Sorry about the radio silence of late team, but the Tucson ROTM is still planned for the weekend of the 17th of March.
Here's what I'm thinking - a run down in to the Chiricahua's, probably more of a casual weekend tour than a hardcore 4WD adventure, but you never know - there are lots of forest roads to explore.
From Tucson we'd head to Portal, AZ, drive the Cave Creek Road (FR42), explore some forest trails and hopefully be able to make our way to the western side of the mountains & the West Turkey Creek campground (or anywhere else that takes our fancy). On Sunday it'd be back to Tucson via Cochise (short way) or Douglas/Bisbee/Sonoita depending on time constraints.
Expect to do a few miles on the asphalt, like I said this will probably be more of a touring trip, so it may not be suitable for the older vehicles (unless you like that sort of thing...). I've never been down this way so it's all new to me - we'll just see how we go.
Any interest?
Attendees:
1. D_Web
2. ollanik (maybe Sunday)
3. Cruddz
4. Saddletramp
5. Otter (maybe)
6. Garrissey (maybe)
7.
8.
9.
10.
FYI - @Wilma83, @ARJMN, @Chrismanjs, @cruzer971
Meet at the QuickTrip on Grant at 9am, we'll be monitoring the usual 146.460 Mhz and cell phones should work for much of the drive down to Portal.
Weather is looking OK with a potentially cool Saturday evening/Sunday morning. No pot luck planned but feel free to bring some snacks to share.
