So I take this as somewhere between 6-7 am at the circle K, I am correct in guessing the one on the way to Redington?

It's the last Circle K on Tanque Verde, just west of where Soldier trail comes to it.
I am totally game for 6am.
That ball of fire only gets worse.

I hope you guys had fun!

I did the annual CK run with the azvjc. It was a good time! I showed them what a FSJ can do!

It was very good to be flogging a FSJ on the trail again.
Caddy ran flawless.

Just got in and pic's loaded.
Met up with Tad and Martin at 6am on Tanque Verde rd. After standard pleasantry's we head east to Reddington rd. They have now paved up to about mile 3 the on to dirt till mile marker 17 and we took a left. This is the start of the north end of the trail.
8 Miles threw the canyons and river bottoms to the main road. Since heading west we got big red to our backs it was a bit&^ driving the first 17 miles. this was the first real shake down for the season and things are going good. Martin did great in his stock rig , however he has his first desert wounds .The trail was quite over grown but that's okay with us we have no paint. I had a tree limb hanging from the rack for awhile until I hit the next tree. Nice trail for the first 3miles couple tech spots but all did well. The last hill out is long and off camber and lose Tad went first , followed by Martin and myself a third the way up it happened Martin's rig vaper locked not good, I ain't backing down. Martin got his rig off to the side enough to let me pass and it was go time to the top.
This hill has been my nemesis for 10 years I dis like up hill. The off camber and turn at the top is well fun. The rest of the trail is ridge road and okay. We stopped at the bolder field for some play time then off to the ranch road and home. Or not Martin vapor locked again and the wait was on to he cooled down. We all made it out and had a great time , it did get hot out there but at least we got to start our wheeling season.

Good Morning Tucson FSJ's

Martin stay behind the bigger rigs or the trail

Great day wheeling even with the heat coming down on us mid day, this is about a 3.5 trail with lift.

Nice to hear wheel'n season has started! Let's take Martin out to box canyon/florence area!

I had a nice trip with the azvjc on Saturday to Crown King. There was 20 something rigs in our group and over 100 overall. The mostly 'baby jeep' azvjc is very accepting of my rig.

Thats because they're afraid of it. Its what they wish theirs would grow up to be.

Well the tow was not for a vapour lock.... that getting stuck in a water hole in the river bed that I ran the end alone

. The trail was about 50' on my right, wet tires, rivers rocks and no lift is no Bruno

. I am really impressed with what a stock rig will do if you are not scared is a little trail rash. I will post some picks in the morning.

I need to get a better spacer the aluminium one is garbage out here, my temps were way below 200 but still all the heat just transferred to the carb which boiled my fuel off

. So new spacer and some springs are in my future.

Thanks Tad and Bob for letting me hang out... great times on the trail.
