Hey folks... how did this (05/05) pre-run go, well I hope!
It was awesome!
ayup.
Second Prerun! Meet Saturday, 7/1 at Punkin Center Grocery Store, gas station, hardware store, and credit card scamming machine - 9am
We're going to take the other road up the rim from there and Brent has a slew of trails lined up for the weekend. Plan is to camp 3 nights and come home on the 4th.
Let's get a headcount.
+1. I'm in. MIght start on top of four peaks Friday night if I can get out early Friday.
Looking to be hot, dry, and dusty this weekend. No monsoon yet.
Are there any minimum requirements for this run yet? Unfortunately, I'm still running IFS and only have 31's w/front and rear LSD right now. I've got a CB, tow points and gear, but I know most of the trails in the Young area W/NW of Cherry Creek. It should be very dry until the monsoon starts.
The actual run will be after the monsoon. Prerunning will be done by the end of July. At that point I'll have a clear idea on the difficulty of trails. That said, AZ runs have evolved from rock crawling trails to being much more overland style to cover ground. I'm betting a reasonably equipped stocker would do just fine but we'll know for sure soon.
Join in the fun. Order a Tshirt
Hey DR -- I'd like to make it out of the day, can't do the whole weekend but is there a better day than the others to meet up with the group? I'm sure trying to be specific on a variable pre-run is hard, but if so, which day and where? Keep in mind I'm coming out of Show Low.
I got my gear last year, but it was bittersweet. No time off and missed a great overland adventure. Still looking at my AZ Run XI stuff and missing Elvis along with the river crossing. I might have to go bug Flip for some parts if he still has his dead PF.

I can't say where we'll be any time other than at the start. Brent has been working on routes and we'll cover what we can cover. He has a couple hundred miles of dirt lined up for this weekend.

He'd love to sell you his old PF...lol
Making Jambalaya this weekend for everyone. I promise to not make it hiccup inducing hot again.
I think the count is currently 6 - Andy, Jaime, Brent, myself, Steve and Rob.
Add Travis. Hes in.
Decided to skip the Jambalaya this weekend. Wanted to let everyone know so you can plan food for another night.
gotcha.
Was a good pre-run tater... Trasharoo- ordered.

Ditto.
Sooooo....next prerun in a week and a half. There's not much left to button up, and I'm not sure I'll get everything done on my truck that I need to get done.
May just turn into a nice weekend camping on the rim....and I might be taking the Dodge.
We do have to figure out an alternate route to Clint's Well on Day 3....that should be easy enough.
