Squeeze Rock Friday 9/8

[SHNIPE]

Yjunk and I are planning on running through it and spending the rest of the day checking out as much of sycamore as possible.

Meet at 8:30am at the dirt embankement just past the Bush Hwy turn off to Saguaro Lake.

Plan to be moving by 9am.

Bring lunch or plan on heading back to Fountain Hills after. We can run it in under an hour up and back if there are no problems and the group isnt too big. Its a fairly easy trail that you can make as hard as you want it to be depending on your skill and lack of worry for body damage :D

I was up there last week and there was a lot of water at the entrance; I'm guessing the water hole that is about 3/4 of the way up will be pretty deep... Just FYI... We're gonna get wet! I guess this will be a good time to get my breather tubes above the axles!! :D

[SHNIPE]

Yeah i forgot about that. It will most likely reach the bottom of the door panels. No worries, Barry has rolled in some worse slop that what will be there. I will have to buy another tow strap since my last one broke trying to straighten some stuff after the roll.

HOpefully most of the water wont be flowing but it will depend on how much more rain we see the rest of the week.

I guess this will be a good time to get my breather tubes above the axles!!
and for me to drill new drain holes in the floorboard :D

Shnipe... I doubt I'm going to make it Sunday. I finally got a new system set up, but I've got a lot of software to install and there were a few critical files that I didn't have backed up, so I'm going to have to recreate a handfull of fairly complex spreadshets before monday... so my weekend just turned into a working weekend.

[SHNIPE]

Roger that! We will wheel again asap once it dries up. This front locker has opened a whole new bag of tricks for me.. F R E A L S!! Ive got to PM you bout the exploration!!

[RokNRich]
