Going on Saturday, the 8th, then heading over to phx for the christmas party
I got about 4 to 5 rigs going. Anyone else want to join in.
I got Ruskie, and then few friends from school coming along.
Yasha, you will be fine in your stock rig. This trail will seem like a parking lot compared to chiva. The challenging part with the trail is route finding. It is marked poorly in a few places, and the signs do not agree with the Santa Rita backcountry maps. If you have a Well's book I would recommend sticking with those directions. Either way, it's almost impossible to get lost as it's not too remote, but do prepare yourself to be on at least one detour (plenty of gas, food and water). You will most likely not have any problems, but I have done the trail about a dozen times and seem to complete it differently each time. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
