I am now a maybe

We might also have another driver from the UK, Martin with Overland Live!

Cool! If he'd like, he can get some PW seat time too.

Can a fellow just show up?

I am not sure if Mo and I can make it or not but we would like to do it. Would it be in poor taste to just show up at the Safeway on the morning of the ride. I would have to make my choice while considering getting the time off and on the level of snow that is accumulated by this Saturday.

I would have to come out on the Friday night before. Could you recommend a decent motel that would allow dogs. I just have to bring the Corgis, that way if I do get stuck, I can hook them up and make the Tacoma a dog sled.

The snow is melting fast - I don't think it will be an issue at all.

There are several hotels near the meeting point, but since I don't use any of them, I can't recommend any of them.

Judging from the exterior, pretty much any of them are OK. All are geared towards our summer tourists. Here's a quick search:

Edit: Yes you can just show up if you desire ;^)

Not going to make it.

It doesn't look like work is going to ease up enough for me to get away. You folks have a good time and take lots of photos. I swear that I will get out there for a run sooner or later. Catsup and Muffin (my Tacoma and AT trailer) keep staring at me each morning as I pedal off to work once again.

I am going to be there with most likely the J8 and Habitat. We will have a special guest from the UK, Martin Solms from Overland Live!

See everyone out there

Where have I been? I just found this thread today. Is there room for another rig?

 

[crawler#976]

Sure is! Come on up!

Looks like I am in with the family, I was working on a disabled participant but that didn't pan out and the family is willing to join in so it works out perfect.
More than likely won't be able to stay for dinner in CK but it will be great to see everyone.

Any issues Mark with bringing the Sportsmobile? It is on 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers, front locker, rear LSD and very nice Rock Slide Enginneering Sliders with a Power Step.
My only issue is 10ft tall thing

My 12yr old Boy Scout son will be there looking forward to hearing some history!

 

[crawler#976]

Lance, I think you will be fine height wise. As I recall, there are no tree issues. This used to be a county road, but it hasn't had any maintinance in yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears. It will be an adventure for us for sure. Once we get out of the creek bottom, the road is a good one.

 

[F5driver]

Is this the intersection of 89 and Wagoner Road where we will meet? I'm thinking it will be a shorter drive than going to Prescott first. My jeep will be loaded with 4 boys ages 12-9.

 

[crawler#976]

That's it!

Just an idea right now but, will a Carli suspended Cummins 2500 QCSB truck make it ok. Rolling 35's no real skid plates. no lockers.
