August ROTM 2014 - Payson 8/31/2014 (2 Viewers)

[WTFJ80]

A friend of mine is interested in joining. He has a completely stock 2015 Subaru Forester. I haven't been on this trail, so not sure if he would make it safely though. Any insight?

The first 1/2 I would say no. Medtro just ran the second 1/2 hoping he will chime in.

FR 74 Hwy 87 to Flowing Springs road

The road out of Flowing springs to Hwy 87 is graded dirt along the way is a rest room stop at the camp grounds

Crakerjack road to Baby Doll Ranch

The trail ends at water and I hear is a very spot to stop and relax. Road out of Baby Doll Ranch to Payson is graded dirt for the most part

Just to verify, this is on Sunday correct? I thought we had discussed Saturday at the August CSC meeting.

It's Sunday the 31st as the orignal post states. Did not realize it was labor day weekend so Monday is off for a lot or people but I thought it was Saturday until I chekc the post again.

I wasnt sure if I could make it - but shuffled some things around. See you at Baja 7:15

** I plan on camping overnight - anyone else thinking the same?

I would drive my Subaru Forester on the second half. I don't remember seeing anything that could cause problem.

 

[Dissent]

Perfect, thanks Rudster, see you at Baja at 7:15 on Sunday the 31st. My OCD is kicking in!

I'll meet you guys at the Home Depot, 9am.

If I go I will most likely take the 100 series

Not planning on Camping this go around

I'd like to join up. How long is the run?

 

[brices123]

Would our stock 200 be fine on this run? If not, I have to leave tomorrow morning in the 91 .

Bringing the wife, and maybe the dog. Murf, where are you thinking about camping?

 

[murf]

If Phil is taking his almost stock 100, then the 200 should be ok?

I am open on where to camp Brice - any suggestions? Otherwise we can go up on the rim (might be cold?!) or stay down near Payson by the East Verde ~

Everyone is welcome to join this run. You don't have to be a CSC member to join the run.

Only if the Jeep owner can promise it won't break down or get stuck.

[ftbshop]

I'm in for camping too. I've got some camping places if you run out of ideas
