Gunsite Pass, Tucson (8/26/06)

[goodtimes]

Lets do the Ajo Cafe. I generally like the greasy spoon/hole in the wall places better than the big chains. I've passed it a time or two and wondered how the food is....time to find out I guess.

How about 7:45? That will give us an hour to find a seat, eat, and make it over to the auction.

Damnit, I need to check in here more often Scott! You have something cool going on within spittin distance of my house and I'm gonna be out of town this weekend POOP!

Is there room for one more? I think I may want to tag along if thereis room. If so, Brian do you want to caravan down to the meeting spot?

Mark and Brian, lets set up a place to meet on Sat. am, somewhere in the vicinity of I-10 and Chandler? And what time? And is everyone planning on camping? Anyone opposed to me bringing the the Big Blonde Idiot?

 

[flyingwil]

I am in on a caravan down too!

 

[datrupr]

No Wil, we don't want you to caravan with us


Just kidding! :shakin:



Since you are going, I am going to have to bring some extra beer, as I still have to pay you for the tires.

I am looking for a recent trail report. Has anyone driven the trail recently?

Looks like a group from Tucson Offroad went out at the beginning of August
Here are pictures, not much of a trail condition report so the pics will have to serve as messenger. Looks like a bit water hole to cross but not sure if it was a necessary crossing or a play thing.

Aaron and Mark!
This trip just got crazy before it has even started!:rockon:

Glad you guys can make it and Aaron - Big Woohoo! on the new JOB:clapsmile. Beers are on you Mr. "I've got a paycheck":beer:

 

[Brian McVickers]

Aaron - Mark - Wil - Anyone else in PHX

Here is the plan for meeting and caravan on Saturday AM

Cool! I am available to caravan too. That would be fun!

Here is an idea:

Breakfast-
Time: 6:30 am
Cracker Barrel: 5022 E. Chandler Blvd (480) 961-9443

Group Departure-
Time: 7:30 am from the Cracker Barrel Parking Lot

7:30 means gassed up and ready to roll It takes about 2 hours to get to the trail head.

CB: Channel 4

Please post your intentions so we know to expect you.

Good post. I just signed up on their forum and posted a question on the trail conditions. Looks like the water was in a pond and not part of the main trail.

 

[jeffryscott]

sure doesn't look like they believe in treading lightly ...

 

[datrupr]

I am an active member there, and there are a lot of newbies to off roading and a lot of very built trail/crawling rig. If you look in the posts somewhere in there there is a very long posting about treading lightly. That actually came about after I saw some pictures to the contrary and made a comment about treading lightly. I do refer a lot of people from over there to this site knowing that the good ones from there that share the same interests will join up here. A few of the guys over there have commented on the Expeditions West Taco and how cool it is, and how cool Expeditions West web site is. It must give Scott a very big Warm Fuzzy feeling. And I just think........Yeah, I know that guy and he is very cool, you should send him an email and talk to him. But, I know if I said it out loud Scott would be getting inundated with emails and wouldn't have time to spend here with us.


And thanks Brian on the congrats, but shouldn't it be you guys buying me beer in a congratulatory sense?:ylsmoke:
