Anything South of Buckeye?

[KURT]

Are there any trails of intrest, South of Buckeye? The White Tanks, are the only trails I know of in the area, and Well's book only listed some easy stuff, down by Gila Bend.

a pile of illegals makes a nice 3.0

Now that was just not right. You know some of them could easily make it a 4.0-5.0:eek:

[Wayco]

Yeah, they can be very slippery when wet.....

What are the ratings on those trails?

[cruiserjim]

I ran Gila Monster recently,probably a 3.0.If you want to run it let me know.

Hey Jim, I'd be up for it some weekend. Have you run Cheap Trick?

Jim

[KURT]

Cheap Trick is probably beyond my capabilities, but I'm interested....

I live in Estrella, and it's a long way to anything but WT's.:eek:

[cruiserjim]

Have not run Cheap Trick but have a good idea of where it's at.I would be down to run Gila Monster.maybe some exploring after?

[lazarus7]

I also live in Estrella.If you guys want to run these
let me know.I'm not sure where they are either but I
am also up for some exploring. Thanks

south??? the dunes are southwest. thats about it i think. look on google earth

[TMR37]

Also in Estrella. I work weekends occasionally, but will be up for a run if I'm not working. Stock JK here - even the SUV type tires, so nothing too difficult.

This is in the buckeye hills area,roughly jackrabbitt/elliot.I know where Gila Monster is so maybe i'll post a run for that and we can see if we can find Cheap Trick is.

Cheap Trick is in the north-south canyon/wash that is just west of Gila Monster.

Is it a in and out trail, like Upper Scorpion? Or do you go in one way and come out on a road? I heard it was a 4.0 to 5.0 depending on your line.

My understanding is that it is an in and out but that there is a road/trail that parallels the wash so you don't have to do the obstacles on the way back out. I believe there is a barbed wire fence blocking the way out to the south.

I haven't run Cheap Trick - only been up to the first obstacle. I wasn't set up for it at the time. It's probably rated a 4.0 if I'm understanding today's ratings (I tend to go by the old ASA4WDC ratings). I think there are only 3 or 4 obstacles.

yeah by staggering them easy 4.5

[cruiserjim]

Ran both Gila Monster & Cheap Trick today out in the Buckeye Hills. Here are a couple pics from Cheap Trick. If anyone wants to run these, let me know

At first i thought that was an 8" in the back of a Wrangler. Thought we might have something in common.

It was an in and out. Also when I ran CT I was locked F&R on 32's in a full body'd XJ. I dont remember it being that tough.

[cruiserjim]

It comes out to a road,not real hard but there are a couple optional things that are pretty good.

Looks like a fun trail. We should run it soon.
