Red Canyon Jeep Trail Run - 03/17/2018

[FrankRoams]

Hello, Socal Overland Bound Members and guests alike! I am planning to do a run in place of the March Meetup, on Saturday, March 17th. This will be a FULL DAY, so please be prepared to be out on the trail for a full day. Pack plenty of food and water and some layers as the temperature will likely drop in the afternoon. This is an easy trail with some great scenery.
Red Canyon Jeep trail is a fun double track that then drops into a graded road, the Bradshaw Trail. We will see the old trestle bridge and time permitting the slot canyon nearby. We'll proceed to drive the Bradshaw trail and find a nice place for lunch. Time permitting we'll stop at the Off-Road obstacles park for a bit, then head out to Blythe, air-up, have dinner and head home.

COMS:
Primary: GMRS CH. 3 (traffic permitting)
Secondary: CB CHannel 16 (traffic permitting)

PLANS:
9am-9:30am - Meet at General Patton Musem. If you get there early fuel up.
9:30 am - Roll out to the trailhead. There we will air down, from what I hear even Bradshaw trail is a bit rough so this will help.
10am - Begin Red Canyon Jeep Trail and the rest of our day.
12-ish We'll stop for lunch, eat what you brung.
1- ish continue on. Rest of the day is pushing forward on Bradshaw trail, should take a few hours with some stop.

I think I am going to have to do a backup, I might be pushing the ham too soon. Of course, you are always welcome!

Chris and I found a great spot last time we camped out there. I might just double back and camp with you. We might get a free airshow out of it!

Will do.

Any reason why the trailer would be significantly more difficult with a trailer? Looking to potentially drag the Chaser out and camping while out.

Nope, the trail is pretty easy with one steep climb. Any 4x4 capable vehicle can do it. Some sand areas but nothing difficult. It's nice scenic trail that drops into a large access road.

Also bringing my camping gear, becuz I'm definitely staying the night out there somewhere.

One spot open on the Rally Point Glen. Take if you still plan on going.

 

[FrankRoams]

OK, Folks, I put together the list of who is confirmed for this trip so we have names down. I will fill in on post #1 what names I have from this thread already, make sure you're on it if you have confirmed RSVP. I will also have this list up on the FB page later today.

Rally point is the official list. Saying "In" in the thread does not supersede the Rally Point RSVP.

If you're a badge holding member of OB and not a member of the OB west FB click the link in my sig to join. You'll be prompted to enter your badge number.
