Hey Brandon! I was WONDERING when you'd finally get here.
I strongly suggest you be somewhat cautious about opening yourself up for being responsible for a large group. I never have as much fun when I feel responsible for a lot of people as I do when I run with a half dozen drivers that I go with regularly, and where we know eachother's capabilities. That trail, in particular, shouldn't be run with more than about a 10 rig party unless you break it into parts. I would suggest 6.
Although its not a technically demanding trail, it's sporty. The likelihood that you'll need to manage some sort of situation, whether in your party or other parties that you encounter along the way, is significant.
The likelihood increases exponentially with an increase in party size.
Passing other parties, either going in the same direction or in the opposite direction... sucks in several places.
Remember when we rock-stacked that guy off a high center up on the shelf road section??
I suggest you look at the board here in some detail and check out the regional sections. There's a whole lot of us Arizonans well knit together and we're all trying to figure out what the heck you've been doing, not coming online here, up until now.
There's an AZFJ subforum.
We've also got a board at
AZFJ › News
By the way... you probably should check out what I'm building in my garage now... there's a thread on here under member build-ups... go look... you'll know it when you see it.
Welcome home, dude.
