TITD countdown and Sign up thread! (2018)

[Curly]

I don't know if some of you Friday arrivals want to get out to the camp spot a bit earlier.

Mike - I don't know if I can get to Florence any earlier than noon. I can meet up at the campsite. Are you choosing the old camp site or the new one from last year? Can you hang something on a bush where to turn in if you choose the new site, not sure I can remember the turn?

:Thanks
John

I expect to be in Florence between 1:30 and 2pm. I'd appreciate a flag/sign/whatever at the turn as well.
Thanks
Tim

Might have to parachute in some scouts.

Any place in Florence that's good to fill an rv water tank?

I am hopeful that we can get the same spot as last year. I think it is better than the other spot. More shade and a bit more room. The problem is you can't see it from Cochran road. I put the coordinates of the area we normally camp at in the first post.

We normally put something out by Cochran road to mark the turn off. Once we do we can post up what it is. I will post up when we leave Florence to head to the spot. That way folks will know if someone is already out there.

What about the Tucson folks? Do you think any of you will get to the spot earlier than noonish??


It's a bummer Flint and Krista won't be joining us this year. But lots of other regulars are planning to attend. Unfortunately Derek has decided he can't make it either.

Looking at some where between noon and 1 for us getting in.

It seems I am always bleeding brakes right before TITD.

The little red XJ MADE IT THIS TIME!!!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
We are at the hotel tonight. Would love to meet up for lunch at the Mexican restaurant?
I just cant remember where it is, or the name and address?
Jerry and Bob I have parts too.

That's great news Dusty! I believe the restaurant you are thinking of is 'Old Pueblo Restaurant'. 505 S. Main St.

Any hams? I'll be monitoring 146.460 simplex Friday afternoon starting around 1 pm.

Gumby usually brings the hams. Warms them by the fire. Always yummy! (KI7jpl)

Ok I'm travelling solo and I will be bringing a ham with me. Trying to be there usual time Saturday.

My buddy and I had a miscommunication, he is going to get to my house around noon. So probably 1:30 or so for Florence.

I should be there about the same time. I think Tim is also on track for that.

Yeah, buddy had trailer issues. So he will probably meet up with me about 1:15, he is rolling. An hour to Florence another 45 minutes to the camp spot. I will check in here when we get to Florence, should be around 2:15 or 2:30ish

Mike : I’m at the Chevron on the right hand side of the road just past McDonalds
