass, you’ll find out very quickly, why a winch is required. If yours doesn’t work you won’t make it through the Gatekeeper. Pig Iron is typical Kingman brutal – big rocks (that move) and loose sand. Even a lot of the local hardasses take a pass when it’s time to take a shot on this one. Rocktoberfest stickers will be available to all participants with trail stickers for every vehicle that completes a trail. A limited number of Rocktoberfest T-shirts will also be available. Meet at the Powerhouse Visitor Center in Kingman at 9 a.m. each day and convoy to the trailhead. Three days of grade 7 to 9 trails and obstacles. Assigned spotters will be available. REQUIREMENTS: 33-inch tires or larger, high clearance, front and rear lockers, winch, recovery points, roll bar, cage or hardtop, fire extinguisher – none of the preceding will be waived. Must be willing to accept body and/or mechanical damage. Must register and submit a signed waiver. Registration is possible now on Offroaddance.com The number of run registrants will be limited. Pre- and post-run events will be held at Black Bridge Brewery in downtown Kingman. Sponsored by: OffRoadDance.com OffRoadPassport Black Bridge Brewery Rocks And Wheels -

***CANCELLED*** Join us for a day run from Rio Rico to Patagonia this Saturday, 2/3/18. Steep hill climb to the 4 Metals Mine, over the top to the Mowry Mine, then explore the Harshaw Cemetery on the way to Patagonia. If enough interest we can make a quick stop at the border where the old railroad rail fence meets the new. Last stop will be in Patagonia by 5:00 where you can find a place to eat dinner or head home. From Patagonia it's about 60 miles via 82 & 83 to the intersection of I10 & I19 in South Tucson. No serious challenges on this run but the road running up to the 4 Metals Mine is loose gravel and steep. Suitable for mildly modified vehicles with good clearance and at least 1 locker. Stock Rubicons OK. Pack a lunch and plenty to drink. All attendees must sign a waiver that I will provide. Ladies are cordially invited. -
If anyone is free this Saturday and has ideas on a trail they want to run post a reply I am located in the Tucson area
