K7VZ 15 Posted November 4, 2009 I really want to go on this. What time will you be departing the Phoenix area on Friday? Could I get by with just taking Monday off work? I need more vacation time. Argh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzJeepChic 2,517 Posted November 5, 2009 I really want to go on this. What time will you be departing the Phoenix area on Friday? Could I get by with just taking Monday off work? I need more vacation time. Argh! We'll probably be leaving early since we're entering at Fortuna, but I bet you could find us if you left later. Heck, I bet we'll even have cell coverage at Fortuna Mine it's so close to town. You could volunteer to lead a late convoy if you want. . . d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goose 6 Posted November 13, 2009 I'm in the same boat with Phil. I have a permit but no video stamp. Is it true that the only place to get the stamp is Ajo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
