===========

So I went to this squirrel party and met a few HAZers.. I want to know when we all are getting together for some camping event. Not to mentiom; it's about time our friend AZPride takes a rope to the top.. How about Cochise?! -- hiking maybe climbing, car camping in style? (My car camping still includes cooking on a fire and sleeping in a tent.)

Cans, bottles or make it a kegger?

Is that a challenge?

His two to my one? HMMMM, I might have to think about that!!!!

This is something that we can talk about at a later time, but I thought I would throw the idea out there. Instead of everyone bringing their own dinner and stuff to cook on, maybe set up a Pot Luck for Sat. night? We can work out grills or stuff to heat food up with later.

Sounds interesting and fun...that's the birthday weekend so it's kinda up in the air at this point.

Is it your birthday that weekend or someone else's that you can't miss? Mine's the Thursday before, so I guess it would be mine too. Can't think of a better way to spend it....

I was personally hoping jonnybackpack would make camp chili.

Where's Grasshopper? We need him to come so we can dine in style! :GB:

It will be mine...another year older If I go, I guess we could both celebrate with a few libations

Last time we did this it was Jonnybackpack's birthday, and he celebrated by making everyone chili

So does that mean Azbackcountry is in charge of dinner this time?

I'm totally down with Chumley's idea - close by, drop-ins welcome.

... and, Superstitionguys's offer to unmask April 1st-ish. Cold weather + Me = No pumpkin way.
Besides, who wouldn't want to see the true identity of this mythical being? (see attached)

Potluck is the way to go! Anyone for some awesome smoked pulled pork?

Contrary to recent rumors Superstitionguy did not suffer an ignominious death at the hands of fellow Pixel Trivia players but is currently in an undisclosed foreign location living in a cave where he was banished by his wife :-({|= after repeated warnings about his addiction :guilty: to playing Pixel Trivia 7/24.

Thus he will be unable to join the Fellow HAZers campout on April Fool’s day or any other day and unmask himself to reveal his true identity until his request for anonymity is approved by the Federal Witness Protection Program.

PS - Does anyone know how to successfully search for Pixel Trivia Generic Photosets?

So... once again, the masked man eludes pursuit, disappearing into the night to taunt us another day. Like a wisp of smoke... just when you think it is within your grasp, you close your fist around it and it vanishes without a trace. The few who know the true identity of this mysterious legend would say they expected nothing less, but are certain that we haven't heard the last of him.
Go with the wind, SG!

I am interested in attending, it would be great to place faces with names, besides photos. I am a bit confused, which is not unusual of me, when and where? I vote for a potluck, and pulled pork. I would be happy to bring Chilean Wine to keep warm

HAH!!! If that's the case, then it's hot dogs and jalapeno ranch beans for everyone!!!! I'll just have to make sure I hang my hammock upwind of everyone

this will be the weekend before my birthday also I also vote for pot luck, but you probably don't want me cooking anything.. I once set a stove on fire while making pancakes maybe a salad or dessert instead... (and cheese).

@juliachaos
As long as it's packaged and/or fire-proof we should be good...

Really!? Pancakes...Fire!? How are you at boiling water...

so far I haven't screwed that up.. but the pancake incident was the second time I set a stove on fire...

I was out at Cochise this weekend, although on the west side, north of Middle March. Temps were awesome! There are myriad good-size camping areas, but bring your own wood as the oak & mesquite trees have been picked over. I'm unfamiliar with the climbs on the west side, but it sure looked wonderful. Sunsets are awesome on the west, too.
