    Thread for brainstorming ideas for a spring overland trip. Currently thoughts are KOFA area vs the strip vs other ideas.

    I will be planning our longer yearly trip (Aug-early Oct timeframe, usually September) for the AZ strip. The North Rim area doesn't usually get ungated until the 15th of May, though there are back routes to get into that area.

    Our current discussions put us in the KOFA area. Alan @TailHook already has a bunch of POI's and routes in his Gaia to work with.

    I'll let the others chime in, but we really enjoyed the pace of our last trip, so I think we are looking to match that on future trips.

    The pace was a lot less driving day after day, with time specifically dedicated to exploration and relaxation.

    Yup. I'll take days to make it a long weekend, Thurs-Sunday. For me, so I'll head and meet Wednesday night where ever.
    I vote. Kofa area. Lots of history there, even old history in Quartzite and such.

    sorry meant to say for august-Sep time that Mike was referring to for a longer yearly trip. I’ve heard that’s good time for CO.

    Ok just posted poll. I put last two weekends in March. 4 weekends in April but excluding Easter. 2 weekends in May. I figure the second half of May likely getting too hot for KOFA. Let me know if you want a date added.

    poll will be up for 7 days
