“Anyone gonna be there nov 2 or 3. I am taking a trip out to Phoenix, down to tombstone, over to Joshua tree, up to death vally, over to Vegas. over to Grand Canyon and back to Phoenix on the 6th. I have 10 states left that I havn't been in . This will get me 3 of those. I want to see all 50 states someday. Anyone from the area wanna be my wife and I for supper somewhere along the way. I'd like to meet some western TTers.

“opps,

normally I wouldn't go back and fix my spelling but it should read meet my wife and I, not be my wife.”

“I read what you meant BAMA. Let me know when you'll be in Vegas. Maybe....

No can do Wing. I'll be out of town.”

“wingding - Sheep Pass is one of my favorite group camping spots. However, I will out-of-state that weekend for a reunion.

I would love to go and try out my new tent trailer, but it will have to be another time.”

“Phil: A new tent trailer - that sounds nice.”

“Joshua Tree brings back many good memories. The desert stole a part of my youth.”

“wingding - It is a used tent trailer. Haven't used it yet.”

“but new to you”

“I'll be busy turning 53 that weekend. But ifn ya do it again I'm wanting to try the desert.”

“hey BAMA, are you planning on any stops along the way from Phoenix to Tombstone? you'll pass some nice places. Kartchner Caverns State Park is very impressive, a huge living cave that offers a walking tour. i think they've just opened up another room on the tour, which means i have to go back & visit again. darn! Tombstone won't take you too long - you'll miss Helldorado Days, which i've always wanted to go to. you should try to visit Bisbee, which is about an hour south of Tombstone, in the Mule Mountains. it's a very cool old mining town, and you can tour the Copper Queen Mine. i used to live in St. David, about 15 miles north of Tombstone. i love that whole area.

start a thread about your visit to S. cali - you might be able to scare up some TT-ers for dinner or something.”

“Thanks, I will try to make the cave. I would love to visit the old mining town but don't know if I'll have the time. I'll probally start a post soon.

BAMA”

“BAMA. let us know when you are out here. It would be great to meet some more TT'ers.

Send me an email to wld257@aol.com and I will send you my phone number. Maybe a group of us can hook up. If it can be arranged.”

“Oh yeah! I will be at JT with you guys... Want to climb something out there.”

“we're in for the JT trip, too. i'll sign up on the Trips page, but i'll be bringing hubby & baby as well.”

“WLD- whatcha gonna climb?”

“Just signed on. And I have a National Parks Annual pass. Anyone care to carpool?”

“Looking forward to trekking across an alluvial fan, scrambling over moon rocks, and tanglin' with the tumbleweeds.

tekdude - high plains drifter.
Gotta bring the tecate.”

“Wish we could come, but it is too far south. Darn.”

“I am not sure which peak to go for. Last time was Pinto Peak. Hopefully some of you JT veterans can suggest a good peak.”

“There are about 20 people signed up, so it should be a good trip. I'm thinking about adding a second site for Saturday night.”

“The high desert seems to conjure up this idea of a parched and cracked desert floor with a white washed skull in the foreground. It's hot out there.

Of course, there's that slight desert breeze that picks up that brush and blows it across your view. A lizard scurries away and you hear a coyote howl in the distance.”

“Then there's the high country. Ah, the pull it has on your soul.

”

“On the other-hand, one site will probably be enough.

Nice visuals Tekdude.”
