This is subject to change depending on group interest, and if I can find someone to commit to being a trail boss on this run.

Depends on the rig really...Chivo is the harder of the two...Chimney is pretty laid back, but it is alot of fun... Chimney is prettier Chivo is more challenging. As for the Circle K, its the last one on the left side before you ever hit the dirt....East of Houghton on Tanque verde

Chimney Rock is longer trip coming from the long way in i believe. Correct me if im wrong James. I will probably join you on this run. I havnt run the long way into Chimney in awhile wouldnt mind doing this one. But will go wherever the majority wants to run.

You are correct, however, Chivo can be long as well if you run the long loop...almost 20 miles off road.

When we went last time, we just went to the falls, and called it a day, cause BIG storm clouds were coming in.

So, if everyone else is cool with it, we can run the long loop at chivo...It'll be my 6th time, so I should be able to remember where the start is lol

I would deffenetly be done for doing the whole loop at chivo. I would be willing to bet that we could get a good size group together for this run. Hopefully i will have a cb by then.

If there are more than 10 rigs, I'll split it into two groups, and assign a second trail boss for the second group...

You'll need a decent TUNEABLE anteanna...+/- 20 bucks You'll need an 18' CABLE....whether or not you need 18', gotta have 18' to tune it. For a radio, shoot for the Cobra 19DX (40 - 50 bucks) or Cobra 29 if you can afford it, usually around 80 to 100?

Kyle, I know the blazer would be fine going all the way back to the falls. Although i have never ran the entire loop so i wouldnt know what to say about that section.

Well if you havnt done it in a few years then yes it has been changed a little bit. As far as i know you should be fine at least up until the part where you turn left to do the loop. Never done the loop so couldnt tell you whats through the whole thing. Probably couldnt be worse then you sitting on your bumper and getting winched more than twice though

Kyle, I think you'll be fine...There will be a couple of spots that may get your attention and some steel from your bumpers, but nothing to bad.... If we run the loop, we will be running it backwards, basically heading towards the falls first and coming out closer to THree Feathers on the way out... You'll be fine.
