AZ Campouts

Back in the 60s, pretty much anywhere past the Woods Canyon Lake turn off could be secret. My spot is about 14 miles from there.

 

hahahaha thats earlier than my time but it was significantly less busy up north even 5 years ago so I believe it!

 

Depending on location we usually just text each other the coords. But yes be the squeaky wheel!

 

I stopped going there about 4 years ago. It is a mad house now. And just gets absolutely trashed.

 

I used to leave early Saturday and was able to get a nice spot up north. Nowadays I have to leave on Thursday or Friday, cause otherwise all the good spots are taken.

 

It's important to remember. Even though I may not be 25 anymore, chicks still dig me, and guys wanna be me.

 

I’m heading out in the morning to go up to Eagar with the camper. My aunt lives up there so going to stay a night with her and see if we can find a nice secret spot to get the camper out to for the second night. Hopefully not too many people, thinking everyone got their dose of camping last weekend.

 

just check on the 87 before you go.
It’s currently closed for a brush fire

 

And I see the 60 is closed also?
Heck, we had a fire just yesterday up on Mt Elden somewhere, but I guess with all the other fires and thining it didnt get crazy before being put out

 

Yup, fire season is finally here.

 

87 isn't closed, but the 60 is outside of Globe...

 

It is at Round Valley south of Payson

 

Negative Ghost Rider...just slow

 

Was last night

 

yeah 87 was closed in both directions friday from about 6pm till about midnight when the southbound lanes opened, then the northbound lanes finally cleared about 5am saturday morning.

there was a crash that cought fire, hazardous material involved. two hot shot crews responded on scene as well as heavy lift tanker helo, two heavy wreckers, 3 flatbeds, one enviromental cleanup crew and one hazmat crew. it was a mess.

edit: northbound is restricted to one lane north of Rye for a couple miles with no timeframe yet for repairs or re-open, so plan accordingly.

 

You end up finding a nice spot?

 

Saw my aunt in Eagar and then grabbed a spot at Hoyer Campground last night. Came back to Phoenix today. It was just a quick get away. We plan on going back up to that area more over the next few months.

 

Well its been a little while. Who is ready to get out of the heat? Or stay in the heat and do our thing on a lake. Maybe some paddle boards, kayaks and such?

 

Should have posted here! We are pondering a trip up by you this weekend? Ive got a few things todo first ..
