October ROTM - Casner Trail & Camping

crawlAZ · Oct 11, 2017

Thanks @Clunky @Pitch ... after team huddle last night looks like we will try to pull the kids from class and get to camp via Flagstaff Friday and before sun down.

Saddletramp · Oct 11, 2017

Eric, there will be a few of us up there already. Alvis and Abigail are probably heading up in the afternoon. @Abigail or @Cruddz can you post up you depart time and possibly caravan with @crawlAZ if your schedules permit?

Weather is going to be perfect.

@Dimples and I are aiming to leave around 3pm if he can get out of work early (hoping to arrive there before dark), but it may not be until 4pm. Anyone is welcome to join us and probably get lost, as my offline maps didn't work last time, hoping my memory maps are more reliable. PM me if interested. (Don't worry, we won't actually get ~~too~~ lost)

I am never lost, I am just on a new adventure.

I'll aim to meet up with you guys, so will leave Tucson around 1:30-2pm.

We will be on the typical ham freq if you have comms 146.460mhz

Friday caravan is meeting at the Chevron east off Carefree Hwy around 2:30pm.

So far I think we'll have @Dimples, @D_Web, @crawlAZ, and me. Anyone else planning to tag along please PM me your number.

Thanks Eric but I'm good. Jack-in-the-Box less than a mile away here in valley. So glad I'm here to enjoy the mid nineties days. I think of all the firewood I'm saving by not having a morning fire in the stove for overnight thirties.

Originally planned on heading over to camp for a few days but wasn't meant to be. Doctor's appointment next week and will find out if my wife can go back up the 7,000' (seriously doubt it) or if I'll be making a another day trip picking up more stuff. Have a great time and those from the valley enjoy the cool weather.

Dissent · Oct 14, 2017

We have 4x trucks out front of Safeway, any ETA on the stragglers?

ftbshop · Oct 14, 2017

I'm getting ready to head down from Flag to the camping spot. Probably just a day trip, hang out for a few hours.

Kruiser Kat · Oct 14, 2017

We had a great trail today with spectacular views! Thanks to @brices123 for organizing this and thanks to @Saddletramp for stepping in as trail leader. Great to meet everybody today!

D_Web · Oct 15, 2017

Great weekend with some top company. Thanks again to all.

For those wondering what the bridge on forest road 231 looks like. Shouldn't be too long.

Well it appears that I'm not going to make the camping portion of this ROTM. The kid decided to find a date for Homecoming and apparently, taking pics of him and his date for about 30 min before they split are more important than living homeless in the woods for a day or two.. smh...

Ha

Saddletramp · Oct 16, 2017

We had a total of 7 trucks on the run, including our lone diesel 80. In all a great time.
The leader took a few wrong turns but we ended up where we were supposed to, the camping crew was great as always plus @ftbshop and @Pitch stopped in to check on the crew.

Special thanks to @Pitch who stopped to put out an abandoned campfire fully burning away, the stupidity of people who think it is ok to leave a burning campfire leaves me dumbfounded and angry.
