    Chad may be busy. You should have no problem with the trails that have been offered in the past if they are offered again this year---mostly scenic with some optional "stuff".

    Skids and rockers would be needed. But a WK will be fine.

    Trail options:

    Brutal, Smasher canyon, Broken Arrow, Cliffhanger, Greasy Spoon, House Mtn, Soldier's Pass, Smiley Rock, and maybe a few others here and there.

    No specific itinerary yet.

    Previous years we have paired trails to allow two shorter trails to be run on the same day. Brutal, smasher canyon, and Smiley rock most likely will be full days.

    Weather is finally starting to approach less than surface of the sun hot, so we should be on track for another comfortable trip.

    Hey guys,

    I will be out of town until late on the 1st & my sister will be in town from FL until the 4th of October. I would like to still make it up for at least one day. I am thinking Saturday at this time. Maybe just camp for friday night and return on Saturday night.

    We are pulling out from Texas on Wednesday morning, spending the night somewhere on the way and will arrive early afternoon on Thursday.

    Can't wait, had a really good time in Sedona a couple of years ago and we were alone on that trip!

    I will be making it this year, but will be rig-less. My WJ is being transitioned to its new owner.

    So, I may be riding with ZJ Vato (Mark) for part of the weekend (if he comes), or be looking for a passenger's seat.

    Bummer Eric. Hope this doesn't mean you're leaving Grand Cherokees and the Grand Slams.

    Well, there will still be one in the family... just not owned by me. I recently picked up an 86 CJ7, sprung over with a 350 Chevy and a 96 Powerstroke crew cab, so the WJ has got to go. Yes, the Jeep that I would never sell is on it's way out. I know that I will miss it a ton.

    I'm just checking a final time before I finish packing to see if there is any change in the above, i.e. that there will be no goodie bags and no raffle. Still the case?

    Sandy this will still just be a meeting of fellow grand owners without the raffle and goodie bags.

    Well as it stands right now I am not sure if we are going to be able to make it.
    I had to have an epidural steroid injection yesterday. And I am still in a lot of pain.
    So unless a miracle happens so that all of my leg and back pain goes away we won't be making the trip to Sedona.

    South of Sedona (between Sedona and Cottonwood) would be the best spots. Take the Cottonwood Exit (Camp Verde), Rte 260 West, then 89A north. About 4 (?) miles South of Sedona turn onto an Eastbound or Westbound Forest Rd and park wherever you like. Eastbound is much smaller (but prettier), West is larger, more options, but less privacy. If you pass the water treatment facility or the turn for Red Rock State Park, then you have gone too far. There are also campgrounds on Page Springs Rd: closer to wineries, but farther away from Sedona... still only a 10 min. drive from the morning meeting spot.

    I will likely be tent camping at least 1 night on the East side of 89A, across from the Water treatment plant. It is also the exit road for the Cliffhanger trail.

    Eric,

    Thanks for the info. I am pretty sure i know what your talking about.. i just looked it up on google maps... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...38495&t=h&z=15

    Looks like the 89B FS Rd is what your talking about, and looks to be the end of the cliffhanger trail i think.

    I am sure i will see you up there! Sorry to hear about you selling the dub.. if it were a year ago, i would have been taking that sucker off your hands. Did you still have stock axles in that, or do a swap?
