Turkey creek camp out Jan. 20th

So it seems like the big Jan. 20th meet is still somewhat undecided and I know several people have either already requested the time off or just aren't interested in that big of a meet. I'm proposing a turkey creek camp out for that weekend instead. Mostly for anyone in SOAZ that can't make the trip north or anyone that just isn't interested in that big of a meet. My life is chaotic right now so I'm not even sure if this is something I can make myself but I figured I'd start this to see who is or would be interested. I don't necessarily want to organize a big meet but several have shown interest in this so post up if you would like to do this as an alternative to going north on the 20th and we can start putting together a plan!

Routes from the previous jeepandrew rug road campout ...

Route 3 (Tucson 2wd route) Route travels east on I-10 83 miles to Willcox, exiting the highway and turn left onto Rex Allen Dr/Ft Grant Rd, which crosses over I-10 and heads north 31 miles to Bonita/Aravaipa Rd and the end of pavement. From there, its north on Bonita/Aravaipa for 42 miles, passing by the small former ghosttown of Klondyke and through to Aravaipa canyon/Turkey Creek.

You know I'm in!

 

Depending on what goes down up here I’m always down to go camp with y’all

 

Trail 4x4 required? I'm down to make the drive down with @freddy2923, if the Meet up here doesn't fall through.

 

In

Did you want to set coordinates for the meet up or should Tucson trucks caravan out?

 

I'm in as long as I get this RTT mounted by then

 

Caravan, we gotta look cool at all times

 

That’s what I’m thinking

 

Anybody need a 2nd gen DCSB MGM camper shell before the meet? i know a guy............

 

Nope, 2wd friendly!

 

♥

 

We will see who all is interested, depending on my availability I may go out the night before to secure a camp spot

 

Let's get er done! Any word on your bed rack?

 

If all goes as planned, I should be picking it up this weekend **fingers crossed**

 

Let me reiterate the fact that I may not be able to make it. I just wanted a set place for this to get organized as lately everything has been a last minute shit show. If someone wants to, feel free to take the bull by the horns and set this up proper.
Tagging the guys I know might have interest but haven't seen the thread... conflict free trip here guys...

Hey dudes. If some can send me a link to more trail information on Turkey creek ill be happy to post up all the information and keep track of whats going on. I looked it up on google and got several of the wrong turkey creeks that we are looking to do. If anyone has the trail head cord. or a pin they can drop ill plan out from there.
