XROCK Member Registered: 16/11/00 Posts: 2677 Loc: Prescott, Az	I'm going to be taking the rig out for some exploring on the east side of Table Mesa. I've done this trail before and it's pretty fun and has great views. Plus, I can almost guarantee that none of you have been on it before. Anyone want to join? let me know and I'll set a time to meet at the Carefree Chevron. _________________________ Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

XROCK Member Registered: 16/11/00 Posts: 2677 Loc: Prescott, Az	Nothing too early. Maybe meet at 9:30 and head up. It's probably 3-4 hours of fun but if someone needed to leave earlier it wouldn't be a problem to go back the way you came. _________________________ Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

Anonymous Unregistered	I should be there... But Like Dbax mentioned I have to run it by the wife first to see if she has anything planned for me to do that cant be put off Again until another time Well on a positive note, although I didnt make the trail run, I did accomplish the tasks I needed to do and the wife is happy. So next time we do a trail LOL count me in.

Anonymous Unregistered	Just a couple more... Edit to add- What a great find! Thanks XROCK. This is a great trail (maybe a 3(of 10) with 2 or 3 5 or 6 rated obstacles. Short on technical stuff, but long on the scenic end. Definitely would recommend as a future club Xcursion.

XROCK Member Registered: 16/11/00 Posts: 2677 Loc: Prescott, Az	Yes- Very fun! It seems like you're in high country and it's right off 17. AZ version of the wedge: The pictures don't do it justice because back just a bit there is a big dropoff. The Cruiser cowboy: Nice meeting you Mike - Always good to see you Dan! _________________________ Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

johnnyx J Member Registered: 18/08/00 Posts: 4659 Loc: Scottsdale, AZ	Thanks Dan... Fortunately, or unfortunately...the Rover is GONE. The guy picked it up on Wednesday... I'm gonna see if I can score a super cheap 4x4...don't really care what it might end up being - just something I can work on and not care about how it looks. _________________________ Cheers!, -John

NOSUP4U Member Registered: 08/08/02 Posts: 858 Loc: Phoenix, AZ	I could have the name wrong, but its a 6 wheel drive vehicle, that is 'hinged' in the middle. (It can both turn and twist in the middle). I thought it was called an Omigog, but of course can't find reference to it anywhere. I'll dig around if nobody here knows what I'm talking about. Its pretty sweet. Maybe its called a gatagoat or something like that? I always get them confused... Anyway, 6 wheels, can drive over anything. Looks like the mars rover. _________________________ Thanks! Mark (NOSUP4U) "Anything worth doing, is worth over doing."

johnnyx J Member Registered: 18/08/00 Posts: 4659 Loc: Scottsdale, AZ	Heh. "Unimog" or "Ohmygod" maybe? I recall seeing a couple off hwy 17 somewhere north of here, and north of the Sedona area. Of course that was after the Grand Canyon run so my brain was a mess at the time - I don't know where I was. A Unimog would rock, but they fetch some $$. Jeep, Scout, something like that. I see enough "beaters" while driving around for work that I may just knock on doors if I see something I like - on jackstands - in the yard. _________________________ Cheers!, -John

I'll find it and post... _________________________ Thanks! Mark (NOSUP4U) "Anything worth doing, is worth over doing."

Quote: Swimming Designed to swim INLAND waters (not sea/ocean) Conditions: The key is FOUR (4): no WAVES over four inches and no swimming in streams, cross flowing (90 degrees) that are over four miles per hour (crossing streams more than 30 inches deep is swimming - you may FORGE stream speeds at higher rates). While swimming never try to make sharp turns -- the Gama Goat was designed to go from point A to point B with no pleasure boating or fishing trips! So, when you do it, just cross and don't make pit stops. Warning: make Sure Hull Plugs Are Properly Installed. 30" Deep, Ha. Edit to add- Get me one in Yellow and I'll consider it GOING UP ?

Here are my contributions Here are two movies if you're interested: DBAZ Sliding Down... DBAZ Puddle Romping ... Conundrum, still muddy because I've been back twice since CK run and I must now wash the Truck. DBAZ, on the trail you gave me shit about the correct line to take on the wedge and it was your truck that was in the rut. An apology is in order:D _________________________ Life is the Journey, not the Destination
