I have run the montana mntn trail before but I came at it off the 60 east of apache junction...not sure about going south to FJ....anyone that knows this gas station in question have a chance to jump on google map or earth and dish out some gps numbers or adrs so I can navigate my way there from central phx.
thanks in advance

So who is all in for this one?? Lance I don't have all the hi tech stuff but I can get you there. PM for a phone # if needed. That is about as hi tech as I get.

I actually think that the gas station is west of florence junction on the 60. I remember there being a stop light right there. I wish I had the time to run out there and figure it out. tibaal89 i know you are probably coming up from the 79 (maybe) so I am sure we'll see you if we pass by if you wait at florence junction. I'll try to find an early spot at the gas station to be visible. Otherwise channel 16 as always!
Fredwood...can't wait. I'm sure the whole family will have fun!
I am bummed that more aren't coming out! Maybe last weekend was enough to FJ some folks out for awhile!

Im pretty sure you can't miss the Texaco at the junction. I just can't remember if it is East or West of it. We will be coming from 79 and Im gonna try and rig up a CB. So if it works we will be on 16.

Well I got the rig all cleaned up.It looks like very minimal pinstriping.

Thank goodness. Looks like we my see another day on the trail. As for my nutz........ I think she's disposed of those loooooonnngg ago. It may have been a good thing our CB quit for a bit. You guys may have heard some cussing and such on the radio. Thanks guys for being patient with us while we played dodge the scratchies. I hope we can do this again soon. Pics will be up soon. Thanks again guys!!!!!

Great run! Thanks Lance for leading and educating! Good to hear about the pinstripping Bryce (hopefully you get to go back out)! It's funny how food dominates the end of the run! Eduardo's Pizza in Superior is awesome and highly recommended (but go easy on the jalapenos).
The run was good for any stock rig and there should be no worries. Highlights were the views of the valley...and of course the people! (Including the Arizona Sheep Spotters!)
Of course the pics (as no run would be complete without pics)

The charge to "Rock Mt."

The trail

The switchbacks

1legLance out ahead

The TuRD

The view of the valley from the top

Those who missed it....Hope to see you on the next one!

I posted up a trip report over in that area.

cruzinwyo - you are the photography king!!

Looking forward to 1leglance's pics, good stuff.
