The early group will have camp set up and be playing around during saturday afternoon, but if there is any questions my cell number is 520-349-9281 Attendees: 2000taco zjeep scooterd58 steve w/landcruiser aztaco 96xjwheeler yotamster yotaman adam728 updated 10-16

Its a stock TJ on 31s right Cuz Lex said he made it through with his yota stock and only 31s. Im not gonna lie though we might... just might have to drag you through some spots but for the most part you should be good just pick some good lines, its a very fun trail.

My buddy matt is trying to get some of his friends together for a run out to the gap this coming sunday, the 15th. He asked me to go and i told him that you and i were trying to get some people together for the 21st and he said that if i go with him this weekend he would go camping on the 21st. So i think i am going to go with him. You want to come too, and anyone else that is interested.

Weekend standby sucks, at least your not fuel shop getting to put in the last 2 aux cells on a c-130, worked on putting 2 of them in all this week sure was a pain in the a*s. Colby, thats the way i ran it last time so that sounds good ill meet up with you guys around your place though if thats cool

Hey guys I had an idea. How about a night run. I did it a couple months a ago and it was a lot of fun. We could leave around about 5:00pm eat dinner at the bump stop and maybe catch the sunset. And wheel into the shack and camp out. That's what we did. The only thing is that the difficult rating goes up to a 4.5 to 5.0. But it's a lot of fun guys I think you would get a few more guys to go if you made it a night run.
just my .02

That was the plan yota if we got enough people to want to go camping we were gonna go later in the evening get to a nice spot and camp out. So far looks like Myself, Colby and a few of his buddies, Scott, and You are in for camping out I really want it to work out since my wife already got 3 days off just to actually make a run. So once again who else is up for this night adventure camp out!!!!!

My only thoughts are it would be nice to set up camp an cook dinner with some what of light left. I would rather leave a little earlier and not have to worry about setting up and cooking in the dark. But thats just my $0.02. Yotamaster, you in?
