Upper Woodpecker on Saturday January 4th

No problem Jeff. I will most likely bring tortillas, cheese and salsa in case the opportunity presents itself. Usually but the time I get the grill going most people are half way done with their lunch and by the time I get done it can be an hour or so.

My wife is going to bring a separate car to the flag pole. We have a time limit on being gone so if anyone runs into a more major issue I will need help to get her back to the flag pole.

Y'all have fun and be safe. Wave at me as I will be at McD's at 7:30 a.m. with my father-in-laws club.
Cheers!

You folks have a great ride Kevin, I'd like to explore the Casa Grande area someday but I'm sure your fathers group is bored with it.

Em may bail as her sister is in town, rules change when family is involved so I may or may not have an open seat.
Will not know until 5am, that's how Em rolls.

Shauna won't be going this trip. My brother will fill her seat.

I am still in. The wife will be showing up a little after me.

Kevin, if you can, post up what CB channel you guys are on. I will take a listen every once in a while. We will be on channel 7. I have my cell and your number.

Picking up Martin at 515 then Tads by 600 then out to Florence for breakfast and meet Jerry. The Cherokee is full for the ride...

[Locked and Loaded]

I'm up. Eating breakfast. Then finish loading the CJ. Leave house by 6. Pick up brother in Apache Junction. Trying to be at flagpole by 7:45.

Had an amazing day wheeling with everyone. Thanks Mike for setting this up. Thanks to Jerry and Martin for the spots.Only thing that broke was my baby Jeep.

[Stuka]

Cool photos!

I had a great day out wheel'n with you guys. Christine took some photos, I will try to get them posted up.

Drew, you might want to hold off on this one until you get some sliders. I will let the other guys chime in on their thoughts.

Jeff, be honest. The baby jeep didn't break down, you bent a rim. And anytime you fix something on the trail with nothing more than a hammer and muscle its not a break down, it is a 'trail side modification'.

[rstep]

Great day on the trail, thank you Mike for setting the run up. It was great to see Christine again.
Drew you missed a good one . Rock sides with 4 inch lift a must. Even SOAed I had to watch carefully so I will have rock slides soon.
Jeff I thought you were seeing what brand trail compressors every one had and who had the best hammer...

Tad making it look easy.

It was only flat on the bottom.

A Great picture.

[Tad]

It was a great trip.
Perfect weather and perfect timing.

Your CJ did great Jeff.
I will get my video up when I get to my computer.

Drew, I agree with Mike.
Some type of rocker/body protection is pretty much mandatory for most of that trail.
Also some diff protection, I have several new scars on my front 60 cage and a new tweak in the frame.

I also think Jeff and Mike running AT's have a lot less tire chunks missing compared to Bob and I with our MT's.

Looks like a very nice time was had. Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

The only down side for me was my Chero was down and didn't get go. But the good side is I rode
with Tad and did not worry about anything. Jeff anytime you can fix a problem with a BFH it
not a real trail break down and it was nice to meet your brother. I know Drew you will read this
and yes it sucks not being there. I had and real good time with you guys.

Kind of funny seeing the AZ guys together in, of all places, Arizona! We are going to try to keep the momentum going.

It is sort of ironic that most of the pic's with a lot of AZ FSJ folks are all taken in Ouray.
We need to fix that.

I have been trying to get my videos loaded to "PB" but not been able to, I will keep trying though...





On the top for a breather.

My ride leaving me


I really had fun on this trip and I will be making some progress in order to get mine back and ready for this type of trail soon.. I mean VERY soon. Breakfast was so good I had peanuts for lunch . Also forgot to mention that cool "billy goat" with the goatee.
