[Kileyhaz]

RSVP list is now up to date with the latest information I have in both the AA and TAC threads as well as my PM box.

Important Clarification
At this time Multicam to Tan and ACU/ABU/ATAC map to green.  If you signed up under a color with a different understanding of the mapping please let me know so we can get your name in the right silo.

We could use some more green players if people are still thinking of attending.  We will shuffle the undecided players to even out the gaps where we can but if we have too large of a gap come game day we may have to make some trades to get it close.

I'll try to make it out to where Sasco Rd crosses the Santa Cruz and get a report on the water before the even and post it up.  However, it is advised that you come in a vehicle that can cross the river or square your gear away in such a manner that you could hitch a ride from the river in case in it unexpectedly high (i.e. don't bring 5 Tupperware totes of spare parts).

Thanks for the support so far everyone, I'm getting really excited.

The only time ive crossed a river was in Oregon trail. (and they all turned out badly) Any tips on how much ground clearance the vehicle should have?

You're probably going to want something other then your camry.

I've crossed it in an 03 mustang before, however that was the lowest Ive ever seen the water. If you can see the road through the wash clearly then your probobly ok.

[Rockit]

I've crossed it in small sedans and seen small sedans drown in it.

[Kileyhaz]

Totally depends on the water level of the Santa Cruz and wether or not the farmer upstream are irrigating fields.  For stalker I saw a small car (like Geo Metro size) make it through with no issue but I've also killed a 4x4 size truck in it as well.

I'll get some info before the game and post it here but its important that everyone make an assessment for themselves when they arrive at the crossing point.  If it looks too deep then park your car and hitch a ride or walk in (2 miles).  If it looks ok then go slow, its much cheaper and easier for us to pull a stuck car out of the water then it is for you to gun it through and suck water into your engine.  In that case we are pulling a dead car out of the water and your out the cost of a car.

Anyone carpooling from the valley can pick me up in chandler. i would really love too attend this game. also about the wash guys. it really depends on the depth. when i was there for the last red sleigh. it think it was up at 4 feet in the morning. but on the way back the Wash was really deep. Remember the guys Cars hydroplaning or something on the water then his engine went dead.

So will there be a caravan or something to help those of us with cars only cross the river?

2 from CT will be in attendance for sure, working on others.  We can go green or tan, put us where you need us and we'll show up in the appropriate color
