Ok, here is the deal. For the past couple of years, a group of guys that met over at zr2.com (yea, a S-10 site) has been putting together what is turning out to be a annual gathering. The last few years have been in Moab in the spring, but this year we put it off until November, and are moving it to Arizona (florence area). The group has been shrinking as we have been running tougher and tougher trails, and right now it looks like we will have about 10 or 11 rigs attending. Not everyone will be staying for the whole week. The fun stuff will probably start on the 3rd (that is the day the out of towners are getting in), and will likely end on the 7th, as most people will be heading home over the weekend (although if there are still people to run trails, we will be running them!).
Right now we have rigs that range from S-10's on 31's, to heavily modified rigs with 36+ inches of wheel travel. We will be running some easy trails, and some tough trails (4.0 +). Anyone is welcome to join us, and this is a family event. We encourage you to bring wives, girlfriends (please choose one or the other, don't bring BOTH), kids, dogs, etc. Yes, the women are also welcome to bring their husbands or boyfriends (again, please choose one or the other....).
Some of the trails in consideration are upper and lower ajax. Upper and lower woodpecker. Jackhandle, Martinez canyon + the martinez mine, box canyon, coke ovens, etc. Possibly hiway to hell, axle alley, etc., if we get enough people that are set up to run those. We are thinking about some night runs on the easier trails (lower ajax, lower woodpecker, box canyon, martinez canyon, coke ovens, .....) as well. We will probably split into 2 groups each day, the easy/moderate group, and the hard group.
Most of the trails will be in the Superstition Mtns. A AZ state trust land permit is required for some areas (more info on that later if there is interest).
Anyway, this event is still in the planning stages. We started pre-running trails today, and will continue to do so over the next couple of months, in a effort to pick appropriate trails for the groups.
If anyone is interested, let me know. I will pass on info as it become available.
