Mogollon Rim Trail

Let me know if you guys have any interest, (Sat) 7/11/09.

That's my drill weekend.

So what trail(s) were you thinking?

That sux.

Not sure, Rim Road. Looks like it goes from the 87 and FR300 (Baker Lake/Baker Lookout) to the 260 (Rim Visitor Center). Depending on time, I may check out a few creeks around the Payson area too. Any suggestions?

 We are gonna do our best to make this run it sounds like fun. More graded gravel roads?

 Sounds good. Yup, with the occasional 2ft wide shelf-road.

Yeah the Rim Rd from 87 to 260 has some nice views along the way.  General Springs Cabin and the Battle of Big Dry Wash marker are right next to each other. You might be able to visit the top of a fire tower. And you could always check out Knoll or Bear Canyon lakes just for fun.

Rim Rd is like the Apache Trail... easy, historical, good views, and a road every Arizonian should travel at least once.

 Yup, should be a good time.

 When and where is the meet up?

I'm debating on running this with you guys or if I should run the Log Corrall Trail with another group. Finally got the vibration figured out I think and I want to test out the new lift characteristics. So I'm up in the air. I definitely would like to run Bulldog Canyon one afternoon next week with Scott if anyone else is interested.

Meet at the same spot as last time:The last gas station on Shae, the one just before the Beeline. 730ish and leave by 8?

JD- As you probably know, not much flexing going on with this trail unless you drive a Buick. New lift and flex… I would be all over that Log Corral trail. Good to hear you got that issue cleared up.

Just checking in to see if any of you guys are going to make it out?

Damion- Are you in?

JD- I know you were debating.

Anyone?

 Were in Brett!!! Will see you at the station bright and early

 Sounds good Damion, see you guys in the morn.

A nice scenic trail from start to finish. There's a good bit to see, but between forest
Road closures for prescribed burns and the crowds at one of the lakes we cut it kind of short.

Damion/Renee - Thanks for making this run with me.

A few pictures.

Rim Road

I think it reached a high of 83 on the trail...

Wow - high of 83, must have been great! I went to Saguaro lake where it was 110

Looks like you hit  up Knoll lake, I love to camping up there. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next run.
