Arizona Friday 1-27-23 Wickenburg "Mountains"

[Farmergreg]

Meet up at Wickenburg McDonald's @8am Friday for a loop toward the Monte Cristo mine, Bradshaw's Grave, Copperopolis, reconnecting with Buckhorn & Castle Hot Springs road exiting by Lake Pleasant.

@RINC and I did part of this route 2 years ago and had a blast. Wasn't overly difficult...however with the way your rains out here rearrange the rocks anything is possible!

Hell Yeah. Always room for out of towners.

 

[PurpleTJAZ]

Sorry guys, I am back to work this week.
Let me know when you’re doing a Saturday or Sunday run.

 

[UglyDuck]

I might be in. What’s the estimated time frame?

 

[DaveC]

Working, so no go here.

 

[Farmergreg]

Working, so no go here.

Interpret as: I burned all my vacation time hunting!

 

[Farmergreg]

I'd allow 8 hours on the trail.

 

[UglyDuck]

I'd allow 8 hours on the trail.

So what would a minimum equipment list look like. Here’s what I have. I could possibly put more together
Food/water
Snatch strap
Tow rope
Soft and hard shackles
Mini shovel
Portable compressor
Winch

Don’t really have much of a trail kit assembled yet.

I've got that and a few tools, tire plugs, colby valve stems.

We'll need the rope to get @RINC home

This year only beer, ice cream and popcorn. But I have had good luck selling several times.

I ain't going now. You done gone and jinxed it.

 

[TominAZ]

I will join one of these rides soon. I have every other Friday off, but not this one.

 

[Jamison C]

Yeah we got to quit these Friday runs for us working folk lol. I can do Saturdays and the occasional Sunday.

The easiest solution for that is to post up a Saturday run and invite us all! I know @RINC and @Farmergreg have unique schedules but will also show on a weekend. Fridays are cool if you can because there is whole lot less trail traffic. I for one would not mind doing a Sedona or Smiley rock run as soon as the snow melts a little. I already had my annual snow encounter.
