Arizona Outback Trail Run april 26 27

[azbootcamp]

Would like some feed back and see if there is an interest in the local off road community and as far as I can tell this type of trail ride has not been presented to the off road community.

On the weekend of April 26th I am heading out for a day trip that will encompass the following routes:
Lake Pleasant to Crown King
Crown King via Senator Highway to Prescott
Prescott via asphalt to Highway 89a
Highway 89a NF-104 to NF-132 to West Cherry Road
Old Cherry Road to Old Sycamore Rd
Cross over Highway 69 to Bloody Basin
Bloody Basin to NF-24 (7 Springs)
Exit North Cave Creek Road

This two day overland journey will be light technical other then at the start running to Crown King which many of you have run before. Much of the route is very scenic much of it is in the cool pines.

The only area I have not checked for trails is from Cherry to Highway 69. Many years ago I did run my Pinzgauer within this corridor but did not finish the trail and am hoping that the off road community can tell me how the trails are in this region. Worst case scenario is running from Cherry to I-17 and then Bloody Basin.

There will be many entry\exit points along the way for those that would like to do partial routes. If the interest is high and hopes of future runs on this loop, I will see about vendor commitment.

If you are interested please email directly at yahoo! My email addy is azbootcamp
I will send you the basic requirements as needed for this once in a lifetime run.

I am inviting you to join me on a 2 day trip that will explore many trails that are rated easy. The exception is running from Lake Pleasant to Crown King.
The route will be very scenic and will be in the upper elevations with cooler temperatures

I will depart from Lake Pleasant at 0800 hours it should take roughly 3 hours to get to Crown King where we will stop for lunch.
We will continue via the Senator Highway to Prescott and set up camp at either Lynx Lake or Granite Basin.

From Prescott at 0800 we will depart and head north on 89A to FR 104 and follow the trail to Cherry. From Cherry we will go overland to Meyer to Bloody Basin. If time is permitted we will stop at Sheep Crossing and then head back on 7 Springs Road to Cave Creek.

I will be using a CB that will be on channel 4 as well as my cell phone. You are invited to join me any where on the route and can exit anywhere you please.

Please have the following items on board:

A spare tire
Tool box
First aid
Fire extinguisher
Straps, hooks and if possible but not needed a winch
Water
Gas
Food\water\snacks

If you plan on camping:

Tent
Sleeping bag
Camping fees
Cooking gear

Any breakdowns will be extracted to closest highway for safe recovery.
Gas points are as follows- Crown King, Prescott, Meyer and Cave Creek.

As usual pack it in-pack it ut or dispose trash in dumpsters when found along the way.

Because I posted this trip on a few boards I would ask that you email directly at yahoo! My email addy is azbootcamp. Its hard to check all the boards if any one places a post. Again- please email me directly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
