untilCamp Verde To Mogollon Rim Overland Style Run Friday June 16th & Saturday June 17th Primitive Tent Camping | No Facilities Join me for 2 days and approximately 105 miles of exploration on this overland style run. This route will take us from Camp Verde to the Mogollon Rim where we will camp. I have pieced this together using various trails in the area. Most of these trails are easy to moderate based on my research, nothing too technical is involved. There some rocky two track sections mixed for good measure. Extra fuel is not necessarily required, however, if you have the ability to bring some it is worth considering doing so. Note this is an Offroad Passport Club members-only event.

Mogollon Rim- 7-16-22 - Easy To Moderate
shellback91 posted a topic in Trip & Event Planning/Sign-up
Mogollon Rim- 7-16-22 - Easy To Moderate My wife and I will be in Payson 7-15 through 7-17 escaping the summer heat. She is not a camping person so we are staying at a hotel in town. There are camping spots all over up there if you want to camp Friday(7-15) or Saturday night or both nights. My plan is to run a few easy Mogollon Rim trails on 7-16 while we are up there. I want to revisit the area and check out some cabins, one of which is a short hike off one of the trails. If my math is correct we are looking at about 60 miles total. These are mainly easy trails where, based on prior experience, we can make good time. Here's the trails I have mapped out. Rim Road- I am starting on the East side off of HWY 260. This will be run West to the next trail. Cabin Loop Trail- We will run a good portion of this trail over to the next trail. FR 139G- We will run this short 2 mile trail south. Per TrailsOffroad there is an old homestead next to Aspen Spring that is worth checking out. They say the hike is easy and less than a 1/2 mile(one way) off this trail. Dick Hart Ridge- The previous trail ends here so we will continue south until this trail ends at Rim Road(FR 300) Rim Road- We will run this West to HWY 87 from where Dick Hart Ridge ends. . Meet-Up & Departure: Time: 0830 at the Rim Road trailhead off of Hwy 260. (Old Rim Road Visitor Center) There is an area there for all of us to stage up and air down. If folks want to meet 30 minutes earlier I am open to that as well. Depart NLT 0900 Google Map here. No service stations near by, recommend to top off off in or around Payson on the way in. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This trip is subject to cancellation or postponement due to rain, fire, inclement weather or $10 a gallon gas.🤣 Communications: GMRS - Channel 20 (462.675 MHz) Other Considerations: Plenty Of Water & Food (pack a lunch and snacks!) Dress for the weather. Folding chairs Sunscreen Camera Emergency supplies / Med Kit No facilities, plan accordingly DRIVER & VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS This trail is suitable for beginner for 4x4 enthusiasts. Be advised there is a good mix of terrain including but not limited to some mild off camber sections and loose rock in various spots. Vehicle Minimums: All vehicles are required to meet state legal requirements, (i.e.: current registration and insurance) Each vehicle must have a GMRS or HAM Radio in good working order Have functional seat-belts for each occupant Must have suitable recovery points front and rear High-clearance 4x4's with low-range 30"+ aggressive all-terrain or mud-terrain tires SIGN-UPS Post a reply in this thread saying you'd like to go and I'll put you on the roster! I am setting it at 10 including me for now. Once the limit is reached, anyone asking to sign-up will be placed on the standby list. Please don't hesitate to sign-up as a standby because people often do drop-out so you may get to still go. @shellback91 & Mrs. shellback91 @Large_Marge @Ken Ford @ZR2-Ben @English Al @Jbjr Standby -

