I will be driving the back road from Lake Pleasant to Crown King this Sunday. We'll be meeting at the gas station just east of I-17 on Carefree Highway at 9AM on Sunday.

Who: Anyone interested with a capable vehicle. So far just my family (lifted / locked 86 4Runner) and my non-ham friend Jac (lifted / locked Jeep JK + winch)
What: Back road 4x4 trip to Crown King
When: Sunday October 24th @ 9AM
Where: Meet at gas station just east of I-17 on Carefree Highway (3150 W. Carefree Highway Phoenix, AZ 85086)
Why: Beautiful and historic trip. Should be cold.

I'll be beaconing APRS as KC7IPY-9 and will be monitoring 147.520 simplex

Great time! The trail seemed more difficult than 9 months ago, but I managed to keep all of my engine oil where it belongs this time. No issues and a fun time by all involved. :)

That's a trail that gets rearranged heavily by each storm that passes through. I bet that hail/rain storm from 3 weeks ago changed it quite a bit.
