What do you all want to run this year....trail plans

[Michael]

Hey it is just around the corner, how about we talk about what we want to run.

I would like to venture out to find Off Broadway and Broad Canyon. I think we tried to find one of those last year but had not luck..

What days are most folks coming in?

[Tad]

We'll be there around noon-ish on the 28th (thursday).
Don't care where we go really.

I do think we should do a night run for Halloween on the 31st.
Probably just something fun, close and easy for that run.

[Michael]

Yeah I will be leaving Sunday morning....so I am out for that day. I will be in El Paso Wednesday night...be in Cruces sometime Thursday morning.

[Heimeken]

I'll be there Thur, Fri and Sat., would also like to do Off-broadway one day. The Cayenne Crawler is on my list too (a rematch from 2008 :D ).

[Sambo]

man you guys been watching me on the internet or what?
i have been studying broad canyon as to were the road to get in is!(google earth is awesome)
and i too would like to run off broad way!.figured sandia would be a good quicky thursday night maybe?
cayenne crawler would be fun too!

tad we'll be pulling out sunday morning as well!

[Tad]

It's all good with us.
We'll probably head back to Tucson or Silver on Sunday then also.

[mcjeep80]

[fourwheelerjeff]

[Michael]

I'll be checking in on Thursday around noon and leaving Sunday. Not sure what to expect wheeling, this is her first run, so don't want to tax anything.

...Not sure what to expect wheeling, this is her first run, so don't want to tax anything.
I wouldn't worry about it, this is a great group to wheel with and between us we pack a ton of tools and spare parts.
This is a shake down run for my front 60, with a 300 mile trip home I don't plan to head into spots where I think breakage will occur either.

Cayenne maybe a bit too much for my experience level and I'd be happy to see if I can't find my way back through box canyon again and do some exploring over the back side of the dam.

[Michael]

Box canyon is always good for all levels

[Sambo]

like jaime i have a bone to pick with box canyon! lmao remember the fun extraction we had?

only this time 2 trys. if i cant make it i'll gladly except defeat:o

[Michael]

Now isn't that one where me and Irving screwed up are rigs on last time? It has the Lava rock entry? Or am I wrong.... I thought we did that the first year but you were not with us Sambo.

[Tad]

Michael, I was thinking this part for box canyon:

But remember after the XJ choptop showed up, he took us up the North side of that wash to the CCC dam?
There was that whole area out to the North of the dam that looks to be in between the airport and the Off-Broadway map/directions.

I think I have that correct.
Sam and Jaime were not there yet, you went back with them later as I recall.

[Sambo]

yes cayenne does have a lava entry to it! tad first time we ran it i was followed by samurais and near stock jeeps!

i broke my front shaft,then killed my batt.then the winch fest started!

[Heimeken]

I think we can get to Broad Canyon from the airport side instead of from the Radium Springs area we tried last year, due to the closed gate.


Last time we tried Cayenne, there was major breakage at the top, but that was the last 100 ft. or so. The rest was not bad and McJeep had 35" tires then and made it up to that point. I think we are in better shape for it now. :thumbsup:
