Im on the other side of town (Chandler) so it would probably take me more than an hour to get there. I can probably get off work early to be able to make it.

Fire wood? Yes bring a bag or two. If everyone brings a bag that would be cool. There is always wood around when I've been there.

I also have to go to 'first friday' art festival just north of downtown phonenix that night. A friend has a new gallery and I promised Steph that we would go. If anyone wants to joing us and walk around for an hour or so let me know. I will be heading there after dinner or around 7-8pm.

I'll join you Victor as long as I don't have to get dressed up. I won't have my tux's with me...only camping clothes!

Its an outdoor event thru the streets of phoenix. The galleries are open for folks to wonder in and out. http://phoenix.about.com/cs/enter/a/firstfriday.htm

I will probably have to head back from the campsite at around 11am because I have a basketball tournament to go to. One of the players busted his knee cap and we now have only 5 players. That should put me back in Phoenix at around 1:15pm

Remember to bring a little bit firewood everyone.

Just checked the weather for this weekend up at the area we will be in...

Highs in the low 70's and lows in the upper 30's/low40's.
Should be very nice during the day with crisp nites perfect for the campfire!

Billy,
I wished I lived closer. I would love to make it.

Sounds like it maybe almost as fun as Moab. Can't wait for the pictures. Have a great time wheeling.

Peace.

Tom, this trip is less on the wheeling (pretty much a dirt road) and more on the hiking, camping and hanging out with other VXers. Fun for sure, just a different type!
I will see you in Moab...I'll drop you an email when I get my plans together to see if you want to join me pre ZuZoo for some hiking and Mt. Biking!

Arrived Maricopa, AZ this morning ;)

Brought 3 RC VXs to left to you guys as gifts. One comes without batteries (6AA and 1 PP3 (9V) required), 2 other requires Euro to US plug adapters for chargers (the chargers should work with 110V according to specs). Sorry, that would be left on your expenses :)

Very cool Alexander! See you soon!
You said you have a sleeping bag..do you need a tent? Let me know, I have an extra.

Who's got dibs on the RC VXs?
Not me I'm sure, but I would love to have a little VX to take camping and to the snow!

Tri-

Does anyone have a portable grill or stove they will be sharing, or is it every man for himself?
Or will we be cooking by campfire?
Or MRE's?
;puke:

Also, is it dog-friendly?
11/01/2007, 11:02 AM
Triathlete

I will have a grill to put over the campfire (MMmmm,steak!) and I will have my camp stove also! If any one needs to use it they are free to. MRE's=;puke:

I don't think the dog will be a problem. Not sure about at the Natural Bridge though...let me check their website.

From the Natural Bridge website...

Quote:

Dogs are not allowed on hiking trails in the creek or under the bridge.

At the campsite they would be okay.
The trail down to the bottom of the bridge is really cool though!

RC VX's where? hum... Who are the organizers again? Hey Billy I upgraded my GPS to have have the outdoor tracker feature. We should be able to have longer trails and not get lost the last 4 miles.
