Scheduled Trail Runs...

Hey AZ! Been an avid wheeler for years. Just got into the Tacoma world and want to hit the trails.

Any trail runs set for this weekend 12/26/20 maybe?

 

Where you located?...I am in Tucson

 

I’m in Surprise. Quite a ways from Tucson!

 

I'm on stock summer tires but tomorrow/throughout the week I'd be down to go. I have a route marked on gaia that is China Dam/Tule creek that I want to try sometime.

That Link is where I found info.

This is what I added after the tule creek fort/homestead(last marker) And it would be very easy to throw in some additional stuff before the first marker depending on starting point. Site says to take castle hot springs road but theres a ton of stuff that branches off that for exploring.

 

I’m full stock too! Been up castle hot springs many times with my Ram CTD. Nice area!

I’m game to explore tomorrow if you’re interested!

 

Have any routes/areas you had in mind? I'm good for just about anything within an hour of phoenix area that's not too crazy for stock trucks.

 

I’m game for just about anything for us stockers!

castle Hot Springs sounds good... unless there’s something else that may be more fun. Let me know!

 

That's a new area for me so sounds good. Where do you want to meet and what time?

 

Waiting to hear back from my son. Lets plan a 9am meet up at the Fry’s fuel station on Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley. Let me know if that works.

I’ll PM my number to ya!

 

Fry's Fuel Center
25371 N Lake Pleasant Pkwy, Peoria, AZ 85383
(623) 235-2350

That works for me.

Could easily link these two routes together.

 

I too am in Surprise. Visiting Tucson this weekend but if you ever want to explore out by Wickenburg or Lake Pleasant let me know. If you see a voodoo blue longbed at fry's feel free to say hi!

 

Awesome! Will do!

 

Had a helluva great time today with @cartter469 and Evan! Great people, great views and great wheeling!

BTW, always pay attention to the signs and where you are. If you don’t, you can rest assured that the Ranger is! Haha!

thx guys for a great Sunday!

 

Camped New Year's Eve at 31.734349,-110.749864. Stock friendly forest routes with some challenges to keep it interesting.
Cold but enjoyable. I arrived early afternoon on New Year's Eve. If you're looking for solitude and want to unplug from the world, this is the spot. No cell service, but I could hit the Mt. Lemmon Ham radio repeater. So I had a radio operator relay a message that I had made it to camp safely. I only saw two vehicles the rest of the day. Temps were cold as soon as the sun dropped below the hillside. A roaring fire and several adult beverages later and my New Year's celebration was over, off to bed. Awoke to 24deg. temps, started a fire, made coffee and breakfast. My plans were to only spend the night and head off back home on New Year's day. Stopped by the 'Gin' house on the way out. This was my inaugural Arizona camping trip, since arriving here on Oct. 3. Very nice spot..

 

This Saturday/Sunday would anyone like to go hit some dirt? I would like to go to bulldog canyon from Bush highway at some point in the near future. (already have that permit) But I am open to any suggestions. I am still stock on some pretty bad tires so nothing super serious

 

Any wheeling today?

 

@Shig I'm in the Verde Valley. Anytime you plan to head this way, let me know. There are a lot of cool trails up here.

 

@Beancooker
Will do! I'm currently grounded right now. Apparently I've been spending more time with my truck than with my wife and chores around the house. This weekend is dedicated to a quick bedroom painting and yard work... and some required cuddling. Then I earn points to go stake out some hunting spots as I put in for Elk and Pronghorn... wishful thinking that I get drawn!
