All,

Seems like it's about time to start planning this event. October something, but not Halloween. We can have the retired guys show midweek and those of us still producing can show Friday night.

Jay has suggested Peppersauce as well as -- blasphemously in CA! -- [url="http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=641%5D"Picacho SRA. Cochise Stronghold? They seem to have a reserveable group site. Pioneer Pass -- near last years site -- is a likely candidate, also.

Near the CA border would certainly allow more CA residents to show...

If you are interested/likely to show, please post up! Include date and location preferences if you have them.

I like both Peppersuace near Tucson and Picacho on the River or maybe even Roosevelt lake.

KOFA is a another good CA/AZ area...

Lockett Meadow in Flagstaff?

Mt Graham near Safford?

Peppersauce is also fine too... I certainly can't complain about the drive.

Looks like the first weekend is probably best for me... 3rd would probably work too, as would Halloween, but it sounds like we're trying avoid that.

We will be in Canyonlands on the White Rim the last week of Oct. We are in CA with family from Nov 12 through the 24th. I am not suggesting planning around our schedule its just an FYI. If we cant make it its our loss.

I liked KOFA a lot when I was there last year, but I'm open to new places. With enough time to plan, just about any dates work for me.

Scott,

KOFA is one of the spots that we'd really like to get to and we should (Lord willing and the creek don't rise) be in the area in late October of '09. Picacho is good too.

Happy Trails!

There is a nice spot in Happy Valley on the back side of the Rincons near the Turkey Creek trail head.I also like Pioneer Pass in the Pinal Mts.There is a camp below the pass that would fit a good sized group.A little elevation would be nice.It is still mighty warm in October

Scott,
How does Sunday at noon work? It its good PM me an address and phone #.

[ScottBailey]

Jay,

PM'd you and Skeeter, too.

ALL:

My preference is to keep my travel time under 4 hours. That's pretty much most places in southern AZ.

...and unless we get much input from interested parties in CA, lets go for Pioneer Pass in the Pinals.
