Upcoming Trips - Elvis to Bad Medicine night run, July 27th

Or atleast get a few options and dates out to start some voting.

 

This trail up in Payson is super fun. I only had time for about half of it then exited on the FS road just to lay my eyes on the final obstacle (below). Overall it ranges from pretty challenging to stupid hard depending on your line, but having the FS road to bail out on or have stock rigs tag along on is nice. @Supr4Lo can put his tire on The Filter.

Not really an all day thing unless you want to play and crawl. I’m not familiar with the camping around there but am sure there is plenty.

This peaked my interest. Anyone have more info on this trail?

 

No I didnt even know it was there. I could run down and take a look at it one saturday.

 

This is what I used

 

Ah, I have my book in the truck. I'll look it up. Thanks

Depending if I'm free whatever day you go I could meet you for exploration and planning

 

I know of camping in the area aswell. And sounds good I will let you know.

 

Here is a pretty fun video to give y’all the flavor of it. They are doing all the ridiculous optional stuff of course. Aside from some ledges and rock gardens you should be able to reasonably get around.

From what I've seen it's moderate with bypasses or optional hard lines. It's below the rim off of control road. Plenty of camping around and another spot called diamond point near by you can go digging for fossils and gem rocks

 

Yeah I will definitely wont be doing the filter. I dont have enough power to drag my ass up over that.

 

I honestly don't know how you make it up the hill to get home from the valley lol.

Anyways the book says that's more of a buggy obstacle.

 

Its allot of right lane sitting and using momentum. People get pissed when I am going slow then passing them constantly playing leap frog.

 

Absolutely a buggy obstacle! There is a slightly easier way up it off to the side, but even the rowdiest of us are probably still pulling line. I’ll kiss it with my bumper for the photo op, then tuck tail back to the bypass

 

My splash was bigger @Supr4Lo @Rudimentality
when in doubt throttle Out! What a great effing trip with you All
Sorry @time623 mixed up ppl

 

Im in! We camped the Kellner camp spot for our Thanksgiving feast this past year. Not much for truck camping on that site.. time to research!

 

I did Pratt trail in a side by side and kinda tough. “The wall” obstacle probably not doable in a Tacoma.

shameless plug from the video I took for our run. Features “the wall” well

The line up the last obstacle is on the left and definitely require a winch. When I was there it was severely undercut.

 

Looking to do the Elvis trail near Florence on April 6th. Will most likely just be a day trip,but might possibly camp the night before. Will be updating the first post with info.

 

Looks like a fun one! As long as my school schedule doesn’t change I should be in. I ought to know by next week.

 

So you're ready to put that new skid plate to use eh?
