A must do on my list, since I haven't done it yet (except the Gold Bar part), is the Poison spider/Golden spike/Gold Bar combo. It will probably require an early start, but that's fine by me. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I've done both ends but not Golden Spike (except for the part from the Rim to the Golden Crack), so it's on my list, too.
I'm kind of tempted to try Behind the Rocks again - last time my engine died on the climb up White Knuckle Hill, but now I think I've got the float level dialed in better; also, we only did half of it. Then again, I might just be pushing my luck too far.
I'm not sure I'll want to do Hell's Revenge this time; been on the regular stuff twice, but I don't think the Lowider has graduated to Escalator or Hot Tubs.
Looking at the map, I think Steel Bender sounds good for Friday, assuming the BBQ is in the Old City Park again; that trail would have the advantage (besides the fact that I haven't done it and want to) that it comes out in Spanish Valley - ought to be a short way to the BBQ (which probably means I don't have to listen to more complaints that I only drive fast when I'm hungry!). Another one south of town that caught my eye was Flat Iron Mesa. Anyways, just some thoughts on 'keeping-it-close-to-the-BBQ' trails for Friday /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
