Any interest in a mid july AZ run? Update! Details finalized!
I've pretty much got everything set, went off the poll voting (all 4 of you, lol) and decided on Sunday 15 July.
If you guys can give me a definite yes or no on if you'll be coming that'd be great!
OK...LOCATIONS HAVE CHANGED DUE TO SYCAMORE BEING CLOSED UNTIL 7/31
Location: Wickenburg; Buckhorn Creek trail and Vulture Mountain Trail This will be a 40+ mile loop.
Date: 15 July. Forecast is calling for 100+ So bring water!
Meet Up Location: Cabelas Parking lot across from Westgate in Glendale. 9380 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale, AZ Southwest corner of the parking lot closest to intersection of Glendale and 95th. Look for the Orange Raptor with the ADD bumper.
Meet up time: 9:00 AM
Dinner and Drinks will be flexible. If we want to hit one of the restaurants in Westgate on our return, that's an option.

Basic Plan is to start in Wickenburg, and head out to the East along Constitution Highway and follow the Buckhorn Creek Trail for 24.7 miles. There's several mines and other interesting things along the route to allow for stops if we want them.
Once we complete the BCT, we'll roll down Castle Hot Springs Road to the 60, where we will catch Gates Rd and cross the Hassayampa River. From there we'll be on Vulture Mountain Trail. We'll follow that for 13.1 miles until we run into Vulture Mine rd, which will take us back into Wickenburg and conclude the run.
It should be a pretty good day, so bring lots of water and if anyone has any of the little portable radios, bring those along too, because comms are going to be a bit of a pain. I'm not running a CB or VHF radio, I don't know about you guys.
Here's an overview of the trip. PM me for the Google Earth file.
