Summer flagstaff camping GTG (Whitehorse Lake 08-07-09)

[DESERTAV]

What do you guys think about a camping GTG up north?



(edit: added location and date)

[gargoyleman]

Name the date and the place and lets get it put together.

Donna, Eric and Nick and I went to a real nice spot up by Munds park a couple years back.

Glen

[ItsStopher]

Say when..... So we can work on getting time off 

[amd1900mp]

All ears here.. 

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

We will see if we can make this one. It will depend on practice. We haven't been "camping" in a while.  Would love to go if we can. We hope others will take the opportunity to go camping this year since the previous ones did not pan out so well.

Weekends in July
04/05 **
11/12 **
18/19
25/26 **
Any takers?

Or do we want to try a weekend in august.

** Just found out we cannot make  these weekend for sure. Not practice related.

All other weekends for us are still depending on practice. The club should go with majority available to attend for a weekend. We have a lot of stuff going on with practice this summer getting ready for a tournament in september. But will try to make whatever weekend is decided if we can.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Anybody who would likes to hit the OHV trails when camping, we have friends of ours that are selling 2 (2006) Red Cat 150cc dirt bikes. Let me know if you know of anybody interested and I can forward you details.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

August would be the better month for me

What weekends does everyone have available?

I heard we may not be having a practice on the aug 22/33 weekend.

[rangercliff]

Camping sounds great! I've been wanting to go for a while now! Let us know when you nail down a date! We'll be there if we can!

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Camping sounds great! I've been wanting to go for a while now! Let us know when you nail down a date! We'll be there if we can!

Let us know what dates work for you. Do you have any dates you guys are available to go camping?

We are trying to reach out to the ones that couldn't make it in the past to give them a chance to go.

[Star Chaser]

We have 2 - 2007 Quads for sale, they are Polaris Trail Boss 330cc .They are both red and have racks on the front and back. And a 14 foot trailer for sale. Asking price is $ 5,000. obo.

Cindy

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Cindy, Don't forget to send me that email.

So want date are we trying for? Where did everyone else go.?

[Star Chaser]

Donna, Can't find an email address that will work (having issues again). Send me a regular email and that will allow me to send the pics of the quads and trailer.

Thanks,  Cindy

[gargoyleman]

Ed what weekend is good for you ?
Lets try and get a place and date so we can start making definite plans and make arrangements if need be.
I am good for most any weekend in Augast.

Glen

[gargoyleman]

Hello ?

Ed have you picked a weekend yet ?

Glen

[Star Chaser]

I talked to Michael about going camping with  everyone and he said OK. Now if we can find a place and date, so I can tell Michael where everyone is going.

            Cindy

[rangercliff]

Well we are going camping this weekend in Williams at Dogtown Lake. I'll let you know how it is if you want to go there in August. I am now unemployed, so just about any weekend works until I find work again! Luckily Eric still has a job. Let us know when you all can put together a date. If anyone wants to come up to Williams and camp with us this weekend, we'd love to have ya!

[gargoyleman]

I wish I did not have school Saturday or I would meet you up there. 
Dogtown Lake is an awesome place and the weather will be great this weekend..

That area would be good for the group if we ever get this put together...ED are you out there
.
Glen

[DESERTAV]

Hello ?

Ed have you picked a weekend yet ?

Glen

Sorry I have busy with work and have not checked the thread in a few days. I am not sure about my august schedule so just set a date and I will try to  plan my stuff to make the trip.What ever day is best for everyone will be ok with me.

[gargoyleman]

Since its really hot down here and no one has came to the pavillions GTGs I am going to suggest that we do the camping GTG friday july 31st - Aug. 2

Do we need a camp ground with hook-ups or do we want to rough it in the woods?
I would prefer we do this GTG neer or at a lake up north so the kids and anyone else that wants to can fish.

Dogtown, white horse, Mormon lake, Ashurst....

Open to suggestions Please...

Glen

[ItsStopher]

hook-ups 

[Star Chaser]

The dates sound great to us, Just let us know where. Hook ups or no hook ups, either way it works for us. Like swimming.

         Cindy

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Hook ups or no hook ups are fine with us if we can go. Not sure if we would tent or rv it. We won't know until last minute if we can make it or not. We are waiting on a reply for approval (or not) for another rescue addition to our family. If approved, we have to go up on a weekend to meet him and see if he gets along with the rest of the gang. Depends on how that goes and with flyball practice. They canceled practice this weekend due to the extreme heat warning. And they moved practice start times on sundays up 2 hours also because of the heat.

