JeepAndrew's AZ Trail Runs/Campouts

Andrew - I got a tentative call schedule today and I should be able to do a pre run on the weekends of Oct. 8th, 15th or 22nd. If any of those work for you then I'm in bro. And it also looks like I'm good for the weekend of the camp out so I'm in there too, unless things change again.

The Turkey Creek referred to in this thread is in Graham County. It's a very easy route going in from Thatcher and stock height trucks should have no problem making it through. Height with your teardrop shouldn't be much of a problem, as some of the other attendee's vehicles are much taller and make it through with rooftop tents, roof racks etc just fine.

 

I've been watching the summer storms via radar for Rug Road and there really hasn't been any heavy or prolonged rain up there. I think that a 4wd route prerun isn't necessary as of right now. The mid-oct trip I mentioned is partly to check on 2wd route and Turkey Creek campsite/road conditions (plus an impromptu trip to the ghosttown of Aravaipa). You should tag along for that!

 

If you plan it on one of those three weekends then I'm in brother

 

It'll be the weekend of the 16th in Oct.

 

I'm in like Flynn bro. What's the plan? Drive in on saturday, ghost town the hell out of it and camp in t creek?

 

Heads up guys- there's an airflow snorkel group buy going on right now. $500 retail. Op says it will be $325 max. Like a sore dick... can't beat it!

 

I'm thinking of departing late afternoon on Friday, leaving Tucson around 4.

 

I might be able to swing that since it will take you 45ish minutes to get to Houghton and I-10 which is where I'd plan on meeting up with you. So camp Friday, explore Saturday and go home? Or stay sat night too and home on Sunday?

 

Can I be added to the 2wd Tucson attendees list?

 

Two nighter!

 

You have a beautiful mind my friend!

What the hell are you doing awake at 1:30 am?!

 

I have an infant bro. Sleep schedule's fuct. I usually crash around 8-9, wake up in the middle of the night for a couple hours, then back to bed for a few more hours. Shit sucks man.

 

I can set up camp anywhere. As we get closer, I'll hit you up for some coords.

 

Well as of yesterday I've swung over from socal an have become a az resident to say the least an will be leaching onto this thread an hope to go wheeling soon

A lot different out here than back home forsure

 

Right, no soy drinking Hillary supporting Prius drivers fucking up the freeways here.

 

Yea, sad to say there were too many for my liking back home..
