Dates are firm - Sunday, 8/28- Saturday, 9/3. Those able to get to the area on Saturday 8/27 can enjoy a bonus campout on night Minus 1 at Alstrom Point overlooking Lake Powell. This camp will actually be in Utah. Directions will be provided to participants in the itinerary (still under development)
We'll officially start the run on the 28th at high noon in the parking lot of the only grocery store in town in Kanab, UT. Itinerary to follow.
What kind of rig? A stock rig should be able to do pretty much everything unless we get some very inclement weather, which is entirely likely during Arizona's Monsoon season. Come prepared for rain. We'll almost certainly see some. Mud is our most likely challenge from a wheeling perspective.
Highlights to look forward to: Mile Zero of the Arizona Trail, Toroweap, Locust Point, Point Sublime, East Rim Trail, etc. We'll get a great tour of the area. Bring gas. 10-15 gallons extra minimum. Services available on the route will be minimal with Kanab being the closest town of any size that might have a parts store.
