[VX KAT]

ARGH!!! When I changed the meet date from 2/5 to 2/6...it wiped out all the peeps signed up as yes or no, etc...
You can tell this is the first time I've used the Meet thread tool....:SO SORRY....goof:

PLEASE SIGN UP AGAIN ......

Thanks.

Ref PM, trail 1 or trail 2 sounds good. I have not been down any of those roads but I have been to crown king. I cant imagine that burger/bar has changed much.

Sue...did you realize that the 6th is superbowl Sunday? A lot of people will be watching the Steelers collect another ring!

Ooops.....no...didn't realize that....

Should we move it to Saturday 2/5/11?

What's the gang say??

Sue, I think Sat would be better. Won't loose the FB peeps to the game. Plus it gives people that extra day to get home if needed (come on all yo Cal VXers) or just unwind before the workweek starts up. But do what works for the masses!

[VX KAT]

Still need to decide if it's Saturday 2/5 or Sunday 2/6 (SuperBowl Sunday).....
opinions....

[VX KAT]

Bump!!

[Triathlete]

Come on people...make up my mind!

I can't make it on the 5th. I was also thinking of something a bit more challenging than fire roads, but I guess it's OK. If everyone wants to watch the big game on Sunday, maybe we can reschedule for later in the month. Or go without me, it isn't the first time.
Billy, do you have any plans in PHX any time soon? Maybe we can plan a second, more adventurous outing later in February.

[Triathlete]

No Phoenix plans other than races....but I do plan on doing Charleau Gap before the heat of summer hits. That is only a bit over an hour east of Phoenix. I will start a post soon with info when I figure out when I can squeeze it in. I have a few races and two training camps to attend in the next 3 months.
Sue, we could always keep it on the 6th but just do a brunch/lunch get together then everyone could be home by game time....or????

[VX KAT]

BECAUSE OF THE SUPERBOWL SUNDAY 2/6 - I think Billy has a good idea..let's just a do a brunch/lunch kinda thing on 2/6, & peeps can get home for game time.

ROCK SPRINGS CAFE: MEET AT 11AM SUNDAY 2/6
35769 South Old Black Canyon Highway (EXIT 242 - A little South of Black Canyon City)
Rock Springs, Arizona 85324

They take reservations too, so we won't have to wait.


Then, IF some still want to do an easy trail...we could find some shorter, easy one nearby.

***** WE'LL BE BRINGING OUR 2 FRIENDLY DOGS *****

[BOARZHEAD]

I'm There regardless of days...

[mhill]

Brunch is good, I was willing to miss the game cuz that is really the only good day I could make it. Still would like to hit some trails when we can work it out!

[VX KAT]

Ruled out trail idea #2 on Table Mesa Rd....reconnaissance today reveals too difficult at a rocky water crossing (New River)about 2 miles into the trial. Heavy storms have really roughed up the river rocks and created deep rocky pockets. Stock VXs would have problems on real rocky area (for those that have been to Moab....it's just like Rubble Trouble on Hell's Revenge). It goes from this real easy dirt road (where my car can be seen) to all these boulders!

In the first pic, it looks like they've tried to make a bypass off to the right, but either path is rough, real rough for stock.

But we still could go on the real easy 2 mile portion, gorgeous area, heavy thicket of Saguaros, awesome group VX photo ops! Bring a lawn chair, we could hang out and chat for a while, play with our dogs, etc...
