Disabled Explorers Toroweap,Z March 19-21

[1leglance]

Disabled Explorers is fullfilling a "bucket list wish"....not that our participant is going to die anytime soon. He just has always wanted to see the Grand Canyon and the Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions will allow him to really enjoy his adventure. However he has a limited schedule for travel so..

This will be a fast dash from Phx to Toroweap on Friday March 19th, some hanging out and maybe driving on Saturday, then a slower return on Sunday checking out some sites along the way.

We are opening up this trip to 3 other rigs who would like to join DE, of course 1st preference will go to folks who are willing to donate to help cover the cost of getting our participant the trip of his dreams, or if you are willing to be the picture taker, video shooter or such.

I have been keeping an eye on the 10 day forecast as our depature grows near.
Looks sunny & almost 60deg...if that keeps up then no rain/slick roads worry.

This trip is being limited to 4 rigs, so if you are interested please chime in soon. Nothing like a fast dash to a beautiful area

11 days till our adventure..the forecast has a 60% chance of rain a couple of days before our outing, I really hope it either doesn't rain, rains lightly or rains and passes before we get up there

As much as I would like to reschedule this we are locked into his travel plans which can't change.

It would be good to have another rig along for safety and security..anyone willing to take a Friday off work and come have some fun with our Canadian visitor?

The road from Mount Trumbull (aka Bundyville) gets very slippery after a rain. If the road is remotely doable--do it. The overlook is so fricking awesome you'll just lay on your stomach, at the edge, looking up and down the canyon for an hour straight. You could also head to the Bar 10 Ranch south of Mt Trumbull and see if you can persaude the helicopter pilot from the dude ranch to take you up....
