Saturday July 15th - Arizona Adventure!?

[Brian McVickers]

Anyone in the Phoenix are have any OHV adventures planned for this weekend, Saturday?

Or would you be interested in one?

I have family coming into town and I'm thinkng of taking a couple of them out of the trail for a day or 1/2 a day, maybe even an evening if the temps are out of control!

Perhaps up on top of the Rim where its cooler, Sedona maybe? Someplace with great scenery and some nice challenges on the trail.
It might just turn out to be Broken Arrow for the morning along with some other short trails in the area.

I'll try to solidify some plans, let me know if anyone is interested.

I'm game. For some reason I think I have something to do on Saturday, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. So if I can't remember what it is between now and then, count me in.

I'm cool with Sedona... I was supposed to go up there for some MTB this last Sunday, but was out too late on a Saturday night wheeling trip (didn't get home till 3:30am).

Brian, sounds like it could be fun. Did you check with the Forest Service to see if the forest is open again? I know it was closed not too long ago. Also, Greasy Spoon is a fun little run also, but not quite lik BA. If the Forest is closed still then that area is a no go. I might be up for this, but I also told a friend that I would help him move. I am not sure if it is on Satruday or Sunday, I will let you know.

 

[datrupr]

OK, I stand corrected, I just read Mark's post on the "Overland" thread, and the forest is open. I would reccomend Greasy Spoon as it will not be as busy, congested with Pink Jeeps, and you don't have to pay to park and have lunch. If you set out in the morning you could get both trails in. That would be fun.

 

[Brian McVickers]

Great guys!
Ok so my guests are trying to fly stand-by on Thursday but if they do not make it then they have paid tickets for Satruday. If they fly in Thursday or Friday then it's probably on! But if they fly in Saturday then we won't go...

I'll know more on Thursday

 

[datrupr]

Cool Brian. Hey, where are they flying in from, and what airline? They should not have too many problems flying into PHX this time of year, but you never know. What about Sunday? Keep us posted.

 

[Brian McVickers]

My sister is flying in from Chicago on a purchased ticket that is confirmed for Thursday. My parents, also flying in from Chicago, are flying standby on United since my Step-Father is a retired captain. If they can't get a flight standby they have purchased tickets for Saturday. From what i've heard it is getting more and more difficult for employees and retired employees to fly standby on some routes.

 

[Brian McVickers]

Oh, Sunday may be good but it would be crack of the morning and probably stay close, like Saguaro Lake maybe? We are celebrating Charlies 1year birthday party that afternoon and it would be bad form for her Dad to miss it!

I would much rather go Saturday but we shall see.

 

[articulate]

My ear is to the track....I'm interested. I'll see how this develops. I'd love to join.

 

[datrupr]

Cool Brian, keep us posted. And yeah, you don't want to miss your little girls's first birthday.

I might be interested as well. Haven't had a day off in two months but this weekend is looking pretty good. Could possibly have a couple of friends that would be interested as well (Stock Rubicon/Modified Scrambler/Modified YJ). Greasy Spoon, Soldiers Pass and Oak Creek Homestead (Cliffhanger) are all great trails that wouldn't be bad additions to Broken Arrow. I really enjoy VanDeren Cabin but it's a really short trail with a bit of a drive to the trail head.

 

[seth_js]

So any word yet? I got like 87 different things I wanna do this weekend. THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY!

 

[Brian McVickers]

The stand by passengers did not make it in today but are 99% on making it tomorrow. It's looking like we have 3 or 4 vehicles interested other than myself so although I initiated this I say you all go for it even If I can't!

I will know definite tomorrow, sorry for the delay

 

[datrupr]

Well, my friend is not going to move this weekend, so I am probably still up. I'll know for by tomorrow also.

 

[flyingwil]

I am in on SAT... Work is crazy, so if one of you could give me a call in the Evenings it would be great, if it is still on!