Rangercliff, how was Williams this past weekend?

[rangercliff]

Well, we had a good time at Dogtown Lake. I think that maybe Whitehorse would be better though. We couldn't camp close to the lake, no one was catching any fish just crawdads. At Whitehorse, we may be able to camp closer to the lake. We paid $18/night also. The restrooms are non-flushing and no lights in them either, but I guess if you have an RV you don't need them. It is really gorgeous up there either way.

[rangercliff]

Have we pinned down a weekend yet? We are available any weekend. I'm not working and Eric is off every weekend, so pick the weekend and we'll be there! So far we don't have any plans for August. Eric is in Kansas this week, but will be home Fri. night. He has training for work!

[gargoyleman]

I originaly suggested the weekend of 31-2, but Now am thinking Aug, 7,8,9 would be better.

What do you guys think ?

Glen

[rangercliff]

Sounds good! Any weekend will work for us.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Our adoption was approved and we are going to meet the rescue dog this weekend. If things go well, we will be bringing him home with us. After that we will take it from there to see how things go and let you know if we think we can make whatever weekend is decided on.

[Star Chaser]

Aug. 7-8-9 works better for us.

   Cindy

[cdsmorron32]

Is this gtg very likely to happen?

[gargoyleman]

I am going to whitehorse lake the 7-9 and any and all are welcome to join in on the fun , fishing, quad rideing and what ever else.

So far it looks like we have 2 for sures, 2 maybes...

Any other takers please post up.

I am going to start a new thread with directions, camping info and more as soon as I can get time to gather all the links and info, hopfully by tomorrow night at the latest.

Glen

[rangercliff]

Sounds like a plan! The 7-9th will work. Let me talk to Eric about it so we can confirm! I am so ready to get out of here! 120 degree weather sucks!

[Star Chaser]

Whitehorse Lake? Where's that?  Michael's mom goes home 7/25 so going to Vegas 7/26 will be back on line Wed. evening.

              Cindy

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Whitehorse lake is a little south of william, az. It is a nice place. We stayed there last year.

We did not end up with the rescue dog. The foster mom changed her mind and adopted him.

We will still see if we can make this camping gtg. Eric was talking about if we can go, going with the tent, rhino and of course dogs in tow. There were a lot of trails in the area for riding.

Glen are you guys taking the quads?

[Star Chaser]

talk to everyone when we get back.

              Cindy

[gargoyleman]

If I can get time to get tags and stickers I am planing on takeing the quads...

Glen

[rangercliff]

You can count us in! Not sure if we are gonna bring the quad or not though! Maybe we can meet up someplace in Williams and go to the campground together.

[gargoyleman]

Here is the link to lake info and directions to get there.
I will be heading up early friday if anyone wants to run with me.

http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/kai/recreation/fishing/whitehorse.shtml

Glen

[rangercliff]

Eric has a DR. appt. that morning at 9:30, we will head up after that. Glen, I have your cell# if we need to call you. Who knows, maybe well get there around the same time!

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Are the plans to stay at the campground or a dispersed area near the campground?

[gargoyleman]

I am thinking "dispersed area" because I don't think we can hold spots in the camp ground for people..
I believe its first come first serve and weekends are busy up there.
I will be on ferlow that hole week so I may go up on Wednesday or Thursday.

Glen

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Dispersed is fine with us. It will also cut down on the expenses for the weekend not having to pay a nightly fee. How will we find where you are?

[amd1900mp]

Todd, Aaron and maybe TJ are in.. Darla has to work.

I will be leaving Friday after work returning Sunday after breakfast.

Looking forward to hanging with everyone that can make it!

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

We are still looking good at being able to make it. I took friday off from work to be ready when Eric gets out. We hope to be leaving between 12-2pm and coming back sunday too. We will probably be taking the tent. Eric is going to get our ohv sticker next week. If that goes fine, we will be bringing the rhino. We are also bringing the dogs.

We will be missing practice that weekend but we have gone every week since march. So that's not bad to only miss one.

We invited two other friends but not sure if they are going yet or not. Anybody else interested in going, here's your chance to get out of the 115 degree heat and enjoy the cooler weather. We are really looking forward to going.

[rangercliff]

We will be tenting it too and bringing our dog also! We will probably get out of here around 11:00 or so and get to Williams about 1:30, so be on the look out for us! Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

[DESERTAV]

Whitehorse Lake? Where's that?  Michael's mom goes home 7/25 so going to Vegas 7/26 will be back on line Wed. evening.

              Cindy

I was there too Cindy .. I saw Micheal and tried to get his attn but he kept walking and I lost hi m in the crowd.

