Let me know who is interested and what day would be best for everyone. I'd like to see if we can get a good idea of who's in by Friday.
I would love to go, but Im moving into my new apartment this weekend. Ill have to catch you next time.

I might be in for Butcher Jones. I'll have the wife and kids with me though

Sunday is better for me as my rig is on jack stands right now.

I've been back to the first 3 coves and would like to see the 4th & 5th. I'm curious to scope out a camp site for about 10 people ~ 4-5 trucks. I imagine that the further back the less people (a good thing).

I've only been to the first coves myself. Getting closer to the camping season too, definitely need to scope some spots

Looks like Sunday it is - which is good, that gives me an extra day to get stuff done to the truck.

Ted - so far I'm rollin solo so you are more than welcome to ride shotgun. I need to disucss some fab ideas with you soon anyway.

Sounds like everyone knows how to get to Buther Jones - how about we meet just inside the gate? What time is good for everyone? I'm not always an early riser, especially on Sundays, and some of you are coming from quite a ways away - hows 10 sound? Does everyone have a CB? lately I have been on channel 16 or 4. I have an extra hand-held CB also if someone needs to use it.

What is everyone driving? I don't see too many details about your rigs. I have a blue 89 4Runner, details is signature.

No prob Mike! Do you know how to get to the other coves? We might be at the 3rd cove by 1:30. Do you have a CB? you can always find me on there and we can let you know where we are, and if need be, I can come meet you somewhere.

Everyone is welcome - even newbe's

I have been to Butcher Jones hundreds of times and there is nothing a stock truck can't handle. The great thing about Butcher Jones is that there is something for everyone out there. For every hard hill there is an easy one, and usually some inbetween.

Lift and lockers are not required - but having fun is.

Is 10 ok for everyone?

if everyone knows how to get to Butcher Jones, I suggest we meet there just inside the gate so we are not parked in the general parking lot which requires the Tonto Pass.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=...-8&sa=N&tab=wl

the gate is in the far back corner of circular driveway - once you cross through the gate there is a large cattle guard then a big open area where I usually air down/up at - I'd like to meet there.

OR - if we need to, we can meet at the Chevron Gas Station (formerly Baja Gas Station) which is right across the street from Ft. McDowell Casino:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=10180 ...OWELL,AZ 85264

Either is ok with me - we just need to figure it out by tomorrow evening.

Who's all in? Me obivously
