Condition of Martinez Loop?

You got a meet time/place? I'm dying to do something, and might be able to swing this. The thought of Martinez as a 4.5 is interesting.

I thought I posted that???? :confused:

I'll be coming up Price Rd...hitting the dirt at 9:15...unless I am the only one coming in this way...in which case I will hit the dirt as soon as I get there. Sean is coming in Via Cottonwood canyon and meeting me/whoever else at the cabins ~10am (that may be a bit optimistic depending on how many vehicles come through Box with me).

It dawned on me last night that I may not have made myself clear on this issue, so to clarify:

Everyone is invited on this run....if I wanted an invitation only run, I wouldn't post it here...so if anyone wants to go...please speak up!
 
Yeah, I'm used to meeting in a parking lot somewhere to stand around in for an hour or so and BS before getting lost at least once on the way to the trail head. I guess I could actually meet you guys near the trail, but taking wrong turns by myself won't seem quite the same without 8 trucks following.

I'll be getting into Florence around 9:00am, taking on fuel and the meeting everyone else at the Price Rd turnoff. Easy enough to find. If you prefer, you can meet me at the Chevron ~9:00am instead of Price Rd @ 9:15.

Basically, I plan on hauling butt up Price Rd and through Box Canyon (not stopping for anything on the way to the cabins). Then taking a more leisurely pace on the way out. Box Canyon is nice...not challenging (unless you are BMAN), but very scenic. This will give us the most time on the harder trail in case we need it.
 
I'm planning the same thing....I'm gonna get to CottonWood Canyon and 79 and drop the trailer and then it's non-stop fairly fast paced all the way to the Cabins. I'll be there by 10.

My wife informs me that I HAVE to be off the trail by 4pm at the latest to make a dinner engagement. I may have to cut and run early or jump out in front.....

Hey Brian,

JFYI...the AZVJC group is now going on Sunday so we should be good there.

What's up with Kyle? Is he gonna come along or what? :)


Spike, if you're in Phoenix, you may want to follow me in.....up to you, but if you go down to Florence (unless you're in Queen Creek or something) you'll be back tracking some.

Don's probably best off following Brian in through Box.

Kyles in-laws are in town. Personally, I would use that as an excuse to go...but apparently he doesn't want to be hanging out in the doghouse with his mutt. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I figured I'd roll in on Cottonwood, gimme a time and I'll be there. I'll probably get lost trying to find the cabins alone. :D

My dog doesn't even have a dog house... I guess I'll have to come over and use Cherokee's. Sorry I can't make it guys... I'd love to run Martinez since I missed out on the last run and it is one of my favorite trails.

Kyle
 
At this point, people are dropping off quick. We are down to Sean, Spike and me. Is anyone else interested? Don, how 'bout you?

I'll check here again tonight...if anyone is going to meet me @ price rd, please post up and let me know, otherwise I am going to head to the cabins as soon as I take on fuel, regardless of the time.
 
Ah, it's been awhile since I was the least capable rig on a trail. Should be fun!

Last run we got lost finding the parking lot to stand around in...
 
Sean,

I just noticed this... isn't there some law against having a driveway shot of a buggy as your avatar??? ;-)

Probably should be....but I haven't really found a pic that really shows much detail of the buggy itself with that small a pic size.

Sorry you can't make it man. Stacey and I would love to see ya again.

Hope everything's going well and congrats on the marriage.

Brian,
Last I heard, Don was still in....hopefully he'll chime in so we know if you need to wait for him or not.

Martinez 2/24

I would love to hook up with you guys again, after the fun over the Holidays. My boy Eli has baseball practice so I'm not for sure. My computers at home are all on the fritz, so this was my first chance to check up on the goings on. If I don't see you in the morn, look for me soon. I can't wait to get back out with the Cruiser Crew.

Recently, I did upper Woodpecker to lower Ajax. Also, we just did a trail behind four peaks area south of 87 that was fun.
