*******Revised trip******. Mount Ord is not possible so we will only be running one trail in and out.
I will be leading a March run of the month with only one component, a run out FR393 to the back of Bartlett Lake.
Plan meet up at 7:30 at the Ba’Ja Chevron gas station across from the Weekopah Casino on the Beeline Highway 87. Address for Ba’Ja: 10180 N Fort McDowell Rd, Fort McDowell, AZ 85264. Be gassed up and ready to depart by 7:45am. We will air down at the bottom of the hill for our trip up the mountain. Maybe pack a lunch if you want to spend time exploring or stopping to take in the desert scenery.
FR393 to the backside of Bartlett lake and camp overnight and we will also lead people in and back out for those wanting just a day trip. This is a fun trail, I pre-ran it today with Alvis, and it has some good washouts and off camber driving, while only 12 miles long it will take our group 3 hours to reach the lake at best. My best estimate is that we will reach the lake around 11am. The camp area is by the lake and is sandy but not very level near the water. Evening temps can be cool, we will have a fire if allowed but people should dress warm for the evening but the daytime temps could be warm.
I’m looking forward to seeing some new faces and some familiar ones for this outing.
We did come out Log Corral in case anyone asks, it is definitely not something most people will want to run. Plan on driving back out 363 the way we came in Sunday morning.
