Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Anybody got a go to place that still has Tonto passes? Last trip to Canyon Lake there were none available in the Apache Jct area. Maybe Payson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Don't know where you are driving in from, passes sold at Quick Trip on Ellsworth/University also at the Chevron Ellsworth/Brown Rd. That is what I was told 2 weeks ago and then when I went down there everybody told me they were "sold out" and that I would have to go to the Forest Service office on McDowell......every place I pulled into said "No Tonto Passes all sold out"! Coming in from Snowflake through Payson! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savagman Report post Posted August 9, 2016 I would try along the way. Globe maybe? Local stores out for weeks. Tards at Tonto ran out and printer doesn't have the right ink. Some government bs like that. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Str8Shot Report post Posted August 9, 2016 I tend to buy 5 - 10 and keep in the glove box... In times when I was out , and where I had been to a couple places on the way being told they are out everywhere. I put a sign on my dash that says " Make Sure Retailers have Tonto Passes if you want people to buy them" and clip money on the note. I am not running around nor wasting my time at the lake do to idiots not doing their job. Never had an issue 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norteno Report post Posted August 9, 2016 I read somewhere that they ran out of paper to print the passes so they were not required for a while. I'm sure they've resolved this issue by now....I hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My weekend warrior mentality gets me passing through Payson about 7:00 pm on Friday, I will check with some of the local businesses there, maybe the shortage hasn't hit them yet in Payson.

Ohthatguy Report post Posted August 10, 2016 I wonder if they are making some with anti-counterfiet measures. Last few times I was asked where I purchased it. WTF? Are we going to have to prove that we purchased it legally. Kinda pissed me off. Not good enough to have it, but now get questioned about its authenticity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