What: ORP Meet & Greet at the Pavilions Rock & Roll Car Show in Scottsdale, AZ. The car show at the Pavilions shopping area in Scottsdale is the perfect opportunity to get the ORP fam together for a Meet & Greet! When: Saturday, April 30, 2022 The car show official time is 4:00 - 8:00 PM Cars (Jeeps/Rigs) may begin parking in Car Show Parking Area at 3:00PM Cars (Jeeps/Rigs) that want to park in the Car Show Parking Area should arrive/group up before 3:00 Where: The Pavilions at Talking Stick - North side of street Main Entrance Address: 9120 East, Talking Stick Way (aka Indian Bend Road), Scottsdale, AZ 85250 Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/LBAgNQJHn3Z4owrM8 Things to know: The car show is held on the north side of Talking Stick Way, behind Union 76 Gas Station, McDonalds, Denny's, Panda Express Car show parking fills up fast! Rigs that want to be in the Car Show area should show up earlier than 3:00. If you run a little late and miss parking with the group, there is still plenty of parking in front of the Home Depot. Bring chairs, snacks and or beverages. McDonalds and lots of other restaurants nearby. It's fun to walk the car show rows! It's also great to have people stop and ask questions about your rig! Helpful Tips: If a few rigs are willing to meet up early (like right when they start letting cars in) they could "save an ORP spot". *As of the last time we were there* it was okay for the early arrivers to save spots with chairs and ice chests. Sign-Ups: No Rig Limits! Everyone Welcome! Let's fill the place up with Offroad Rig Beauty! @theksmith @4x4tographer @shellback91 @lofreqjeff @johnpa @Toy4runr85 @J2DXPLR @Dennis Szymanski @K2man56 @SonoranWanderer Please reply to this thread if you plan to be there so we can watch for you!- 35 replies

FYI - The name is a joke, there's nothing even close to "formal" about this event! UPDATE: The location has changed to a dry/dispersed campsite instead of the campground, see below! This year the party is in Cottonwood, AZ! We've got plenty of fun planned (even beyond the fireside shenanigans and general good time!). Attend an easy to moderate trail ride on Saturday, or just play tourist in Cottonwood, Jerome or Sedona (did someone say winery tour?).

So grab the family and come spend a weekend tent or RV camping with us. Don't be that person hearing about all the great stuff you missed for the next whole year - sign up now! Location: Our original campground reservation was canceled due to COVID-19... Location confirmed! We've found a dispersed camp spot accessible by higher-clearance trucks/SUVs and RVs. It's 30 minutes east of Camp Verde, just off AZ Hwy 260 on Forest Road 142H. I don't believe the Forest Road is signed with a number, so you'll need the map or GPS coords below. Google Maps link...

Just in case, we have a backup location about 10 miles away, right off AZ Hwy 87. Cost: Camping Cost: There is no longer a camping fee due to the change in location, please contact us if you pre-paid and did not already receive a full refund. Suggested Donation: This is our annual fundraising event and a donation of $15/person (adult) would be greatly appreciated. We're not doing a raffle or receiving anything from campsite fees this year.

Dinner (self-prepared) and social time, be sure to welcome any new faces!

It's time for Offroad Passport's Annual Holiday Party after the holidays! Join us for a short trail ride (4x4 easy) and big time fun. Offroad Passport provides the burgers & dogs with members bringing side items for a potluck lunch in the desert. There's also the infamous cut-throat white elephant gift exchange and annual cookie contest (and judging, YUM!). After all the fun and excitement we head back to pavement, probably airing up by mid-afternoon. It's an awesome way to wind down the holidays with your Offroad Passport friends! Hey everyone!!! Please note that due to recent rainy weather and local flooding, the location for this year's holiday party has changed!! Open to Everyone: Sign up & more info click here...

Sunday we went out to explore Willow Springs Canyon near Apache Junction, AZ. It had been probably about 15 years since George and I had been there, so we had no idea what the conditions would be like currently. Turns out that the Willow Springs trail is easy, and the scenery is just spectacular. We were there on a cloudy and partly rainy day, and the desert colors came alive. There'd been so much rain lately, that the area is super green and lush; a rarity in AZ. Along for the ride were @theksmith, @klaykrusher, and @gearhead. We came to this optional obstacle area, but none of us attempted it because everything was so wet we were afraid to slip off. So we continued on down the trail. Until we came to this We could see that offroad buggies could go through that, but not us. So that was the end of the trail for us, and we decided to find a good lunch spot. After lunch, we headed back the way we came. The rainy day views were breath-taking. Hey @Lichen! We saw lots of lichen. The story continues in the Club Only section. Thanks everyone who came out on a rainy day!!
