I was just talking about you to wally, all good. Looking forward to seeing you.

I can't do Friday but I will camp out Saturday if anyone else is interested.

Cool, I will be bringing my mountain pie irons to cook on the fire if anyone wants to bring any special ingredients such as fruit pie fillings. I will be bringing lots of bread, cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni.

That sounds good to me Chris, about 5:50am?

I am in at 13 miles, 18 is a bit for me in a day plus the the long drive,I will not be offended if you guys what to do the extra miles I will do this hike another time.

Great, I have been wanting to check out this area for a future backpacking trip.

Let me try that again, Thanks Allan

Thanks Allen

yeah, I really need to change my user name, It's my work email.

8am sounds good.

7:30 sounds good.

IF any one needs a lift Saturday in the East Valley I will be coming from gold canyon and I am driving a ford Crew Cab that seats 5.

Sounds like a plan. Preston I assume your coming from Safford, If that is the case you will be driving right pass me in Gold Canyon. PM me if you would like to discuss sharing a ride.

Now you are just making me thirsty, I have to go get a drink. Anybody want anything while I am up?

I was waiting for someone to bring up the water issue since I have not backpacked in this area, and it seems to be a pretty steep climb up and not having to haul 16 Lbs of water on my back sounds good if Tewa knows there is water 15 feet away from us at Hopi Spring, I am just saying it sounds good t...

That date works for me unless we have another cold snap like we just had.

I am so bummed, I would have loved to go on this,flying to pittsburgh for the holiday, speaking of pittsburgh did stiller have a accident?

The ruins in Coon Creek are a great opportunity to see well preserved ruins that do not require 4 wheel drive, and the hike is only 8 miles round trip on an ATV trail (check out the trip description on Trail Dex). We will meet at Walgreens in Gold Canyon at Kings Ranch Road and the US 60 at 6:30am.

Anything in the supes sounds good to me. The Crosscut TH is at the end of broadway?

I have been wanting to do this for a long time but can't seem to ever get any one to go when I tell them where it is, so count me in. I believe Randal Schulhauser knows a lot about the area, having read most of his posts about the Sierra Ancha Mountains, so maybe he will see this and join us.
