[ShottsUZJ100]

OK EVERYBODY, FRIDAY'S OUR COOLEST DAY IN TUCSON (95) AND SOME OF US ALREADY TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK. ANYBODY ELSE OFF WORK, WANNA DO A RUN....OR JUST PLAY HOOKIE? THEN COME ON OUT!

When: Friday (10th)
Where: Oracle Circle K (just off AZ 77...turn right where you head into the town)
What time: 9:30 AM (pull out 9:45)(About 2 hours from Phoenix)
Duration: ~6 hours
Difficulty: 3.0-3.5 (we'll still give that Step a 4.0)
Lockers?: Not required, though will be needed on optional paths/obstacles
Brush: Mostly light though some tight spots exist
Trip Leader: John and Becky Shotts (FZJ80)

Weather 80-90 degrees along the trail (bring freon )

We'll head up the dozed side to the Step. Climb that sucker then head up to the Gap. The ride down the Catalina side is a roller coaster of twists, turns, drops, and wheel lifts. We'll take a break at the slickrock and get crazy there. Then.....home for a jacuzzi and shower.

I don't do that stuff any more, but whatever curdles your cream is your business
See you there, We'll see if i can put some more scratches on that new bumper. I went into Chiva last Sunday and gave some rock a little kiss. Less than 2 weeks old and already scuffed

Hey "Old Used One" don't make it any hotter than it needs to be! Weather.com is calling for 90* on Friday, going to be a nice day!

Not worried about the rear bumper on that little bump, got a nice trailer hitch to drag! It's that big fat ugly ARB POS on the front that will cause problems.

CB #4?

 

[MaddBaggins]

I'm not to proud to drive around that if I have to!
Besides if I were to finish the destruction job on whats left of my rear bumper, I would then be forced to get to work on my new one sooner.

Ya, but it's the hitch dragging that stops the climb.

Buggy?

Good eye! Brian did winch up Randy's Lexus. Readin' this Tools? Randy got hung up on his hitch and couldn't go up or back down. Tools: Get that hitch off for tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Alvin, and I would like to offer my grooming services!

 

[el_diabolico]

I'd love to join you guys, but I broke a birf last saturday doing Montana Peak. At least now I can convince momma I really need to buy that disc brake axle & save a few bucks along the way rather than replace the birf now and get the disc axle later

Maybe next time.

 

[Tools R Us]

There will be some open seats if you want to ride?

 

[Scott68FJ40]

Damn, this sounds like a lot of fun, but I will be spending the entire weekend, starting on Friday morning at Ventana Canyon playing golf.

 

[el_diabolico]

You live the good life, Scott .

Turns out we lost a well last nite, so gotta pull it & fix it. Enjoy guys.
