AZ-Vulture Mine Trail, Sunday Feb 16

[alrock]

Please note the updated meeting place and time!

President's Day weekend is coming up soon and that's a good Sunday to do some exploring.

Vulture Mine Trail is a new addition to the Wells book. (I really need to buy the book). It's a trail outside of Wickenburg that's rated Moderate by Wells, meaning it's easy. 4low might not get used that day, or at least minimally, unless Bigunit comes across some cattle guards.

It should be a fun exploring day, seeing abandoned mines, buildings, etc. I believe the trail is about 3 hours including the exploration time, but that's TBD at least until I get the book.

So, who's interested in a day of light 4x4 exploration?

 

[LoJac963]

I would absolutely LOVE to go but I work weekends. Plus having stock tie rods, etc worries me as mine is my daily driver. Hopefully sometime soon I can meet all you AZ guys and hit the trails with you!

 

[Zach]

Haha! Those damn cattle guards!

 

[3Hummers]

LoJac it doesn't sound like this trail will test your tie rods.

 

[NEMISI5]

[Reloader]

Whenever you want to change out your tie rods, I'm just down Dysart road by the airbase. I have a hoist and all the tools to swap yours to 16mm ones. Cant do an alignment but I can get it close. PM me if you want to set something up. What part of Surprise are you in? I work near the intersection of Peoria and Dysart.

 

[alrock]

Lojack has an H2

 

[Reloader]

Not a problem. I'll work on H2s also. Should be able to get one up in the air to work on like we do on the 3s.

 

[Azjohn]

I'm in I'll take the day off, unless you want to push it to Sunday? Sounds like there is more ppl on here that has my schedule. And I Love wheeling during the week, way less people on the trails.

I appreciate it, I'm on Waddell west of the loop 303.

Sounds like a fun time! Need to see if the wife will give me a little away time. If its not to cold, I could use my roof top tent and stick around for a few extra days. I want to check out some land over in Arizona I've seen on the internet and maybe check out anything else over there I happen upon. How far is Kingman AZ from the trail.

I think we may change this to Sunday the 16th. Let me know if that's better for everyone. Trail is actually about 3 hours. Just got the Wells book and haven't had a chance to look into it and maybe pair a second trail with it.

 

[Azjohn]

I'm game for Sunday, but I need to know soon to shift my schedule. I'm hoping we run across a Ford, so I can try out my new winch ! LOL

 

[alrock]

Let's do Sunday, it seems to work better for this run.

 

[Reloader]

I'm good with Sunday.

 

[Azjohn]

Perfect I'll adjust my schedule for that. (was scheduled OT for Sunday)

 

[alrock]

Wickenburg is gonna be CRAZY this weekend, so the detour after the trail is very optional. The annual Gold Rush days are happening this weekend and can be a lot of fun but with big crowds.
