OK, Are US car people gonna team up with SUV and truck people for rides? I have some pretty good camping equipment. If I can get a lift from 35th ave and bell I can bring my cabin tent<big>, 2 burner propane stove and heater, coffee pot, 2 folding chairs, cooler, and a lantern, as well as other misc shit. I have not had to buy any new stuff for the last three trips so I think I am pretty well complete for equipment. I will trade the use of my HUGE tent and WARM propane heater for the ride up there. I also make breakfast!!!
IM me to set up arrangements. my addy is 35th ave and bell road, right by the I-17. I know some of you are in the north valley here. |

If I do end up going, I can take 2-3 people with me. I have a 4 door Tacoma truck. I'll let people know when if gets closer to the time. I never know since my work schedule changes about every week.

We talked about it, and Steve is doing his own thing on this one, as I, for one, have NO intention of spending a day outside in friggin' June.

It's in Flag. Should be VERY nice, compared to Phoenix, heat wise..
My only question, "What kind of ground clearance is needed"? Meplat- |

i think that's the weekend my girlfriend and i plan on camping up near flagstaff...coincidence or ESP?
actually we'll be up there about a week, so we should be able to make it. this is a much better idea (weather-wise) than the CG DeathMatch.... |

... This might be doable for me, hopefully I'll be home by than. Exactly where will the shoot be? If I go, I'll probably be camping; like gentlemen, at Little America in Flagstaff.
By then, we should be two weeks into the monsoon season and the ground will be moist (woo hoo). Pinged to keep track |

We are still working on location. Trying to find a place big enough to compensate a good turnout. As soon as Derek gives me location I'll drive up and check it out. Then get maps e-mailed out. |

The wife said she would take me to Vegas that weekend for my birthday and she would pay for it...Or, if I want to go to the shoot, I'm on my own...
OK..A weekend at the Mirage with free gambling money, lots of free drinks laying poolside with a bunch of babes in bikini's or going shooting in a desolate area using behind the tree as a crapper...hmmmmmm...Tough decision And markm, I thought you were coming to the June shoot to sit under the canopy's with the fat guys...I'm sure one of us will share.. OK, who needs brass? IM me..I have a good and cheap source for military brass and media.. I hate reloading military brass though..Gotta swage em..sucks |

Update! I spent last weekend in the Coconino National Forest by Flagstaff. I'll be going up their for the next few weekends. I'll just post a map on this thread when I confirm site. I have two spots but would like to see if something is better. Also note most of the forest dirt roads aren't that rough. I had people in mini-vans flying by me as I watched a heard of Elk run from me. Also pray for some rain up their before the shoot. |

... Yes Carbine10, if you hear cicadas chirping on or before Saturday, July 12, it will rain in Flagstaff.
... With a little prayer, Navajo medicine men rain dancing, seasonal gulf moisture and cicadas singing we'll have that rain. |

We've been working with some of my contacts in Flag to find a place that is....
A. accessible by car B. has real trees for shade and shelter from any of the mild afternoon rains. C. has good open areas too for shooting D. isnt CLOSED due to fire danger. Problem is folks, it doesnt look too good right now. There are already fire restrictions in the forest. If we don't get some real rain and I mean like starting today, this deal probably will not happen. I'm not too pleased either. We've done some real legwork and pow-wowed with some friends up there to make it happen. We could do it at another location, but no shade, no forest, what is the point? It's cooler but still hot this time of year up there. Pray for rain. D. |

Howdy from Casa Grande.
I work for the Power company. We have a big sub station east and south of the Winona road exit. There is a cinder pit as you exit Winona east and south of IH 40. There are some houses west of there, but further than 1/4 mile. People shoot at the pit all the time. Have you checked it out? |

Azcopwannabe. If you notice in the above threads. Coconino Forest is closed for open camping. We are still looking for a site but without lots of rain. It may not happen. Pray for rain. And we'll get a date and map set. Once the rain comes. If it ever does. Possibly in August or September. I'm not giving up on this shoot yet, but we need rain up North to make it happen. |

azcopwannabee, Derek was out of town this weekend. I'll be talking with him on a date to be set now that the forest is open again. I'm sure it will be in the later part of August. I still have some areas up their to drive to find a prime spot. |

It's all about you! You..You..You..

We also need Winston's Weenie Wagon for the shoots. Without it, everyone would starve.. |

End of August? Mmmmkay. Thats better. Not too endish though.
Yeah, I'm selfish too. I leave Aug 27 for Asia. And I will be east coast Aug 9-15. Sooooo, it might work. With these rains, how do tracers sound? And uh, how rough is roughing it? I have no truck, 4wd, tent, nothin. I'm a house guy not a camper. I could probably deal with a night out and no shower. God help anyone riding back with me. |

Just came back from a weekend at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Last night it rained so much there that I had visions of building an ark. Not sure if Flag got any or not but it was dark and cloudy as we drove through Monday afternoon.

Ok..So, when are we going camping? I just bought a new heater, because I am a wuss when I camp, and I ordered a changing room type tent for my personal latrine...
The Wal-Mart here in Casa Grande is moving down the street to a Super Wal-Mart and they have lots of stuff on sale..Like I said, I got a new propane heater for $10...I'm ready to go! except for a pump for my air bed.. Hell, I can even bring a 5000w gennie if needed....I suggested to carbine10 that we go into a camp ground because they have heads, fire pits, benches, water, and some even have showers...(For you diehard anti stinkers) and after we wake up and have our coffee, we go shooting outside the campground somewhere... Last I heard, it was 75' in Flagstaff during the warmest part of the day...That would kill us for sure..We might want to stay... Who else is ready to go? I even got permission from the wife to go, I don't wanna waste this opportunity while I have it...(For those of you who know her, I will deny the above statement if you rat me out)
