aimee 2 Posted August 20, 2009 Undeveloped tent or RV camping at a somewhat remote site on Mingus Mountain for 2 nights. This is between Prescott and Jerome, AZ. - This will be car and RV accessible via maintained gravel roads. - No trails are planned, but there are tons of forest roads if you want to go exploring. - ATV use is permitted in the area, but technically they must be street-legal and registered. - Historic city of Jerome is nearby, and can be accessed by a back-way 4x4 trail or by highway. - 2 families are bringing kids, dogs are also welcome (IF THEY ARE KID AND OTHER DOG FRIENDLY ONLY!). - My Jeep is going to be in the shop, so I am bringing my dual-sport so I can do some trails instead. Feel free to invite anyone who may be interested! We'll post more details of the exact location closer to the trip date, but this is a map to the general area: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Phoenix,+AZ+85053&daddr=S+Hwy-69%2FAZ-69+to:34.671675,-112.145573&geocode=%3BFcThDAIdtIpP-Q%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=18&via=1&sll=34.672703,-112.144972&sspn=0.004076,0.008256&ie=UTF8&ll=34.655239,-112.150497&spn=0.26095,0.528374&z=12 Final Directions & Meeting Info Majority of us are going up friday afternoon, leaving phoenix at 3-4pm. Some are coming up Saturday Morning, let me know if I need to come back to the main road (89A) intersection to meet anyone at a specific time to lead them to the campsite... otherwise we'll assume you are just going to come look for us. Reference the above link for google map... after leaving Prescott/Prescott Valley, you will head north on 89A till you get to forest road 104, which I believed is marked something to do with mingus mountain recreation area? Turn right on FR104, take it till FR413, make a right on FR 413 and start watching for us camped out sometime after that... we will probably camp more towards where the road splits again or just after. You can look for a blue Tahoe with a hard-side camper attached, and a silver VW Rabbit, and a white chevy Trailblazer with a tiny little trailer attached.... that's us! CONFIRMED ATTENDING: Matt S. (first night only) Scott & friend (first night only) Aimee, Kristoffer & Brady Bill, RaKell & kids Marcus H. Tasha, Kyle & kids Tentative: Shayne S. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number7 89 Posted September 11, 2009 Bad News! We're not going to be able to go; e suddenly needs a new distributer. So much for her opportunity to redeem and prove herself this weekend. Even though we could take the truck or Number 7, the distributer is going to set us back $90 so we need to hang. Hope you guys have fun and the weather rocks.
