looking for interest in Oct/Nov for overlanding Mogollon Rim (arizona).

[Live to Ski]

You've heard it before, you'll hear it again....throwing out for interest in potential Mogollon Rim run. this is 6- 8 hrs from south OC (depending on which end of the trail).

Carlos (tan 100 series) and Joe R. have expressed interest.

Special note: this is much better than the 19hrs +/- of the originally pitched Owyhee Canyonlands. Weather is better as well.

Interesting fact: per Joe R, Louis L'Amour seems to have used the rim as a backdrop to some of his western/cowboy tales.

Thinking late october departue.

180 miles, figure 5 to 10 days depending on urgency (note that lake Havasu/Laughlin are approx 1/2 way...nice pit stop/bed/shower/meal on return).

See attached "Mogollon Rim Discovery Trail" for description and "Gemini 260612 mogollon rim arizona weather early to late fall" for preview.

girls y guys, I WAS looking at this as a "come up for air" trip based on previously mentioned life issues.

As you may (may not) remember, I had minor hand surgery at the end of July. A not-unexpected complication forces me to throw the towl in on this trip

Hopefully the new year will give me some bandwidth.

Keep on keeping on

To be able to throw....
Hand surgery must have been a success! Haha

As most of you may know, I just did these trails (East & West) as the conclusion to my cross-country trip. They are both great trails, but Rim Road West is much more scenic, with some really nice vistas. Both have some very nice potential camping, both primitive dispersed & designated sites.

I could be talked into doing it again, but I could not do it this year. If you’d like to talk it over with me, I would be glad to share my insights. Feel free to call or text me (PM me if you need my phone number).
