The 12 Miles of terror is HWY 97
The South end intersects with Hwy 93 about half way from Wickenburg, AZ and Wickieup, AZ . A little south of Nothing, AZ
The North end intersects with HWY 96
To get there from Vegas, Nv.
Hwy 40 east
Hwy 93 west
Hwy 97 will be to the north east about half way from Wickenburg and Wickieup.
Its a road that almost goes to Bagdad, AZ.
Non Arizonians are going to think I'm making these town names up. LOL

Ok I ran the 12 miles last Sunday.
One Warning to keep in mind when we go. There were 3 washes with running water at the moment. The first was over an inch deep. The other two were barely water on the road. At speed you will hydro plane if not carefull. Two of the three were marked with "Ice on Road" signs; the middle one was not. Hopefully the washes will dry up by the 27th.
We will be meeting at the Gold Nugget Restaurant at 8:00 am for breakfast. And hopefully depart around 9:00 am for the fun run.
There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant.
I was able to leave my house at 8:30 and arrived in Wickenburg about 9:40. Talking the 303 it was about an hour from I-10
I was home after doing the whole route about 3:00pm
First slide into the 12 Miles of terror. Perfect time to play "Roller Coaster"
Yarnell Hill
Overlook at Yarnell Hill. "Club Photo Op Time"
Anyone else ever taken the Vulture Mine Road out of Wickenburg to the south to I-10?
Nice Run

Well after a busy week and a long Saturday, I'm not sure if I'm going tomorrow...sorry to be a poop-butt. I'm going to see how I feel after a night's sleep. If I can climb outta bed at 7AM tomorrow, then Ill be there. But if my body sleeps in, then I guess I'll have to catch you on the next fun-run :smile:
