Roadtrip to AZ..

[tdavis]

Then the 28th it will be.

 

[Kevlar7R]

if we go, we will probably stay in the saloon for the night. It's a great place to party the night away, and there are rooms for rent. Love crown king!

 

[tdavis]

Ok, what time are we meeting?

I'm so antsy.. I have not been on a trail for several years.

 

[Maniak]

Me too.. I already filled the tank on the X

Are we going to meet at Ricks or just head over to the trailhead?

Crown King got some good snow this past weekend. Can see it on the mountains from my house.

Meeting at the end of the paved road would probably be best logistically. There used to be an unpaved parking area before the T at the end of the paved road.

 

[Maniak]

Rick,
Are you thinking here
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.9...1,-110.883805&sspn=0.439475,0.617294&t=h&z=16

Or

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.9....323299&sspn=0.001683,0.002411&t=h&gl=us&z=19

I "think" the pavement ends closer to that 1st T (first link)

~Mark

 

[Rick]

The T on the first map.

 

[Kevlar7R]

I vote meet at pavement end. A little easier to find for people who haven't been there before.

So, who all is coming?
I see me,
Travis
Rick
Maniak

Anyone else? Also, we're (as in my gf and i) going to stay in crown king, so we won't be coming back down the hill with you that night.

 

[Kevlar7R]

by the way, you guys on cb's? Or handheld frs radios?

 

[Maniak]

I have a CB and Rick uses something that talks to CBs.

[Stic-o]

Just passed Tom on the other side of the freeway by my place.

 

[Rick]

Temps for Friday in Crown King:

Hi: 41°
Mostly sunny with a 10 percent chance of snow showers. Highs around 40.

Lo: 19°
Partly cloudy. Lows around 23. Highs 40 to 46.

 

[Rick]

What time are we meeting? Since Mark is driving the farthest, he should probably set the time.


Steve, I saw on Facebook that Tom stayed at Truck Haven last night

Really wish I could have gone this trip. Hopefully things work out with my new job and can start going to things like this more

 

[Kevlar7R]

lets say 9 am?

 

[Maniak]

I am fine with a 9:00 A.M. meetup.

I'm trying to find a place to stay the night Thursday so I don't have to drive the 3+ hours in the morning even before getting to go wheeling. I'll already have a 3+ hour drive back after wheeling which will make for a very very long day.

[Rick]

Ughh... Been working on the Pumpkin getting it ready for the trip and found out there was no heat at all. My heater core was completely clogged solid. Pulled it out, and blasted some air through it to clear the obstruction. Flushed it many, many times, blowing it out repeatedly, and now it seems to be working ok

Phew!!! It's going to be cold up there, and no heat didn't sound like fun at all!!

 

[Kevlar7R]

Another 4x4 group im in is doing the table mesa trail the next morning, so we're going to stay overnight in crown king, then join their trail ride the next morning. Anyone else interested in joining that?

 

[Rick]

I would like to join you, but it won't work for us.

 

[Rick]

Just talked to Tdavis. Hate to do this, but we are not going to run up to Crown King because neither of us are prepared for how cold it's going to be.

Mark, I failed the redemption run

We plan on running some easy trails around Wickenburg and check out some old mines.
