theksmith 5,822 Posted July 28 (edited) The 17th annual Dirt Gala will be at the Cinders again! Come spend the weekend camping with us at the O'Leary group site near Sunset Crater in your tent, trailer, or RV. Saturday morning we'll do an optional moderate trail ride into the Cinders OHV area, have lunch, then return to camp. You could also just hang out at camp, go into Flagstaff and play tourist, or explore on your own! Chock full of friends, family, games, prizes, laughter and dirt – there’s fun for everyone! So grab the whole family and join us. Don't be that person hearing about all the awesome stuff you missed for the next whole year! Sign up now! Note: This event is open to everyone! You do NOT need to be a club member to attend. LOCATION The O'Leary Group Site near Sunset Crater & The Cinders OHV area, just outside Flagstaff, AZ. Click here for directions... We only have the WEST loop this year (the larger one on the left as you come in). This is a semi-primitive group campsite with paved access, vault toilets, charcoal grills, tables, and a central shelter. Note that there are NO hookups, however the shelter does have a spigot and an 120v outlet for temporary use (blenders, etc.). Individual spots are NOT reserved within the group area and space is limited. If you have a Travel Trailer or RV, we recommend you get there by 4pm to secure a big enough spot! SIGN-UPS / TICKETS Reply to this thread to sign-up, then click here to visit our online store and purchase your virtual tickets with a credit card or Paypal. We'll mark you as "paid" once you checkout and then you're all good to show up! A camping ticket (Tent, Trailer, or Motorhome) includes admission for you and your immediate family! UPDATE (as of 8/18): There are no more Motorhome or Travel Trailer tickets available (due to limited parking space). There's still room for more tent campers for now though!
