Ok, here's the list I have of people in AZ: (we might want to take this discussion out of the vanagon list once we know that all the AZ and/or NM people are listening.) Dyer Lytle (Tucson) (me!) lytle@noao.edu Todd R. Schroeder (Phoenix) todds@sunnet.chotel.com Dave Phillips (Tucson) phillips@aries.tucson.saic.com Dave Black (Sedona) dblack@argus.lowell.com Seems like there was someone else over at UMC who was asking me about carburation problems recently, can't find the mail file tho.... What about NM people? I think there was only one, probably in Albuquerque... (anyone remember how to get this info from this listserver?) Todd sez: > While we're discussing that neck of the woods, how about Tuweap > (aka Toroweap) on the Arizona Strip. Do you know the place? > It's smack dab in the middle of the Grand Canyon.

Never been there myself, heard of it though. Sounds nice but it might take quite a while to get there with that 65 mile dirt road drive. > Sound good to me -- is Peppersauce (outside Oracle) still there? > I though it may have been gobbled up by the Biosphere. I still > like the Chiricahuas, like over Memorial day...... Peppersauce is still there, gets overrun with ghetto-blaster toting teens quite a bit in the summer, might be OK this time of year, and there is great mountain biking there too! Yep, I like the Chiricahuas too but its not very central, a long trip for Dave Black. (I specially like the east side!) Dave Black sez: > Hey Dyer and Todd (and anybody else, for that matter), if you guys are > serious about this, I'd like to get in on it.

However, if you choose a spot > close enough to Oak Creek, I can probably *push* it there! Hmmm, Oak Creek Canyon is really nice even in winter. Of course there are Mogollon rim areas, white mountains, etc. A ski/camping trip? Sunset crater area is nice in winter although cold! So, who is seriously interested in some sort of AZ get-together? Or AZ/NM? Or AZ/NM/CO/UT :-) ? The Four-corners bus bash! -Dyer
