I might do this hike if it was a 4 day-er... you all are nutz! But I :worthy: to you for even contemplating it, much less completing it in one day. I need lots of :wlift: and then I might be approaching your league.

Just picked up this bad boy yesterday. 192 lumens! At 6.8 oz its not exactly light but dang is it bright! Supposedly it can spot a cairn at 225 meters away.

[joebartels]

That settles it, you're committed now

Should we form a another group for the HAZ-SAR team? Seriously, though... if anyone thinks it'd be helpful to set up a water station at one of the TH's or trail intersections, I'm sure a there's a few of us that might be willing to assist if given the preferred locations and time. Also, if HAZ wants to capitalize on the insanity-- a press release might get some eyes on the site. Just sayin'... ;)

There will be water at Reavis, the problem is that it is 2/3rds of the way from Peralta, rather than being nicely located at the halfway point. I'm hoping for a wet fall so that either Rogers Canyon or the creek along Froggy is flowing. There may be water off-trail in Froggy, but as Harvey said - don't hike towards water...hike from it.

Te-wa's plan to setup a bail-out option at Woodbury is a darn good one IMO, you may want to coordinate with him.

[Vaporman]

LoL, you guys are all nutz! Where do I sign? I might be in Aravaipa Canyon that Thanksgiving weekend though...

[wooozie]

Sorry I have to cancel this, will definiatley watch you guys and jump on the next long one... Don't know who is going to keep you entertained out there though

[tibber]

Rose, good to see you on the site.

Hope to see you post some trip reports and photos in the future.

@wooozie
too bad....well at least I know my Coyotes hat will be safe this trip. Rose tried to steal it on Mazzy Peak and then said she wouldn't give it back to me unless I carried her pack. [-X

An update from the overnight backpack option side of things. I also have this trip posted at ABC as an overnighter. So far there are 7 people signed up. That list includes at least 3 people from this community: Drewboy, AZMike and Al_HikesAZ. From the shuttle logistics point of view it looks (so far) like a couple of cars will be necessary. I'm still planning on a Reavis camp day 1 unless more rains hit. Great suggestion Joe on Randolph - that really simplifies the route. I expect we'll be seeing some of the single day hikers at Reavis about the time we are finishing up our morning coffee. :wlift:

[te_wa]

omg how did you talk Al into this one?
you mustve told him there would be good chocolate and herradura angeritas

Joe?

Aug. 26 -Brutal shuttle.
I'd suggest heading down Randolph Canyon from the JF vs. the Woodbury if you are using the southern route.

[drewboy]

Oops! Sorry Kurt. Guess I better read threads more carefully next time. :guilty:

I've never done Randolph before, am looking forward to checking it out.

I was jokin' Andy.......

Yep - Randolph is a nice variation and I would suspect that there will be a pool or two left in there as well; right around 33 25 11 x 111 14 20.
The portion of Randolph immediately upstream of the Red Tanks turn-off is especially pretty, and you'll see where the Red Tanks trail gets its name.

[drewboy]

Well OK then, but you're still the man :worthy:

Are you considering coming along on this little adventure Kurt?

Yep...... Joe is getting a little too God-like around here - we need to help him stay grounded. ;)

Andy, regrettably (to a degree) I'll be in Aravaipa that W/E (scheduled 4 mos. ago).
My hiking partner, Tim and I hiked a trans-Sups from Reevis School to FW about 8 years ago and used Randolph to the Red Tanks on our adventure. We hiked after the early rains of spring and could have done the trip with just a coffee cup for water - it was everywhere (Randolph was even a running stream)!
We again used Randolph on the last E-W trans-Sups adventure, with Chris, Wally, Squirrel-Mike, Bonnie and others. I never look forward to hiking Red Tanks - be sure that you are not at the Red Tanks/Labarge canyon intersection in the dark - you'll be there a while.

Ask Joe what "hikes" he did Saturday in the Grand Canyon? ;)

[hikeaz]

He loves climbing and heights in general..... anywhere he can hang his @$$ off 2000' + of vertical ......... hmmmm... how about a hint or two.....

[BobP]

That was Friday...he "hiked" pavement by himself Sat :whistle: while we did s.kaibab tonto BA.

[hikeaz]

Well... he likes off-trail hiking... So, technically, I guess that 'pavement' is off-trail.
Was there a vehicle malfunction involved....?
