John, great idea setting up a Bradshaw Trail run.  The club did the Bradshaw in March of 2007, but there aren't any pics here on the current site that go back that far.  It was great trip, with the meet spot at Chiriaco Summit, then traveling south on Red Canyon to meet up with the Bradshaw, then east.  We turned north on Gas Line Road to find a camping spot below a mining area off of Red Cloud Mine Road.  The spot was great for the large group that we had. The next morning it was back down to the Bradshaw and continuing east.  I can show you this on a map some time if you'd like.

We had a huge group in 2007, I think it was 20 or 21 Xterras and 1 FJ Cruiser. 





On Gas Line Road.  That picture doesn't even show everyone, I didn't have a wide enough lens.  It seemed like everybody and their dog was there.



We even got in a night run on the Goat Path of Doom.

And yes Virginia, there are geocaches on the trail, so I will pick a couple for those of us who play the game, nothing too patientce trying for those of you who haven't cached in the past.  

I seem to remember a field....of cow patties.....lots, and lots, of cow patties.....
