Posted some in the thread here. (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18373) Also posted a write up on my site. I was really impressed at how clean the trails were. The local club really takes good care of their trails, just wish we could get that kind of support from all the clubs in Phoenix. The club I am part of maintains one trail and I convinced them this year to do a cleanup of a new trail once a year (Used to do the same one twice a year but now there's hardly any work to do on it). Also if any of you Phoenix area 4 Wheelers are interested in getting involved, there is a cleanup of Table Mesa Rd scheduled for Jan 19th. Here's the e-mail I received:

There will be a cleanup on the Table Mesa Road from I-17 to the Agua Fria River. Meet at the end of the pavement on the west Table Mesa Road exit of I-17. Organized and sponsored by the Phoenix Four Wheelers (beverages), the Arizona State Land Department( trash bags), the Lake Pleasant Regional Recreation Area (trucks for hauling tires) and the Bureau of Land Management (dumpsters).Questions; call Ron Karlinsky at the Canyon Service Center in Black Canyon City, 623-374-9443.

Table Mesa Rd is home to some of Arizona's first wash trails (Terminator, Predator, Raw Deal, Anaconda and more).

Thanks. Yeah, we had a great time. Perfect number of vehicles and everyone was well setup for the run. You guys have any good rockcrawling trails up in Prescott? Always looking for trails to run in the summer when the valley feels like an oven.

Chris-

Virtually all of the Prescott National Forest is Offroad Travel Prohibited. The current policy is to fine by the foot from an approved road-

There are lots of fire roads, etc., and while some are fun, I don't yet know of any that are of Your Excellent standards. We do have plenty of opportunities for all day trail/:beer:/cooler weather/camping runs tho-

buy the Key word is YET!!

Although I've lived up here for 30 years, I have not had vehical w/ these capabilities before. Most of the fun roads from years past have been down rated from Jeep trails to 48" and under ATV trails. I'll keep lookin'!!!!!! I think this next holiday weekend I gonna try and find the Great Weastern Trail section on the north end of Mingus Mountain. I know it's open to d'bikes and ATV's and is supposed to be passable for vehicular travel.

Too bad I am going to the Hammers. I usually pick up trash out there, so I think I am covered for awhile. Unstack some rocks for me though.:D

If some other friends show up for the cleanup we were going to run a trail, that's a good idea about unstacking. Lower Terminator was pretty :zzz: last time thru, too many ramps.
