Jim. Sorry to hear that you've been under the weather. We'll see you at the summer gathering.

Gentlemen, looks like I will not make it this year. Between the wife and myself, a couple of issues that will keep me away. Nothing serious, but things that have to be taken care of. I hope that all have a wonderful and safe time. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Same news from me. I am deeply disappointed.
I wonder when I talk to my wife if she hears me like Lucy heard Ricky Ricardo: "Honey! You got a lot o'splainin to do."

To my fellow Tonto Basin Veterans,
I, too, wish you all the best. Warmest wishes to those unable to attend this year, and glad tidings to those brave souls who will be there.
Life has conspired against me this year. Sometimes one can't force the alignment of the stars. Just when I thought I could make it happen, bad weather, storm damage, and now a cold and flu-bug have eliminated any chance. I am so clogged and stuffed up right now I can hardly talk. Getting too cold and wet is what did me in, I think, so stay dry and warm, y'all.
So, I will be there in spirit, and I will raise an Amarulla toast to my friends at the Campfire, and hope to make it next year.

OK folks, here's the bad news. 8" of snow in Payson today. All the roads are forecast closed. More snow coming in Thursday and Friday. 36" forecast for Payson Thursday night. Anyone not coming from Phx is going to get stuck. Pretty much every highway will be closed. 87 might even be closed at Fountain Hills. Highs of 45 are not going to be fun to camp in etc. Kent and I talked today and decided that there is really no reason to try and do this with the weather.
The get together/campout/ shootout is hereby canceled. Wish it weren't true but it is. I hope everyone reads this. I will try to reach out to some of you that are traveling.

Will miss seeing everyone, but I wasn't looking forward to another snowy, wintry outing again--especially after the grandkids elk hunt the last week of December.
Hope to see everyone at Armijo Springs!

Well there goes our big chance to have a snowball fight...
Now, on the realistic end...
hope this finds everyone who was going to come doing well, and your families the same.
and to all of our friends with the weather holding them down with illnesses, I sure hope you
each get better real soon.
A shout out to Milo also....hope you get better real soon also Milo.. I'm doing better this winter than I
have been doing in a long time. The house that we moved to, that the wife bought as she wanted, doesn't
have the mold in it like the old house did... which was in the ventilation system and under the house.
Didn't seem to bother my wife and son, but it sure was giving me respiratory challenges all winter, and every
winter for the last 10 years or more...
Will miss all you guys, but I know that there should be no snow in Arizona this summer.
Best regards to everyone.
cheers

To all the folks with heath stuff going on, prayers offered up.

Well, it was a hard decision but besides the roads most likely being closed over mt Ord plus anything north, I doubt we could get into camp on the dirt road, I've hunted those roads and when they get muddy you don't drive them you slide them... and that's on the flats.
Biggest winter storm in over 10 years, forest lakes is expecting 5 ft.

Drove across the border last evening and ate at the ponderosa steak house, took over an hour coming back across the border, it was a holiday, buncha az plates and even a montana... party animals I guess.

Good deal calling it early. Now I'll have to go to the Crossroads show on Saturday and figure out who's wearing the stupidest t-shirt.
