Charouleau Gap run with camping

Edit#1: weekend of the 23rd of sept. is locked in. meet up will be here 15240 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ 85739 at the Valero. Its roughly 10 mins to the trail head from here and we will air down there. I'd like to shoot for an early start time but still give the Phoenix peeps plenty of time to get there. Hoping for an 8:00 departure time.
Edit #2: this will be a family fun time. Kids, wives etc... all are welcome! Shenanigans can be organized separately! And I enjoy shenanigans so there's a good chance some of us might go off and do said shenanigans.





So now that the weather is starting to turn I'd like to throw together a run through Charalous Gap with optional camping on the back side of Mt. Lemon. Open to dates, times, etc. If your interested post up with available dates and we'll try to make this accommodating to as many as possible. Here's a run down from experience-az. It's not an easy trail. I plan on camping about 3/4 the way up the backside of mt. Lemmon after the run is done. If you don't want to camp you can head back to Phoenix from Oracle or back to Tucson via Oracle or down the front side of the mountain. Let's hear some suggestions....

Are you talking Sept or Oct?

 

Either, I'm open to dates. I know rug road will be coming up soon as well as Moab so let me know what works and I'll try to put something together to accommodate as many as possible @stumbles

 

Also, I'm not deterred to making it a November run if that works better for everyone. My camp spot is good for 6 to 8 trucks. Anymore and I can scope another location.

 

In Sept I can do the weekend of 23rd and Oct I can do the weekend of the 7th.

 

Noted.

 

Weekend of the 23rd is the first choice right now. Let me know what you guys think.

 

I will have to play it by ear Alex. My son had his of fibula broken at football practice on 8/11 he had surgery on the 14th and has had complications with severe nerve damage. He is going to get a nerve block on Thursday to stop the hyper active nerve in the leg (RSD). Nothing would make happier than for him to be recovered and have him come out and play in the dirt. ..

 

Maybe for wheeling, but i'll skip the camping. The length of charouleau is always unpleasant.

 

Blondie intern in the link, damn

 

Haven't run the full gap (due to my Peerunner) so forgive my ignorance, but when you say backside of Mt. Lemmon do you mean heading up the control road afterwards?

 

Thanks for the I would have never clicked on the link otherwise.

 

Exactly

 

Weekend of the 23rd works for me and I really want to get in on one of these.

 

I could link up with y'all for the control road/camping/shenanigans on either the 23rd or 7th, preferably the 7th if it comes down to it

 

No shit!

And @05tacomabro I might be in for this! Lift kit is on order for the '15 but I'll probably bring the YJ. Is @mbmack1 aware of potential shenanigans?

 

Thanks for tagging him, I know he's busy with the new baby, what did you go with for your lift?

Damn man, i hope he gets better!

 

Thanks

 

I could do The Weeknd of the 23rd. . Also in for camping of course

 

Fuck yea!
