Hittin' Ridgeback (2 Viewers)

[RUSH55]

Anyone up for hittin' a pretty cool rock crawl trail by Cordes Jct. Called Ridgeback? I'd say it's prolly a good solid 3. I put a couple dents in my rear driver side q-panel and cut my rear d-shaft in half. But that was before the PS and low gears. Been wanting to kick this trail's ass for a while now. It's pretty short, but there's some other trails in the area which I haven't explored yet. Looking down the road to Nov. or early Dec., and may try to get a j**p guy to come to show some other trails. I'll post some pics within a couple days.

I would be into a new trail - Early Dec, I might make it

 

[RHINO]

wow talk about early notice, heck yeah i'll be there. gives me time for a few exploratory runs i'm gonna do.

It's come down to Dec. 3rd. I'm still doing this one. Could be the last rock crawl 4x trip for me for a while.

Thats a 3? Are you sure your scale isn't a little off?

No, I don't think it's off by much. Trail ratings and obstacle ratings can differ.

 

[RHINO]

eh? well whatever it is i'm down to run it. and depending what you want to do for time we can certainly run down to table mesa and i can show you the terminators or something.

 

[RUSH55]

You've already showed me Terminator. Though it may be cool to run it this time. How about Judgement Day? I say we meet in Cordes Jct. about 9am.

 

[RHINO]

i showed you lower but not upper. i'm down for ridgeback, then whatever.

 

[RUSH55]

Once again, I'll just shout to let anyone who's interested in doing some medium rock crawling next week end (Dec. 3). Cordes Jct. area, I know at least me and RHINO are going. I will add to those that may have been turned off by my first post about the carnage, was that my rig was nearly stock, really only mod was suspension and 33" tires. PS, 35's and lower crawl gearing will help tremendously.

 

[RHINO]

im still down buddy!

 

[RUSH55]

Two Pigs are better than none!

CHIT! Bad weekend for me. I've been wantin to hit some northern rocks. I'm trying to get back out to Ajax to run Upper on the 3rd.

What time will you be hitting Bloody basin? I might be able to meet for that part.

Would love to see some ruins/ ghost towns that I haven't seen yet.

 

[RHINO]

dunno, maybe noonish. you should be able to call me.

 

[xrock]

The wife and I would like to meet ya so give me a call when you're leaving Ridgeback. We'll be in Anthem ready to go and will shoot out to meet ya.

[RHINO]

you got it!

 

[RUSH55]

Well, our plans changed a little when we determined that the Ridgeback trail, which is now the Ridgeback Creek, was washed out to the point of probably getting ourselves in trouble. So we opted to have a different fist half of the day, and messed around in the Agua Fria river. For the second half we cruised down Bloody Basin road to Squaw Creek to chek out a couple of large Indian ruins and an old mining camp.

Getting stuck in some quicksand type mud, but was able to avoid any BD.

This is all I have room for. Need to get my freakin' star.
