Sorry guys- busy with family holidays, as I am sure you can relate. I have responded to all PM's. common question: I live in North Gilbert, near Cooper and the US 60.

thx. hoping I can get them to catch the fever.

not sure. Which one do you have?

love to see. Trying to get my kids out for their first this week. Should be interesting...

This camper has pros and cons. Let's start with the cons: - body damage (in pics). the prior owner hit a hole on a backroad and popped out the body panel on the side. As a result, the kitchen inset is not fixed on all side inside - replaced roof - the crank that sends the popup up sometimes gets funky, but never have had a problem with operation on it - gas/lights/etc are of questionable performance. I haven't looked into it - overall functional but very clearly not pristine condition Pros: - price - clean/functional inside - brand new tires - flipped axel for great clearance - sleeps 6 grown men comfortably. like comfortably. did it last year. It has 2 king sized beds with a couple of doubles. This thing is huge, but also light. - plenty of time on tags I am listing it here first for $900. If no takers, I am putting up on Craigslist for more. call/text: 602 568 798eight (sorry about the upside down photos. i can't find out why this happens. They look fine on my computer)

I am hanging around Payson for a wedding today and have a couple of hours. Where is a good spot to take my kids? - city lake in DT Payson - East Verde River near 260 - Kohl's Ranch area Somewhere else? trying to be within 20-30 min of Payson. Stockies ok, really, just trying to get them used to the process. Thx!

i'll check that tomorrow. This morning was tough because the of the rain. very murky

absolutely perfect.

Thanks. I'll try flowing springs. Looks promising.

Pm sent. I am in Gilbert.

i'll go in. Should be flexible with no tags this year!

I found a link about the area http://forums.bowsite.com/tf/bgforums/thread.cfm?forum=5&threadid=383215

I am looking to install my own in the backyard, but noticed how expensive the grass is...wow. Anyone know of a good location that has remnants or great prices? Looking for 300-400 SF of putting. I have checked Craigslist without much luck.

Thanks much. Talked with Tosha this afternoon. She's great.

I agree here. I know it is expensive, but I have hunted 22. Very tough. Lots of walking and if you do find your game, the hike out can be crushing. You need 4 guys to pack it out. I know the stuff south of 260. PM if you want to know more. Likely less hunting pressure, but the densities are lower too.

Have the model # of the saw?

also, I rotated those upside-down photos 3 times and re-uploaded. They still show wrong, so gave up!

I am taking my 4,7,8 year-olds camping for the first time. I have an old popup we'll be using and looking for a spot within 3-4 hours from the valley where we can get away from people, find cool weather, and near water (would be nice within walking distance). I have a good 4xr4 with clearance and I flipped the axel on the popup, so we should be good to go. Ideas? Thx, as always.

So we ended up doing Chevelon Lake. Bummer, but the last mile down to the dam was blocked off. We camped about 1.5 miles from the lake. The rim road was crazy green, as a side note. Also note to self: check the weather before you go into the mountains. If it is going to rain cats/dogs and horny toads, then at least time your trip so that you don't setup the popup in the crazy rain.

anyone try to find the site of impact?

side note: people taking pictures instead of watching the actual event drives me crazy.

I am likely going to camp on the east side of Chevelon Lake. Anyone think that is a terrible idea? Going to fish the stream and lake.

Yes, thanks. Went fishing there a few years ago. Incredible county.

Thanks All. I'll let you know where we end up. As a practical matter, I prefer streams/rivers so that my kids get used to that type of fishing (my favorite).

nope. Headed out 6/10
