    So far it looks like this weekend I'm free cause my interview went well but didn't say anything about this weekend so it's whenever you're free. Might have a friend with me but I'll have her apply for the bulldog permit too.

    Cool the more the merrier... I'll have a passenger since my dad hasn't applied for his permit... So I'm borrowing his snatch rope just in case. How's 10am Saturday sound? Start at the Bush Highway entrance.

    I'm definitely down. I've never been there. I'm in Gilbert so we can meet there or meet somewhere near there and make the drive to the spot. I'll look up directions soon too so I know where I'm going.

    I'll be picking my dad up in Gilbert so it's just as easy to meet before heading out. Pick a meeting place and we will roll out from there.

    Doesn't have to be the exact location but where abouts are you picking up your dad we can meet close to there.

    He lives just off McQueen so I guess we could meet at the QT just North of Baseline on Mesa Dr. That way we can top off if need be.

    That works for me. Are you wanting to be there earlier so we can be at the trail at 10 or do you wanna meet at the QT at 10.

    I'm in Gilbert, too. I did the entire Schnebly Hill Trail from Sedona all the way to the I-17. It's pretty easy, but it's very rough and IMG_20170618_102208.jpg IMG_20170618_113117.jpg there are parts that will put your rock rails to the test. I have the desert hawk and it looks like in your pic you have aftermarket rails. Once you get to do it though, plan about 2 hours, whether you go all the way through, or halfway up and back.

    How far into the trail did you get? I got through the first couple obstacles then chickened out and turned around and went back lol. I didn't want to get in a spot I couldn't get out of. I looked anywhere but couldn't find anyone who had do e it in a Renegade or comprable 4x4

    I went most of the way in broken arrow. Just decided to turn around and come home not because it got too crazy just felt like coming back. I was about an hour into the trail.

    Yeah... But on a more positive note, if we do get in a pickle... We have something with more power to pull us out.

    Hey, so I was wondering if I would be okay if tagged along. I've been looking for some trails close to home and figured this may be a perfect opportunity
