Myself, hopefully my roommate and a couple of his buddies are running Crown King, stoppin for food up there and then heading back home. Just throwing out the invitation for those of you who'd like to join, I'd love to have ya'll out there. Might even be some snow to play in up top :D

Date -- Dec. 5th
Meeting time/place -- TBA


Anyone interested?

AHHHH man! $!!*@!&$!! birthday party on the 5th.

I luvs me some CK.

Oh well, seems i'll never run a trail with Avis.

I think Avis is a ghost in the machine...

lol.. I just apparently have horrible luck when it comes to trail runs with you guys.

Chad, I think I'm gonna be doing another one in January sometime with Caleb..

in lew of what just happen on this trail i am up for this run. i am iching to get out since it has been about a month now since i have hit a trail. it will be fun to finally do this run. and yes i am also up for another fr98 run also. i checked out the pics and the topo and i was drooling to be on that run.

Good deal!

K, I guess us eastsiders (everyone but you lol ) are meeting up at 730 to head out, I am not sure at all where the start of the trail is but I"m gonna try and think of a place where we can meet up with you. Any ideas?

the staging area is at castle hot springs rd and crown king road. where the fork is there the staging area is on the right. i have been there a few times because that is where i air down before venturing into lake pleasant. do you have a fax number and i will send you some info on this trail from the wells book if not i will scan it at home and email it to you. the first half is easy the second half is where it goes from moderate to difficult. the last 7-8 miles is always changing with the rain and weather. how many are coming for sure with you. the trail alone will take 4-6 hrs. also check out the been and done for some video and pictures of past runs. the suz of arizona video is great because they ran it when it snowed. i am going to take it that you are meeting on the east side at 730 and then heading out to lake pleasant if that is the case then lets plan to start at 830-900. we will come out on the i-17 for the return trip.

I do not have a fax machine, so if you could e-mail it that'd be great. I asked the guy whos kinda heading this up and he said we could meet at the staging area or the gas station where we get off the 17 from (waiting for his txt back, I don't know what exit we take)

The last I heard, we have 3 XJ's going, a Silverado and You

carefree hwy exit

i may have to into work to get some jobs out but i will still make there i get in at 5am and i can have them ready and be back on the road to meet you there.

Alright, cool. Well which ever is easier for you to meet at man. Won't matter to us either way which one. My number is 480-760-3219 just so ya have it. Name is Daniel.

Seeing as you know the area, is there a "safe" easy to get back to area to leave my truck/trailer if I decided to pull my jeep to the beginning of the trail?

The staging area is huge there and alot of the quadders and bikers us it for their trucks and trailers. If you do haul up then i can ride back to there in case you need any help and then i can jam home on lake pleasant road

hmm alright. tempting. Do people brake stuff up there often?

not unless your scooby. There are bypasses but you know it could be a dirt road and you still run the chance something could break. As with any trail you can make it as easy as you want or as hard as you want. Must know your limits grasshopper:)=)

I know my limits... but I push them everytime I go out, which is why I am thinking about pulling it.. lol

here is that info had to scan as photo hope you can print and read this

Sweet deal! What book did you say this was out of?
