Hey Everyone,
My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting this!
I'm trying to avoid anything near Turkey Day, and elevation for snowy conditions, but the stage is set for November 31st (Dec 1).
I've been wanting to do Dripping Springs, I missed it last year so we'll give it a go. For the moment (unless anyone can chime in) it'll be a day trip, but I am going to pre-run it Saturday Nov 10, leaving my house in Chandler about 7am if anyone cares to join me.With the anticipation that we can find a decent spot for a few rowdy folks to camp out.
My kids have 4 paws, so dog friendly run.
For the run itself...
Meeting Place: Chevron - 2075 Miller Road, Buckeye
Meeting Time: Anytime after 7:45am
Leaving Time: 8:30am
Destination: Dripping Springs near Quartzite Exit 26 near Gold Nugget Road
Ham: 146.600
CB: Throw in garbage buy a Ham then tune to 146.600
Well the pre-run today was successful because I got lost 6 times and now I know the way. It'll be a fun run! If you like your paint you should not come! haha there is a fresh coat of desert pin strip all over the truck. It is definitely not a trail to drag a trailer through but I wouldn't be opposed to setting up camp somewhere else before the run, I'm open to ideas.
It's stock friendly for those with experience, but for the inexperienced....don't be afraid to ask for help, or for someone to drive your rig. About 20 minutes after I said to myself "this trail sucks" I followed up by saying "omg I'm going to die" there is one obstacle that is far worse then the "alternate route difficult section" my experience got me through but it's the first time in awhile that my slider is scratched to bare metal.
But overall looking forward to the run with everyone, let's plan on having lunch at Dripping Springs, we'll take the alternate route out and it should land us in Quartzite around 2-3 pm, then 2 hours back to the valley.
