October Run - Parker Area

I’m interested in this trip. Is it going to be wheeling and dispersed camping or wheel then go to the bar/condo?

 

Let roll homie!!!

Our normal thing is exploring and then dispersed glamping. But Craig is planning this one so I won't speak for him

 

BTW there is certainly camping opportunities on this trip, however I will be staying at my condo at night. I have a place out there i have friends w condos as well and can talk to them about staying in their place i will just need advanced notice and total number of people who want beds and showers etc. That way i can coordinate that stuff.

 

It depends on the trails we decide to do - If we are close enough you can stay in Parker I guess. Haven't had a chance to look at trails yet.

 

We may not be near your condos. We haven't planned routes yet

 

Im aware, i have a local who is in a offroad club sending me tracks and routes already pre-built to include the 425 race course. Also throwing it out, but i have my pontoon boat, if we want to do some evening boating and chilling that is an option.

 

It's been awhile since I did a trip like this. Def interested! Need to make sure the dates work

 

I’ll just come equipped to camp. But I’d rather not exclude the condo/boat option, so I’ll pitch in if needed regardless of use.

 

Once I have time to look at trails and can built a basic route we will know where we will be. I just put Parker as the general area so people knew about how far the drive would be. Leaning more to explore in Arizona, but there may not be much there worth spending the time on.

 

Supposedly there’s a ton of cool stuff on the AZ side. Mines and a lake and some canyons and shit. And the Arizona Peace Trail is nearby also.

 

MOAR info please

 

Lemme dig into the dusty recesses of my brain and pull out some things....

 

Just have Lisa dig into your recesses

 

i have some gpx files

im gonna email you two

@osidepunker @KevinK

 

haha Kevin isn't even going and they will just get lost is his network of research shit.

 

I told her you fuckers would never forget... She said, 'oh everyone's drunk and they don't believe me anyway.'
Pretty sure that was our very first campfire together - at least after the first T2S.

I drew it up for you guys already.

 

slightly north of the bottom X looks very familiar

 

looks like what i sent you

 

hmm thats the new cockography layer on gaia?

 

bwehahahahaha

 

daaaaaaaaaaaamnit! I can't make this (unless @KevinK adopts me so I can quit my job and still buy lots of truck parts). I'll be in Utah the week after, though

 

Here is a Gaia Map that has the trails overlay on it. You can see we will be in and all around the parker area.

 

BTW some of these trails are jeep style, some are open desert and the mix of all.

 

We can’t do Jeep trails motherfucker.

Did you not learn anything thing from that other thread?

 

@KevinK Where there's alcohol, there's a way.

 

Definitely interested.

 

Hey everyone - I am going to have to bail on this trip - Tundra needs some major repairs to be trail ready and doesn't look like they will be completed anytime soon. If anybody wants to take the lead and keep the trip going that is fine - I just can't commit to going at the moment. I was hoping to have already started but my vehicle situation turned into a shit show. My sons truck is down right now and he is driving my other truck so I can't start on mine until his is fixed and I get something else to drive. I won't know until i start pulling his motor apart to see if its an easy fix or if I have to swap a new motor before I can even start on mine.

 

I guess im going, and will be there at my condo, @osidepunker doesnt want to sleep in a condo... so if anyone wants to camp feel free, I will meet up with you all each day. I have all the trail maps, everything is fairly central to parker, hence me staying at my condo. So need a head count and figure out the details. Ill get with alex when he gets back from camping this weekend

@n2deep i have to clearly finish my rear before then too. hopefully getting most done this weekend