[DESERTAV]

I have the in-laws coming in that weekend for 2 weeks so im not sure what the plans are yet.I will see if we can all make a fun trip out of it.

[gargoyleman]

I have some A frame signs I will put out with the Az Av logos on them. Just hope it dont rain or the ink will wash off.

Glen

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

You know it always rains whenever we go camping.  So look for signs along cr-73?

We will be bringing a Mercedes with us this weekend too. 

We will be going for sure. Our goal is to still leave town sometime between 12-2pm on friday. Lets get a list going. We will start with our names, copy the name list and add yours in a new post as we go.

      Cindy

[amd1900mp]

Don't quote me but I believe we are camping in a no fee area..

[ItsStopher]

I just wish it was a little lot closer 

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

I thought that was how aliens spelled it. 

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

      Cindy

We will be collecting $10 from each one of you prior to entering the camping spot.  Just kidding. 

Yes, we are planning to camp outside the camp ground which is dispersed camping. There are no fees usually for dispersed camping.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Glen, Will you be taking Davenport hill rd to access fr109 or are you taking 73 and working your way over? Did you get the quads reg? What channel on the radio, 7 ?

[rangercliff]

We won't have any room for fire wood, Is anyone else going to be able to bring some?  Just thought I'd mention this so we aren't stuck int the dark and cold nights!

[rangercliff]

Hey, when is everyone planning to leave? We will be leaving Havasu about 10:30 a.m. or 11:00 which should get us to the campground around 1:30.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

We won't have any room for fire wood, Is anyone else going to be able to bring some?  Just thought I'd mention this so we aren't stuck int the dark and cold nights!

We don't have any firewood left at home but Eric usually scouts out for wood on the rhino. He can haul it back to camp in the rear bed of the rhino.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Hey, when is everyone planning to leave? We will be leaving Havasu about 10:30 a.m. or 11:00 which should get us to the campground around 1:30.

For us, it depends on when Eric gets out of work. I am trying to be packed and ready to go as soon as he gets home. Estimated hopefully between 12-2pm.

[Star Chaser]

I have a little bit of firewood, that I will bring, also a fire pit. I'm hoping Michael gets to leave early. If not, we will be getting out of here about 4 pm. Just need to finish loading up.

           Cindy

[gargoyleman]

loading up now and hope to be on the road up there by 9 AM.

Watch for the AZ AVs signs on the side of the road

See you there 

Glen

[DESERTAV]

God, I wish I could make it low temps with good friends...what could be better. Oh yea a cold beer in both hands!

[rangercliff]

See you all later!!! Can't wait to get out of this heat!

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Are we there yet?


Drive Safe everyone. See you up there.

[rangercliff]

Well we made it home! It was so nice to get together with you all again! We had a great time and are looking forward to October! I'll post pics as soon as I can! Thanks Glen for being such a great host and making all the food you did for us! Yum!

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

A big thanks to Glen for putting this camping trip together. We had a great time and we are glad that more people showed up this year. It was a nice weekend, cooler weather, no rain at all. We will try to get our pics posted by this next weekend.

[gargoyleman]

Nick Snoopy and I made it home safe and sound.

Thanks to all that came out and shared in the good time 

It was my pleasure to cook for you all, that is just something I enjoy doing.

Looking forward to the next camp out 

I also will work on getting pics up soon.

Glen

[Star Chaser]

We had an absolute blast, it was so pretty up there. It was really nice getting out of the heat into cooler weather.  Thank you Glen for the breakfast. Sharon I'm looking forward to being in the parade in Oct.  I can't wait until Sept 12 for the run from the heat. I hope we can get more people to join us for the day. Anyway I think a good time was had by all.

           Cindy

[amd1900mp]

Thanks everyone!

The fire was awesome. And Eric did not sent Glen or anyone else on fire this time. 
We were also pretty warm with zero rated bags.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

When are we going camping again??

       Cindy

We are planning on going next weekend (21-23) near the flagstaff area. We are going to spend most of saturday at the event linked below. Plus we have plans to meet up with someone we know working one of the rescue booths there.

http://rescueroundup.com/

We will probably be taking the trailer. No rhino this time but with dogs in tow. We don't know what area yet but it will be another dispersed area. If anyone else is interested in going, let us know and we can try to work something out.

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

Sorry, Some pics repeated! Don't know what happened, but I'll try to get new ones posted.

Looking forward to seeing the pics of the horses and the cabin since I missed taking my camera on that ride.

Boy, I miss camping. We didn't get to go as much this year as previous years.
