ShottsUZJ100 · 03-30-09, 06:14 PM

ARE YOU READY? Saturday is the day. Please allow me to clarify a few things about the trip(s):

*Any STOCK Land Cruiser or FJ Cruiser can complete the Chiva and Rice Peak runs.
**The Chiva Falls trail has difficult obstacles though almost all have bypasses. Don't let the pics freak you out if you have a stocker. There will be a few places where a stock vehicle will need a spot, but all should be well.
**The Rice Peak trail is the "scenic" run of the weekend. It's mostly laid back requiring little concentration though there are a few really steep areas where your eyes will be alert. Again, OK For any stock LC or FJC.

NOTE: For those who are not coming to Chiva on Saturday but are thinking they have Sunday open and want to run Rice, you can meet us in Oracle at the Circle K at 9:30. It'll be the FIRST Circle K on the WEST side of town right past the BUSINESS AREA entrance off of AZ77. (There's another CircleK in the MIDDLE of town and that is NOT the meet spot) The overnight group who is meeting in Marana at 8:30 will convoy to Oracle to pick up Sunday-only runners. So you see, there's lots of options. The Rice PEak Loop run will only take about 3-4 hours MAX...GUARANTEED...so a return to home is cake and makes for a nice Sunday drive.

Meeting places, hotels, other scoop....all on the forum at: http://forum.ih8mud.com/az-arizona-l...ml#post4274524

OK, so who all's coming who hasn't signed up yet? Trust me....CHIVA FALLS TRAIL IS OUR FAVORITE IN ALL OF ARIZONA! It's a blast for every vehicle build from stock to mild to wild.
