Pentax K200D.
You din't see much traffic cos they were all up on the Rim with us. Took most of Fri afternoon to find a campsite that din't have 8 trucks in it.
But, on the bright side, we had better weather. Sprinkles each a.m. Thunder in the afternoon. Cold at night. It was awesome.
We din't do any actual wheeling, tho. Just wanted to camp and get out of the heat.
It took 4 hours to 101/202 from 260/FR300.
Less than 2.5 hours to get up the same hill.

Near there, started near Natural Bridge on 209, 1661, came out 209A/406. Went past Crackerjack Mine Road, but didn't run it.
Back in town.
Just another day at the CSC office.
Some BS at Baja gas station, once in Payson we couldn't find the trail as usual, once we were on it, drove several spurs that became somewhat questionable (my GPS track looks like some kind of root system), and after the
cut a tire down, Juan lost confidence and left us to our own devices, and then the promised graded dirt road was an ATV trail that got us clobbered by brush big time. Crossed the East Verde at the Matzazal wilderness boundary, and put air back in the tires on the outskirts of Payson at dusk. Some Mexican food, great day, and great company, as always
.
You missed out big time
Does sound like a typical CSC run - BS, lost, wrong trail info, racing the light, and a great time - sorry I missed out. At least my rig is in the shop so I have an excuse...
new tire ordered - at first they mumbled something about looking at the damaged tire, but when I mentioned "sidecut", they ordered the new one right away
I think it helped that I got the certificates ;p
Discount Tire will have it in a week

Is that the Discount Tire in FH? They have always been pretty stand up. Even when they saw my wheel spacers on the front
But they've seen a few FJ40s. So no worries.
yup, the FH store - I like to go local when possible, and I have always been treated well in FH
