05BluePearlGT Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Anybody wanna cruise to a ghost town (and hit some twisties)? Im thinking Next Saturday 4/29/06, maybe meet up around 9 or 10, at the same spot if thats cool? I-17 and Cactus, and Forced Air Technologues I think it was called? Or at the I-17 and Bell and the Park and Ride. I feel like doing some exploring, and my son will have a blast. So if anybody wants to bring their kids, this may be a more enternaining cruise for them. Here are a couple links to some within a couple hours of here. Some feedback on where anybody may want to go (if anybody, lol), would be cool. Here is a link to a nice one, with some twisties from what it looks like, on the way up. There is a 6 dollar entrance fee to this one though.\/ \/ \/ http://www.cyclerides.com/rides/dayrides/vulture/vulturemine.htm http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/vulturecity.html Here are some other ones, that have no entrance fee. All the blue dots are different ones around.\/ \/ \/ http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/azmaricopa.html Here are some good LOOKING ones. Ive never been to any of these \/ \/ \/ http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/sunflower.html http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/campmcdowell.html (looks ok) There is one that says Jeep trails only, 4 miles south of lake pleasant, not too far. Im not sure if our Subys are high enough to clear some of it......I may try it out today or tomorrow. If anybody is down next weekend, or any other time, let me know. I love exploring crap with my kids. Plus we should get some off roading, and some twisties. Should be a pretty good time. Chris PS: if anybody wants to post a link on NASIOC, that would be cool. I dont go on there too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05BluePearlGT Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Cool. Ill see you there. Im thinking the ghost town may be the best. Its a shorter drive too, and Ive had a VERY long weekend. Its probably about 2-3 hrs less of driving time. Ill see you all there. At 10 am....Is that time still good for you all. Im planning on 10. Ill try to get a few printouts of directions so at least another person will know the way to go. See you all tomorrow! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APMatt Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Which trip are you thinking of? This sounds like fun. Who's planning on making it? 10 sounds fine. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Ghost town should have better twisties, since the lava tubes have none. But they have dirt roads for about 5 miles each way. We can also go a little more north of wickenburg, and head up the mountain for some more twisties. Just looks like a better ride, and a faster trip. The last time I went to the lava tubes, I was out of town for about 10+hrs. that was with some meals and breaks, though. Its about 5 or 10 minutes west of SnowBowl. Ill print a couple sets of directions up for both, and we can decide when we meet up what sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpete77 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Sorry I couldn't make it. I got sick, couldn't even get into Tempe for the Flugtag. Hope you all had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
