Okay AZ guys, we had a goal to go wheel'n at least once a month. How about Saturday the 24th? I have a buddy that is getting his new Jeep in the next week or two and he would love to take it out. Florence comes to mind. We could do Upper Ajax, Box, maybe go part way to the Coke ovens or Elvis? If the nights are not too cold I would be up for camping too.

Sweet guys. Okay, let's call it a date. If my buddy's rig isn't ready we can go anyways. Unless it is really cold Tad I am up for camping. Anything above 45 or so is good to go.
I'm really going to try and make this one. I've been jonesing to go out and it's been awhile.
Question I have is what Jeep to take. I'd like to take the pickup and make it a true FSJ run, but it's been like 15 yrs since doing UA and I don't think I've ever done Elvis. Truck is rear locked on 35's, but carburated, and I really don't like to abuse it. Are these trails mostly optional stuff with bypasses?
If I take the YJ, the trail is a non-issue. Has Waggy axles, so at least has some FSJ DNA.
Thoughts?
And BTW, I saw Will E's Chero at Freescale today. Sweet rig man!
Hey Josh, thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I have been driving it since my wife's liberty blew a heater hose assembly.
Elvis has its challenges. There are several lines that can be taken. The first waterfall does not have a bypass.
Let's see who is coming and what they are bringing and where we might go and then we can decide. No worries if you don't show up with FSJ. Mostly we just want to make sure we get out some!
Bring the Wrangler and let's play.
My Atlas needs a workout before I dump the break-in fluid.

I have only run Elvis once. Kevin can probably answer your question best. If you are going to bug out around lunch time we might be able to adjust the schedule and do Elvis a little later.
Well I am planning on being there also and not camping so I can get you out Drew. It beed awhile since I have been in the Box Canyon area
but I should be able to find are way out

Ok, YJ it is! I'll be checking back for meeting time and place.
Nice!
I am camping with Mikie unless that gets shelved.
Weather looks to be good.
Can't bring a trailer if we are doing Elvis but as long as it's above freezing and we can find a decent spot I don't care.

Shouldn't be an issue, we just need to be smart about our timing and what direction we go through box canyon itself. They are going to have about 30 rigs. They are leaving the Gold Canyon gas station at 9am and they will head through box canyon from the Price road side.
We can either go in cottonwood and avoid box canyon completely or head in via price and do box. Either way we can take 'sandman' back out to price road, it bypasses box canyon and exits where the Elvis turn off from Box canyon is. Drew, Jerry and anyone else who wants to can head out price road (the azvjc group will have already passed) and the rest of us can head up Elvis.
I am leaning on going in Box canyon. That way we are 'ahead' of the group and there is less chance we will meet them on the trail going in the opposite direction.

Does that involve going up the waterfall I went down last time?
