I would like to go, but I cannot be sure until Thursday or Friday. If I do go, it will be riding along, becuase the ole' bank account is not too supportive of another road trip for me right now.

Hang in there a couple of more months. BBQ season starts about mid-October, when the heat finally lets up. There is a nice shaded spot at the top of the trail which is a good place to grill out or camp....

...also pack a lunch or some trail snacks AND bring at least 1 gallon of water for each person (it's going to be a hot 106° with lots of sunshine and a 10% chance of some monsoon action later in the day).

For those that want to get some dinner after the run, here are a few choices:

- Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant in Superior (an okay older joint in the opposire direction from Phoenix when we exit the trail)

- Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Gold Canyon (a small, newly opened strip mall place)

- Los Gringos Locos Mexican Restaurant a few miles north of US 60 in Apache Junction (a nice place with good food, a bar and good Margarita's)

We'll see everyone tomorrow at the Shell Station on the NE corner of US 60 and Mountainbrook Dr in Gold Canyon at 0830 with a 0900 roll out....

We're back from another fun day in the Arizona back country. It took us six hours to run the 30 mile trail that started in the lower desert, went up Montana Mountain (Wells #48) and then down the other side on some narrow switchbacks and through a rock garden.

We had five KJ's on this run...

- o8k w/co-pilot desertkj
- AZKJ w/co-pilot Beth
- rkeegstra w/co-pilot Mary
- minimedic w/co-pilot Sam
- M&P40

The trail was nothing extreme other than a short side trip o8k took to check out the new lift. The only other parts of the trail that took some careful driving was another short side trail to an old stone cabin and then the rock garden back on the main trail.

Everyone made it through with no problems. o8k and M&P40, in their lifted KJ's, made everything look like a drive down Main Street. The rest of us (minimedic has no skids) had to watch what we were doing.

After the run, we aired up. minimedic and M&P40 had to head home (they had tickets to a pre-season Cardinal football game). The rest of us found our way to a little Chinese Restaurant in Gold Canyon. We all ordered something different and shared, so we had a large sampling of food. After dinner we sat around talking about anything and everything for a couple of hours. To my surprise, the waitress didn't seem to mind we stayed so long. She kept refilling our glasses with a smile on her face.

Montana Mountain (Wells #48) Award Winners:

eclipsee_gold_cup.g:
o8k w/desertkj is the Flex Champion in his newly lifted KJ with it's modified front bumper. He didn't need to use his RockStacker 2000 like he did on the Four Peaks run.

M&P40 wins the award for the Best Looking Rig in his shiny new and lifted '07 Renegade, with an ARB bumper and winch.

=D> drive.gif =D>
minimedic w/Sam wins the award for being the Pro Driver of the Day doing this trail without skids. You go girl. And good luck starting Fire School this coming week!!!

\\:D/ (biggthumpup) \\:D/
rkeegstra w/Mary gets the award for Eating the Most Dust. Thanks for running the tailgunner position and making sure nobody got left behind.

LOL... I guess the only award left goes to me and that's just for being the first to file a trip report and post some pics.

Beth and I really enjoyed the day and everyone's company. We're anxiously waiting for someone to post the next run. I'm sure o8k will come up with something soon. rkeegstra is going to put something together for October somewhere in the Tucson area. Can't wait for that.

You guys ROCK... a big thanks to everyone for a really nice day on the trail, hope to see you all again soon....

Here are a few pics I took today:

Hey guys, thanks for having me along. Although I didn't get to do any driving today, I enjoyed seeing what the KJ's could do and getting to hang out more with you guys. I also really enjoyed dinner afterwords. I'm planning on going again (with my own Jeep) once I get into the class routine.

I'll have pictures up tomorrow, but right now I'm enjoying a quiet time at home and the driveway just seems too far away lol.

Ya know, it's time like this when I really hate work :mad: Glad to see everyone made it through, guess we can call that 'Casey's Wash' for now :p Good to see Pearl made it through the rocks, I figured a stocker with a good spotter could do it :D

Hopefully I'll be able to make the next run, just have to plan ahead and not get stuck working thru the weekend.
