    Dec. 16 trail run ...

    Ran it by the wife, she'd rather run something a bit closer to home this weekend, but I'll keep an eye on this forum for future runs. We're gonna run a scenic route up by 4 Peaks with another group. Enjoy the run! -Spike

    Pyeatt Draw Trail (AZ) Trip report

    That was an excellent run, but even better was the group we had assembled. I'm thankful to John Shotts for giving me the opportunity to make this run and meet some new faces and rigs. That's the second time he's treated me to a new group, and both were a blast. Alvin, sorry to hear of your...

    Well Robthebrit, I need to thank you for making me watch that. I read your scathing review of the trail manners of those involved with that run, and had to see for myself. I guess we have different ideas about irresponsible off road driving. I only saw one instance of tires going around more...

    FYI- there is a most excellent camping spot right near the start of the trail. I will try to describe- right after the trail starts, a road crosses it. This road can be accessed by following the original dirt road that leads to the trailhead for another 100 yeards or so. If you follow this...

    LOL, call me whatever you have to, that trail is too good to miss. Bonus points for getting to meet a bunch of new people! -Spike (New bunch of people? New group? Meh, whatever :D)
