** SEPTEMBER 28/29 MONTHLY RUN ** Bottom of Salt River Canyon (2 Viewers)

Is there a map or trail description for this run? Looking at my Tonto National Forest Map the route is not obvious. I like to be able to navigate independently if needed.

 

[Nifski]

Where are you planning to camp? Is the trail a dead end or can you head out to the Young road and out that way?

Looking forward to it!

This sounds like a very cool run that I've never done. Count me in for the run but not the camping.

So, I need two days of passes for this run? Friday and Saturday (not camping).

Phil mentions above that the pass is good for 2 days...

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Just checked the on-site paper permit I have and there is nothing about start and end time.

I will call WMAT tomorrow and get a ruling.

 

[Cee Fish]

How many HAM's will be attending this run besides Puulboy and myself?







For those interested, you are allowed to carry in your vehicle (not on your person) as long as you have a current AZ CCW permit.
I verified with the WM Police Department this morning.

The administrative authority for the area was at camp today and I was ask to call back tomorrow and someone SHOULD be available to talk to. No one else in the building to answer any questions. And I thought our government agencies were lazy and unorganized.

Update or are they still on holiday?

Maybe only one monkey can fly. He's the guy to contact.

I do remember the San Carlos permits did expire at midnight.

Finally was able to talk with Sherman who is in charge of the WMAT Special Permits for Salt River Canyon.

Sherman said no problem just enter the date we will be traveling. Also I have a couple extra blank permits where up to 5 other people can be added if we get to the start and there is no other permits.




Sign me up for the run and camping!
