*****!

 

Alright you ***** loving boys before we scare everyone off from making a road trip why dont we hange the subject. I think a road trip would be an awesome idea unless people think their cars are more parked than driven?? I loved these trips in the past when you get 50, 60, 70, 80 cars out for a drive.

We just need to preplan a bit, but should be cooler!! Bryan, Ill help you out if you want as always. Lets pick a weekend to do it.

 

Back on topic. Looks like there is some definite interest here. So lets see if we can plan something out that everyone can enjoy. I know in the past as mentioned there is a lot of interest but then a lot of people bail out.

How can we change that? Is there soemthing that I can do to help make it better this time. Im down for whatever so lets hear it. Also dates that would be good and we will try to get a date.

 

I think if we leave early enough plan some sort of BBQ lunch (Burgers, Dogs, etc) and go to a cool place, we might get quite a few people. We might have to talk to the forest services to see if we can find a place we could BBQ and maybe take over a whole day use area.

I know that Showlow has a really nice day use area, but that is a long butt drive. Lake Mary also has a couple and i know that Oak Creek also has one. (the State Camp Ground in Showlow, "Fools Hollow Lake" has one of the best dau use facilities I have seen, but it is a 3 hour drive one way. This place also has a playground for kids.) All with plenty of shade. The big thing would be fire danger and BBQs. If we were to do something like this, I might just continue by camping at a location near by.

 

show low is nice, or there is woods canyon lake.

Good places and ideas. How many people are up for a drive that includes a stop for BBQ?

 

I am up for a drive as long as it is to a cool (not hot) place. Get the heck out of the valley for even a few hours would be awesome.

If a 2 hour drive from Fort McDowell is not to much, I recommend Showlow (Fools Hollow Lake Recreation Area). I think Woods Canyon Lake would be good, but not sure what kind of facilities they have. I know that Fools Hollow Lake has flushable toilets and stuff like that. Plus a great area for a group to get together. It would be great to see a bunch of Scions driving those winding roads. The big problem is fire dangers with the BBQ. Oak Creak also has a nice day facility, but not sure if we could rent out the day use area for the day (it typically fills up quick.) I think Slide Rock also has a picnic spot too. Not sure, that place has gotten comercialized. But I am down for a good cool run to get out of the valley heat.

 

me too. ITs hot out

 

Dagarhart....doesn't Oak Creek Canyon lead up to Lake Mary Rd up by Flagstaff?

 

im down for a road tirp/bbq. andy weekend is good for me!
