I'll open with my disclaimer...
I have never been on this trail. All the info I have on this is from talking to others and what's available online. If you look up Experience AZ and then review the Temporal Gulch and Juniper Flat info, that will give you some ideas. With that in mind, I would like to keep the group small this time. As I'm told, many if not all of the hardest obstacles have bypasses. This will be a learning experience for me. I will cap this at 10 rigs for now.
NOTE - Body damage is possible according to different sources. Most occurred on "larger" obstacles. I hope to be off the trail before dark, but please be prepared as necessary if we are not.
MEETING LOCATION
(Intersection of AZ 83 & AZ 82)
Shell Station
3235 AZ 82
Sonoita, AZ
Meet there by 9:00 am and depart for trailhead by 9:30. It is about 13 miles of pavement to the trailhead. We can disconnect and air down there. I do not know if that gas station has an air station for airing back up. I will have my Viair portable with me, but does have its limits.
REQUIREMENTS
1) Patience
2) Great attitude
3) Well maintained, trail ready rig, working 4x4 and a good spare tire
4) Working CB radio
5) Off road tires please
6) Enough food, water, creature comforts for the day, for each person in your party, plus some extra in case of breakdown or other emergency
6)See #1 & #2 for further insight in my goal with this.
RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED
1) Some sort of suspension lift (BB or leveling kit would suffice)
2) One working locker has been suggested by some, but open diffs by others
3) AZ State Land Use Permit (Looking at the maps it doesn't appear we will venture into these areas. If you want to be safe than sorry like me, it's a small fee to get one online. Let me know if you need more info about this.)
4) Skids/armor
Be aware/prepared that this is a human and smuggling corridor. Cell phone service may be non-existent.
The plan is to spend the day out there, trying the different obstacles, some sightseeing and getting to know each other. There are several trails that break off from Mansfield Canyon. Time permitting, we may explore some of these too.
