East of Phoenix Rider's Group

That sounds like a good time. Got room for a noob?

Wayfar,

Well since I am a noob as well you are more than welcome.


Bill

Cool, I'm in.

Hey Bill, If my shoulder that I banged up yesterday feels better I'll meet you guys at Flor. Kelv. Hwy. Let you know later in week. Wade

Wade,

Good to hear from you and sorry about the shoulder. If you decide to go I will PM you my cell number and you can call when you get to Florence.


Bill

Just bumping this up for anyone this is intrested in joing us.

I don't know which way you guys are headed but I've always wanted to try this road out to Coolidge Dam.

Looks like fun.

You guys enjoy the ride.

Julio,

I was looking at that myself. Do you know if you need any special permits for the reservation and have you any information on how difficult it is?

Thanks
Bill

If you stay on marked roads there's no permits needed unless you're camping.

I have no idea how difficult that route is but give it a shot and let us know.

if it gets too snotty you could always back track and head towards Globe.

This would make a nice day's loop.

hmm...according to this you do need a permit.

The closest one to the route would be the Apache Gold Casino.
I've visited the dam (took Coolidge Dam Rd. all the way) and I didn't have a permit. Maybe I just got lucky.

I road this today and saw the strangest thing. I stopped for a snack right where the dirt meets pavement, on the east end. On the south side of the road, on top of a low saguaro arm, there was a dead coyote pup. I'm guessing a large bird deposited it there maybe. If you guys end up going that way, see if it is still there.

I'm up for a run to the dam but can't do it this weekend...those routes look interesting...

They try and make this harder than it needs to be. Their website is very out of date. Apache Gold does not sell permits anymore. The closest I can find in the Circle K in Globe. $10.00 per person.

I am not sure I want see this or not but now that I know it's there I will

It appears a permit is not required on Coolidge Dam Rd though.

We can check things out here since we planned on visiting San Carlos anyway.

Yea, Well

Mi aerodeslizador está lleno de anguilas

Hey fellas, I just joined here (this is my first post) and I'm from Mesa, so I guess I fall into this thread. I'm riding an sv650 right now until I get something more off road friendly, but for the time being I'm planning on romping it as hard as possible.

HeyBill, Where and what time can I meet you guys in florence.

Welcome Aboard

Wade,

How about the Chevron at around 10:30 - 10:45
