sounds like fun ! how far up the highway is it?

 

[-Spike-]

I'd call it 2/3rds of the way to Payson, but that's a guess.

IIRC ~25 miles from the meet point? The turnoff is near mile marker 222, Mt Ord exit.

why do you think it will be fun to be in a wash-out

there were a few flurries here earlier tonight, just before the rain

I don't think it will be washed out bad enough to to stop us? Yes there will be more exposed rock, etc. This is from 1-1-05, the next day after a huge storm and these massively modified rigs made it to the mine and back!

Don't listen to her. It's just the usual pre-run whining.

We'll see how far we get, provided we (I?) don't break stuff before Monday...

I'm not wheeling in the snow, though.

Snow is for skiing.

Last time the wet made for a great day. A shot at the first creek crossing on the loop, one after the processing center near the mine and of the creek by the trail. None of the crossings were over the hub.

Areas along AZ 87, U.S. 60 closed due to weather

Hmmm. I suppose we could use SR393 there and back.

Apparently according to ADOT's online road checker (www.az511.com) the 87 has no closures now.

[justweldit]

is there a place to park a trailer there? i dont like driving mine down the highway much

 

[msahr]

Yup. Gonna be kinda cold in the 40 tho...

 

[Tools R Us]

Plenty of tow rig parking at the trail head.

 

[-Spike-]

I may have tricked a friend into driving his (leased) FJC on this run. Hope it's not too ugly...

-Spike (Did I say tricked? I meant 'talked'. Yeah, that's it.)

 

[Sisu]

Who says we're friends?
See you at 9:00 am.

 

[-Spike-]

Well, we did share dessert at the restaurant on Friday night. I figured that qualifies as at least friends...

BTW, I'm bringing the whole fam damily.
