After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... After Steve and I gave up waiting out the rain at Falcon Hill I decided I was still going to do some RC. I have been wanting to go out and look around for possible G6 locations and after scouring Google maps and trying to keep in mind land ownership and accessibility I came up with a few spots to look at. One at Uno Rd, which is also the road to Picket Post trailhead. The trailhead is day use only but the surrounding area is Tonto National Forest and out of the Superstition Wilderness, so land use shouldn't be an issue. Uno Rd - Google Maps There is a camp area, it's not huge but it's there. If nobody bring a huge trailer this time :flipoff: there should be room.. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8235/8...77a3921f_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8236/8...16ffa64a_c.jpg There was some rocks there too http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8237/8...0a82cf97_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8085/8...2d9ef0b8_c.jpg Then I decided to go play on some other rocks on the other side of the hill and had to try out the new winch and pull pal. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8...55d36b49_c.jpg and from here these rocks are looking back towards the camp area, which is on the other side of the hill. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8499/8...1356ac5a_c.jpg From here I decided to head up to Oak Flat Campground. I couldn't go too far behind the campground since there was a lot of mud and water and I was by myself. It is a free campground but no reservations are available so you'd have to hope enough spots were empty. Oak Flat Campground - Google Maps Pulled into an empty spot here, there were only 3 campers there so finding a spot was easy. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8365/8...381b0873_c.jpg view from the picnic table http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8077/8...9386a7d5_c.jpg view back down http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8368/8...ffa05e3a_c.jpg Pretty gnarly in a few spots http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8368/8...a815de04_c.jpg One of my favorite things to drive. I love twisting it up in a wedge, and this was a long one. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8087/8...b0dbdea6_c.jpg There needs to be some more exploring done at both places. But I think there is potential here. My concerns are, there was a lot of bushes mixed in the rocks around the water at Oak flat but I really didn't venture too far to see if there were doable lines through them, and the camping area at Uno may be a little small to be spread out but still close. There is lots of areas to camp around there though. |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... Bad ass pics and the white truck in background looks so real ! Lol ! |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... Yeah, I've really put some time into keeping the white one as scale as possible. It's my class 1 rig ;) Next month a few of us might go do some looking around and maybe a camp&crawl to get a better idea for the area. |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... Kevin, I'm intrested in a camp and crawl again. Let me know when and where and I'll see what I can do to help |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... i agree with chris. just hope i don't have to go to drill the weekend you pick. |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... Knowing your luck you will... |
We'll update as we start to make plans. Probably won't make a big thing out of it though. Sent from the can using Tapatalk |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... just avoid february 15-17th(valentines weekend) and march 23-24. i vote for march 16-17th (my bday is the 18th so i could get the boss to agree for my bday) |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... I think most of us married guys will avoid a campout on Valentines weekend, I know it wouldn't fly in my casa. |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... This will be just a scouting trip, not the actual G6, so if the weekend doesnt work out for you it wont be a big deal. the G6 will probably be in april sometime |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... i figured that would be the case so i wasnt worried bout feb. and i know its scouting but i need to use my camping gear more according to the wife. |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... I'm up for it as well! Been wantin to go campin for a lil bit now and definetly interested in scouting out new terrain |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... I couldn't agree more, about the camping gear. I have tons and use very little |
Re: After getting rained out at Falcon Hill... and of course katie aint happy bout it cuz she bought the new tent and air mattress(my tent is just a tarp, 2 broken fishing poles, and some paracord) and its only been used once. i hope to have my bronco completely finished soon(had to ditch 4ws cuz katie got another wraith). |
