Billy,
What time are you guys planning on breaking camp on Sunday? I'm still planning on coming out to play on Sunday and want to know how early I need to leave PHX to get there in time. Any clue what FRS channel you will be using?

Any other VXers from Phoenix want to come with me?

The weather should be perfect for next weekend. With the rain their predicting for Tuesday, maybe the falls will be running on Sunday.

How does 8:00-8:30 sound? We will monitor channel 10. Hopefully you'll get a few more to come join the fun!

0800!!! Who gets up that early on a SUNDAY????!!!!

We'll be camped just off the main road, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. We could leave a sign or something, or maybe print a map and distribute it here? I'd be happy to do that if it would make things easier for any Sundayers.

Billy, do you remember what that turnoff said? Borego Ranch or something like that? Just past the parking lot with the restrooms.

Yep, I think that was what it was called. Probably be easiest to just put up a sign. as long as they can get to Reddington road, it easy to find! Its going to be a good one.

Forgot Bob needs his beauty sleep. But I think the fresh air will make up for the lack of sleep!

To get to reddington road...
Get off I-10 at the Grant Rd. exit.
Go east on Grant until you get to Tanque Verde Rd.
Turn left on Tanque Verde.
Follow Tanque Verde until it becomes a dirt road.
When the road becomes dirt it becomes Reddington Rd.
Follow Reddington Rd. till you see the sign!!!!

Then prepare for the FUN!

The weather looks fine...
Calling for 73 during the day, upper 40's at night.

There is a posiblity that I would come down for a day, its either this or a mtn bike ride. Sounds like Sunday would be better since others are doing the same on Sun.
From southern Phoenix area (Chandler/Gilbert) it sounds like it will take about 2.5 hrs to reach camp, it that correct?
What is the rating on the trails you are running on Sun?

[Apostle]

slight chance i may not be able to make it. work talking about a massive job that has a rush deadline. will keep you informed

Mapquest seems to think it should take about 2 1/2 hours to get to Redington Road from Scottsdale.

That would be great if you can come Chris! Don't worry, I'm bringing my tow strap, so we can pull that 2WD truck out of anything you get stuck in

Now just to convince the ladies from the City of Angels that they have to come

OK, so you were on the Box Caynon trip, I was affraid I would be remembered as the guy that fogot to lock my hubs. I actually did that trail a few weeks back (this time with my hubs locked), there are a few pics here:
Box Caynon

Mapquest seems to think it should take about 2 1/2 hours to get to Redington Road from Scottsdale.

OK if mapquest says 2.5 from Scottsdale it is probably actualy more like 2.0 hrs, and since I am 20 - 30 min closer sounds like 2.5 should be plenty of time.

Well I just remembered that I am getting my garage floor epoxied on Monday, which means I need to pull all of the stuff out of my garage before Monday moring. Might not be able to make it. I would have to pull all my tools, workbench etc. out on Friday and Sat, which means it will all be sitting on the side of my house for several days (and nights).
On the other hand, I would really hate to miss this trip, I really don't get to go wheeling much anymore.

Chris,
Trails are rated 3-3.5...can be harder with alternate lines Should not be a problem. Hope you get the garage cleared and can make it! Would like to see your Rodeo in action with those hubs locked!
