Arizona Meet & Greets

oh that sounds like fun…

 

Go show off that new bling!

 

Nobody died.

 

Did you guys make it?

 

Best gen had issues towards the top climbing a steep loose wet incline, so I made everyone turn around, if I can’t make it, no body is!

 

How far up did you guys make it? Glad nobody died, haha

 

Almost to the top. About 1/2 mile past where the two trails come together.

 

Oh yeah, you guys were pretty close. That's a bummer.
Pretty tight in the Tundra?

 

Really wasn’t bad. Just needed a locker with the slick conditions. Not willing to play on the edge.

 

Yeah we were almost there!
It wasn’t to tight, hahah I definitely like the non reverse switchback trail……. But also sad we didn’t get to do it hahaha

 

Hahah I only looked over that edge once or twice at the top, that was enough for me

 

No way I was going to tell you to sling it out over the edge.

 

Hahaha I loved @Incoleherent140 comment, “I hope we make it back down ok………just walking i mean” that was definitely steep, I went from half tank of gas to over 3/4 sitting there.

 

Haha, those cliffs are steep. I scared the ol' lady once real good when I bounced close to edge. She swore she'd never do that trail again.
Then it changed to never again in a stock Jeep.

 

That's the spot that scared her! I think

 

Get some tires? And your set!!!!
My youngest handles the trails way better, hahha my oldest always watches the gas gauge and gets nervous, not sure where he got that from.

 

Tighter than the switchbacks at Montana mountain?

 

Hahahah yep!
So I’d almost considered this like a MM trail but more compressed(less than 7 miles to the top) and a little more difficult and way less traveled. It’s kinda tight for a truck, and I’m super glad we didn’t have to find a safe side trail cut out more than the one time we stopped to let traffic by.

it took us 3 hours to cover the ground we did

 

**** minimal Bs, we only stopped once for hydration^^^^^^^^

 

The last climb is the steepest of them all. And it too has another large rock/ shelf in the middle of it. But, slightly more room to go around it and without a cliff that drops 2500ft.
It was the only spot I stalled the Jeep. Cause stick shift. Luckily only slid back about 10 feet.

 

Okay - Box Canyon sunset / night run - how does Saturday look?

 

I’m 90% in. What time are we thinking about rolling out?

 

I’m open to suggestions - I was thinking meet at the trailhead around 5:15-5:30?

 

Saturday works for me.

 

@Slag_Dynamics @BiggHertz

 

If I’m back in the valley by then I am down.

 

is that like being half pregnant?

 

the turdferg is a fickle beast that is afraid of commitment….
