|

That time of year again! With little warning, I present to you the 4th SAPDR! The plan this spring is to meetup at Chavez Pass Pueblo (directions provided to participants via PM) and do some exploration up there. While not technically part of the Painted Desert, Chavez Pass was the way in and out of the LCR basin in prehistoric times, and provides a glimpse into the life of the ancient inhabitants of the Painted Desert.
Car camping that night will be at Homolovi Ruins State Park, just outside of Holbrook. We can do some hiking there that afternoon to some petroglyph sites. Dinner will probably be at the campsite, though we can roll into town if folks are so inclined.
The next day presents three major options: Little Painted Desert County Park, just north of Homolovi is one. The Moenkopi badlands east of Winslow is another. The third is the PeFo, with a possible side-trip to Holbrook Petroglyph Park afterwards. Lunch in Holbrook or Winslow, and then we'll all head our own separate ways.
Since we'll be day hiking and car-camping, there's no group size limit. Everyone is responsible for their own fees (campground/parks/meals/etc.). Should be a good time! Who's interested? |

I'd like to go too. I'll be doing my first backpack trip to Fossil Springs with a group the weekend of May 8th and if all goes well, I'll be ready to finally join you Rob. I am slowly getting all of that gear ready and can't wait _________________ Angela from N Phoenix |

Yeah, I think we'll have to reschedule this one. I'm still not feeling great! Sorry folks. I'll look at reschedule dates next week. Don't want to wait too long though! Otherwise it'll get pretty toasty there! _________________ Anywhere is within walking distance if you spend the time. |

Glad to hear it's being rescheduled. I would have a hard time making it this weekend but I'd love to make it when a new date is picked!
Feel better!
