I can be there early if ya need someone there Kent to hold the spot or have someone there, so it doesn't get taken by others...
Az is two days on the road for me, but I'd be able to leave when I need to, I'm not letting other stuff get in my way this year...like it seems to every year....I'll be flying solo, the wife couldn't get off of work, as her one co worker is taking the time off since her mother passed during the same time period last year....I just got home from being down in CA, paying my respects to my mother who is interned at Riverside National Cemetery.... this past weekend would have been her 90th birthday...
Let me know how I can help in any way Ken....

Ok Mark, forest lakes has a lodge, don't know how expensive it is, basically a motel. Heber has several, about 15 miles away, probably cheaper. We'll check into it, Kent. 15 miles isn't that far - 'specially several hundred miles from home  Gotta keep "The Warden" comfortable, ya know!

Kent. et al, - - - would love to have Maddy with me but will be coming alone this time. Should be on site by mid-day Friday - and may be able to get there by late Thursday if I can catch a break from the overload of events/tasks here. Needing a respite and really looking forward to being with these fine folks. Things we need to bring to help out ??
Good to see that Mark/Joy., Seafire and Brian are traveling in - do we know the plans of other way distant travelers like Miles, Randy, Kaywoodie, Ranger G. TexnCal, etc., etc. ? What's up fellas?
Watching for directions to the site.

So where and when?

OK so I did read the whole thread. A week and a half from now is the date right? I found both FS road 237 and 122 on the map. Do you know which one and where yet?
GPS Coordinates?

With the 14 day camp limit I theoretically could go today but I'm not quite ready with a trailer to set up with. I will have to establish a camp not just choose a spot, as it could be occupied by someone else anytime.
This covoid deal has impacted the forests, since April there had been record camping numbers, folks being sick of staying in, kids no school, adults no work. People are staying for more than the weekend.
Tonto forest is totally closed, that forces all those campers up on top.
I have my choices from 1 on down, they are all within a few miles of forest lakes on the north side. Just hang on a few more days.

Watching for directions to the site. I’m sorry Paul. I mentioned way early in the thread that I was only going to be able to do one summer event this year, and I was going to the Rocky Mountain National Rendezvous at Creede Colo. Leaving late this Thursday night. BE there little over a week. Pre 1840 mountain man event. Will miss seeing all you folks!!! Have fun! Bob

We're hoping Bob, and contingent, manage to stop by on their trip - at least coffee and a pee stop!

I think what I'm going to do is start a group pm when I pick a spot to give details. Just to be safe from lurkers.
Those here that say they're coming or have contacted me through other ways.
