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.

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.

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 [Laughing] [ThumbsUp]
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.

It's not that hard. Most of it is 2wd friendly. Just scenic and interesting.

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. [ThumbsUp]

Nice pics Dan. [ThumbsUp] Looks like a sweet trail.

You think a "mall-crawler" could do that trail w/o too much trouble? smile

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!

Not if you mean the Armada..Too big for some shelfs and there are plenty of desert pinstriping parts you couldn't avoid eek . Now, if it's the Land Rover, you'd be just fine [ThumbsUp]

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. laugh

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.

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. smile

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. smile
