Details

I have campsite reservations at Lost Dutchman Campground near Apache Jct. for Jan.19. and 20.
There's room for one more vehicle and a tent. I will already be in Arizona so I can't carpool. And after 2 days hiking around here, I will head to Tucson for more hiking but stay in a Motel. And anybody can join me there as well, just get your own rooms.
I started a couple of hikes I need to go and finish.
More info about hikes later.
Campsite cost share will be $25.- pr night.
Or you can get your own campsite. But don't wait too long. This place fill up fast.
More details later.
Everybody has to bring his/her own camping equipment, food etc.
