Mt Humphrey's

[evenstar]

Yeah, I checked out 151 yesterday. I'll go in there Wednesday and move to the Humphrey's TH parking lot Friday. Folks can look for a 24' Winnebago Chalet with a burgandy colored Jeep attached to it or parked next to it. And no, paintninaz, I ain't painted it pink and it ain't cute! (Tho' Hooli is. Cute, that is, not painted pink! And yeah Valet2, you do have to qualify everything you post here 'cause they're all out to get ya! ) I'll have the dogs in the MH, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to limit folks coming in; these guys get out and they'll go hunting and be hell to catch! If ya want coffee, bring a cup; it'll be instant and I'll have to run the generator to heat the water if folks can stand the noise.

Don't forget Head Cat Herder too. That FR 151 sounds like the place for the AZH gathering for Friday night. Hopefully I'll have the camper on the goat hauler by then.

So how about it folks? Camping on FR 151?
Maybe Hooli could go up and park a few goats to save us some spaces?
We hike up the mountain early Saturday, head back for more camping Saturday evening? Head back to town Sunday>

Glad to hear SandeJ is going too. Who else?

Get in here,

We are definately in. Our plan is to head up to the Hart Prairie Road on Friday, with an expected arrival around 6:30-7 pm. Cell# is 480-860-2774. White Honda Passport 4x4 w/ AZH rear plate holder.

Best camp spots on FS 151 are both before and after the large prairie clearing which is about 3 miles in. BTW, we recommend sunscreen, the sun is real intense at 12k (DAMHIKT).

DPS is running radar at the usual places: just before SR 69 turnoff to Prescott, at the bottom of the downgrade into Camp Verde, and behind trees in the median near the Orme/Dugas turnoff.

Check out KTAR 620 on the way out of town for traffic reports, last Saturday am there was a backup from Anthem back to the 101 from a rollover. If you get in one of these, you can exit on Carefree Highway and go east to 7th Street. Turn north here, and it will take you to New River Road and I-17 at New River. Don't stop at the Shangri-La Nudist Camp along this route, Hoolie hangs out there

OK, I'll find a good spot on FR 151 and you all can look for the motorhome there Friday night. I'll wait 'til Saturday a.m. to move it to Humphrey's.

Hello all, here is the Humphreys Peak report i said i'd give you- I just went up this Saturday. The trail is nearly ice free. There was only 2 small spots of ice. The weather was very nice as well. You all will have a wonderful trip heading up the mountain.

Something to take note on, very important!
After you have made it into Flagstaff DO NOT take Humphreys street to get to Fort Valley Rd (hwy 180) There is road construction and it is closed off. Instead take San Francisco north to Forest Ave. Then take a left on Forest, head down the hill and take a right on Fort Valley Rd (Hwy 180). I hope you all have a nice trip, I wish I could be there to do it with yall.

One more thing. If your going to go out and eat someplace, I would suggest Burrito Fiestas. It's in the Bookman/Hastings shopping center right next to Bookmans on Milton Ave. It's very inexpensive and very good. I would recommend anything chicken. They marinate it in a really good sauce. They do not have anything vegitarian for any of you vagitarians tho.

I'll probably meet you all at the snowbowl trailhead on Sat a.m.

Next item... WHAT TIME?

[Canyon Dweller]

I just realized that if there is anybody that plans to come up on Saturday and return to Phoenix on Saturday night, then i would like to hitch a ride with you. I live in north phoenix on th ecorner of 7st. and Bell. If anybody is willing to pick me up let me know. I'll even be willing to help out on gas.

For those camping Fiday & Saturday nights: I have a portable gas grill if ya wanna bring burgers, franks or steaks and a fridge in the motor home to keep things cold. Of course if you store steaks in the fridge I can't guaranty that Strider and Dew can't open the fridge door!

I'll have a grill and some type of libations as well. How about we round all of us up in the Snow Bowl parking lot at 8:00 AM Saturday morning?
I'll bring some FRS radios set at channel 1, code 6 for keeping up with folks if necessary.
