April 16th Offroad Adventure - PICS POSTED -

It's a Friday, but it's the only day off I have in April that is even close to a weekend. Everything else is during the week.

So where should we go and who's going?

Nobody can take a Friday off for offroad fun?

I know I cant. That is opening weekend at the new Job.

I may be in. Wife is Due on the 30th of April. So it might be a little too close to be able to go out and play.

Where to?

I'm open to suggestions on where to go. No more rivers though, lol.

Rivers are easy just don't go in them when the water is running fast, over your axle,. Do not stop or turn sharp in them. By now the Hassampa is dry and worth a second trip if you have bought your BLM/State Trust land permit.

i RSVP "maybe" for now, i'd really REALLY love to make this trip, we will see what my finances allow, that's the only thing holding me back at this point... oh yeah and my battery is dead, gotta replace that too Confused

So we have do the Hassayampa again or maybe something on the east side. What's over by you Perri?

I might be able to tag along, but I don't have the State Land trust permit. (I should have bought one long ago, but I usually was only crossing and never staying)

That said, I don't have the money to really spend, but really want to offroad at least once. I've struggled for the last year with a multitude of problems, some self inflicted.

I'll tune in when you have something more concrete.

There are miles of trails over hrer that don't need a BLM permit. We can start at The Rolls. If you order your BLM permit I'll run the Hassayampa River again.

I'm up for hitting The Rolls. I've been wanting to get out there all month, offroad season hit me like a ton of bricks this year, i can't wait to get out and play again. i don't have my BLM permit either, so the rolls would be a great run for anyone who like me, doesn't have a permit.

Can we still get to Cove 1, or did they close the trail... i hope we can still get there. it's a great cool down spot! Cool

The Rolls is right above Saguaro lake on Bush hwy, it's great for beginners or hardcore 4x4 enthusiasts, the trails range from easy going trail rides, to 4x4 jeep only style rock crawling, just depends on where you go, it is definately a fun place to go. here are a few pics of the rolls area from runs we've done in the past:
