WHAT

An easy, fun night run!



It's Halloween so come celebrate with us!

We will be doing a night run to Box Canyon Run and after we climb the waterfall, stopping to hang out and have a campfire as well as dinner.

So its a great chance to decorate your truck or yourselves and hang out!

Please bring some wood as well as your grill and food and candy Smile

Also, feel free to camp out after you want as well.

We will start with Box Canyon from South to North (enter at Price Rd).
After dinner, will head out North via Mineral Moutain Mine road

Info about the Trail:
Box Canyon (very easy, but funl) is a signature trail, good trail for beginners and all.

www.google.com/maps/pr...d-111.4675

Go to airdown spot off of Price Road and then get on the trail around 5pm.


A fun run for veterans, a fun run for noobs who want to see what their truck can do and use their lights!


POTLUCK AND CAMPING LOCATION
we will be meeting in a nice clearing for the Potluck and camping. Please feel free to bring your Potluck dish as well as a bundle of firewood.

It is easily accesible - head east on the 60 (coming from PHX). Take a right (south) onto Mineral Mountain Rd. Then take a right (west) onto Gasline rd.

About 3/4 mile, take a right (past the wash) and drive into the clearing. Everything is trailer friendly here.

Here are the coords:

I will have at least 2 pounds of chicken, and many others will have food. but this is about hanging out, so dont feel like you have to rush out if you are not bringing anything for the Pot Luck

If anyone gets stuck, we will have plenty of snatch straps to get you up too

Can we NOT spend 2 hours on the waterfall this time? It was a bummer to get to camp so late and not eat.

Whatevs. I do what I want (even if I didn't actually intend to, I probably wanted it anyway).

We can just go up the "fun" parts last Marc that way we can catch up to the group later. lol
Didn't we have to wait on another truck that was supposed to have a locker last time? That's what took up all the time at the falls last year, from what I recall.

We’re coming down.

We have not decided yet if we will do the run or just meet y’all in camp (like last year). Might do some exploring during the afternoon, setup camp and wait for the group to arrive....not sure if we’re bringing the trailer or not.
