As Michael said it's very tight, had to plan the line onto the next rock and come off of the rock we were on at the right angle, there was little or no room to maneuver between them. It was a fun spot, you and BMAN would have a good time in there. I would like to try it up hill, but will wait...
We still hadn't had enough, so we crossed the highway and ran trail 11 to Four Peaks road. Found this nice late model Dodge that needs to be removed. Dude it's got a hemi.:rolleyes:
Back into Sycamore, a bunch of water crossings and out to the highway at Mesquite wash. These signs were at all of the trail heads, don't know that they are doing any good. From our observations Bud Light is the beer of choice on AZ trails, by far the most popular litter.:mad:
Awesome trails today!:cool: Same group as Friday, we started at Sycamore and found a way to Mesquite wash, not on the trails we thought, but made it work. After Sycamore it was some high ridge running then some trail 42 type cross axle, wheel lift stuff. Killer scenery the whole way.:D
Unfortunately we had carnage!:o Michael sat on a cactus and Claudia had to remove the offending spines.:eek:
We had a first, when we drive through Fort Misery a heep group was having lunch, one of their dogs started following Claudia! It was a well trained trail dog and followed her truck...
One of the downsides of the grading is greatly increased traffic, in the old days when you arrived at painted rocks the washouts told you that this road isn't maintained and more drivers took another route. Now it's a smooth as the rest of Cow Creek and more drivers are continuing only to get in...
The group for Crown King was Claudia, Michael, Rob, Sue and I, perfect weather made for a fun day. Unfortunately the trail has been aggressively bladed to Fort Misery, in several places they bladed the obstacles, leaving the old bypass as the "hard line".:confused: :mad:
The plan is to go in Upper Sycamore then play on 1453 and return to Beeline on 160 at Mesquite wash. None of us have been there, so no idea of trail difficulty, or if we will make it the whole way.
Meeting at the Baja gas station across from the casino on Beeline HWY, a couple of miles after...
After turkey day wheeling! The trail is the backway to Crown King, looks like we are going to have great weather, forcast for a high of 62F.
Meeting at; The Chevron gas station on Carefree Highway, east of I-17 at 8:45AM, pull out at 9:00AM. There is a grocery store, fast food restaurant...
