September Arizona Classic Bronco Run

[Mr Rags]

The September ACB club run will be to Payette Draw in Payson, AZ. This trail was in Peterson's "must do" trail list. This trail can be run in broncos that are slightly modified to full-on rock buggies.

We will be meeting at the Home Depot parking lot in Payson at 9:00 AM on Saturday Spet. 25th.

Wish I could go I've been wanting to do that run for quite a few years but I'll be up in Ouray and Moab for a week and a half the weekend after that;D

I will be there! Sounds like a neat run. I can't wait!

Where and when are we planning on meeting in the east valley for the caravan up north to Payson?

 

[Mr Rags]

Sam, I don't think we have talked about that yet. Dave and I might be going up Friday night. I will post up when we get it figured out. Do you know if Kurt is planning on going?

 

[Pedestrian]

My plans are up in the air. We signed a lease on a new shop and may be moving this weekend if the current tenant vacates. I won't know till last minute. I did get my Tcase finished, so the Bronco is good to go.

Actually had my Bronco out for a drive last night. Still a couple small (I hope) issues to work out, but all in all not too bad. Wife and I are going on a mini road trip Sunday (not in the Bronco) up on the Rim, and not sure which day we're getting back. If I can get my issues worked out by then, I may be up for the trip.

 

[Mr Rags]

Steve, glad to see you got her back on the road! It's been a while. Hope to see you there.

 

[Mr Rags]

Ok guys. For anyone who wants to caravan up out of the east valley, we are going the meet at the Mc'Donald's on the SE corner of Ellsworth and Baseline at 6:00 AM. We are going to pull out at 6:15, so give yourself enough time food/fuel/ice etc. See you there.

Mitch this is REALLY tempting! It's about a 5 hour drive for me, so I have to leave at 4:00 in the morning... Well 5:00 NM time, lemme see what I can do. The Bronco needs a road trip under it's belt.

 

[Pedestrian]

I'm out
Have fun.

 

[broncnaz]

I'm also very tempted. I've never run any trails around payson. decisions decisions?:?

 

[needabronco]

It's getting close! Seems strange driving 1,000 highway miles to run maybe 15 miles of trail....

 

[Mr Rags]

Casey, just think of how much fun it will be though. You get to spend all weekend driving your bronco. ;D

There is an internationally televised finshing tournament at Roosevelt lake this weekend. I am thinking that Payson is going to be a mad house.

 

[bohntr28]

I think there is also a biker rally up there this weekend as well...

 

[needabronco]

Have fun! I'll be dropping a gas tank with 15 gallons of gas in it. Take lots of pictures for me...

 

[Mr Rags]

Well, we had a fun trip. There was fun, there was carnage and most of all good people and a good time. Here are some photos. Next month Cherry Creek!!!

Casey sorry for you luck. Hope you can make it down some other time.

 

[Mr Rags]

a couple more photos.

That looks like a great trail! Next time you guys run it let me know, I'd sure like to go... I did manage to get home, without any major issue. I ran a little hot going up the big hill from Ash Fork to Williams, it was mostly the trans, but after it cooled down, all was good. I even did fair to good with gas mileage, best was 15, the rest right around 12-12.5, so no complaints.
