So I am putting together the 1st ever AZXC run out to Yuma and was wondering if any of you guys wanna come out and play in deserts of Yuma with some of the AZXC crew. Its looking like we are going to do it the weekend of 10-11 of March. I havent done a pre run of the area yet but I heard about trail in the Kofa area called Big Eye Wash Trail. Its a 24 mile trail point to point with quite a few old mining sites. From what I heard from people the trail isnt too hard so it should stock friendly. Once I pre run it I'll post up pics and let everyone know what its like. Oh our campsite is gonna be off the river near Martinez Lake, so it will be a short convoy to the trail. So heres a couple of google earth screenshots of the area. So anyone down to come out to AZ?

Too bad it's not a couple weeks later! I am gonna be out in that area the first of March! We have a house at Hidden Shores Village at Imperial Dam and have been wanting to do some exploring out in that area!
Maybe presidents day weekend? I think we are going out that weekend too
-
If youre out here that weekend let me know. I am not going to be doing anything and I need to do pre run of this area. So just let me know.
-
How tough is this trail supposed to be? I am bone stock in a 2010 SE with running boards still!
-
Its suppose to moderate depending on how washed out places got. But lets put it this way. I am only 2wd so Im sure you will be ok lol
-
This run sounds interesting. Is ip anywhere near Hwy 40?

Im not too sure. Do you have a better location? I can tell ya this though. Its about 25-30 miles north of Yuma. Not sure if that helps you or not.

Thanks for posting up Jason, I am sure there will be a few joint runs between AZXC/SCCX members before CANVAZ in October. :)

I'm in for sure to be on this run. Most likely just me and Lee though. And my fishin' poles! ;D

Not a problem. Its just cool most of us are close enough where we all can do a run together.

Sounds good, atleast we know whats for dinner lol
-
Is this planned to be an all day/overnight trip?? If so, you're gonna have to count me out. If it's a half day out and back, then I could do it.
-
We're camping Sat night, but not out on the trail. So if you wanted to just run the trail you could leave really early and meetup with us Sunday morning before heading to the trail. Although we may not be up TOO early depending on the amount of adult beverages are consumed Sat night... ;D
-
3/10 to Yuma ;)
Any info on the camp site? Do we need to reserve a site?
-
I posted on the AZXC side to see if Jason(deadpilot) has scoped out the campsite or not. I'm not sure if it's a Martinez Lake pay site area or just a primitive camping free area. Should I put you down as a maybe for this trip?
-
I havent looked at the camp site yet. My plan is to go look at this weekend and maybe do a prerun of the trail. But that all depends if my X is able to be driven.
-
After some issues with the X then some stuff at home with a washer I am finally gonna be able to make it up to the camp site this week. So anyone else wanna come out to Yuma or may want to? Just trying to see how big of site I need to find us.
-
Would love to go! I work on Sundays though. :(
Take some pics from out there!
-
Looks like just me and Jason... I'll dub it the Catalina HS Class of 2003 Yuma run! lol :D
-
So I checked out the campsite and theres plently of room for people if ya wanna make the drive out here. The river/lake isnt far so those who wanna fish can. And the weather is suppose to be amazing this weekend. Highs in the upper 80's and lows in the upper 50's with maybe alittle breeze.
-
The run is this weekend and the weather is going to be amazing out here. So is there anyone coming out?
-
So do you have a phone number?
Do you have an address that can be put in a standard car gps? (Not the gps coordinates that go in handhelds but an address that can be put in a Kenwood or Pioneer or Alpine car unit.)
A meet time for Saturday morning?
Those things are all important if you want to invite us So Cal'ers. I'm interested in going but we will be driving from LA so we'd prolly have to have to leave Friday night. Any suggestions on sleeping safe Friday night around Yuma?
Or will the illegals kidnap us and hold us for ransom?
You got a lot of wild country out there and we have a long drive ahead of us...were sitting on the fence about this.
Any women coming? Besides my fiance? How many AZ rigs you got coming?
Thanks,
Mark

I'll send ya pm with my number.
But the meetup time on sat will probably be in the afternoon since coatimundi has to work tonight so he wont be coming out till later on sat morning. There is a campsite up near lake martinez that is really safe. There is alot of rv from the winter vistors we have out here right now.
There is an illegals around the campsite due to the high amount of people around that area.
No other women are coming on this run. My wife is too far along and doesnt want to go but she would if she wasnt with child.
Right now there is just one other rig from az coming.
If there is anything let me know
-
Thanks for the number. Since its a stud run and no women we will have to pass. I hope you guys have fun. Enjoy.
