Archelogical Expedition and Camping Trip

[Nick Charles]

Anyone interested in joining a Arizona Expedition in February. The 16-19th to the lovely White Tank Mountains. Join Mojave Jack Indiana_Tone and Nick Charles as they explore the wilds of the AZ desert. Live animals, real nature hike and FIRE. Don't miss out. Here is a link to the park & a little back ground

That's right up my alley.

 

[MK]

I wish

I love desert camping....but I probably can't do it this time. I am jealous.

 

[Nick Charles]

Ladies are more than welcome.

 

[Lauren]

Possibly... gotta see how the $ holds out by then- but I love outdoorsy stuff

 

[Ken]

Darn geography. If it wasn't for all this water in the way I'd be there in a heartbeat

[MissQueenie]

Count me in. I'll probably have to hitch a ride with someone, but I'd love to go. The sooner we have dates nailed down, the sooner I can ask for those days off!

 

[MrBern]

A definite "maybe".

 

[Shimmy Sally]

I might even bring a real live field archeologist with me. He's a lithic analyst.

 

[Nick Charles]

I've thrown up a loose schedule of things, if there is anything you would like to do or see please let me know.

 

[Mike K.]

Sounds like a great idea! How much I get accomplished toward writing up this PhD dissertation will be the main factor in determining if I can go. It would certainly be a welcome getaway and a chance to meet you all (since I had to miss the QM event).
Cheers,
Mike

 

[Serial Hero]

I’m not sure if I can make the camping, but I can probably meet up with everyone on Sunday.

Have you thought about posting this over on COW, maybe get a whole thing going?

 

[Nick Charles]

posted on COW also.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Used to be a time when I'd be out in the woods more than home in the chair.

It's the Eagle Scout in me.

Set the date. I'd like to do some rock climbing if in it could be fit .

 

[Nick Charles]

Dates are Feb16-19 2007.

Geez, I would go but I am sure they don't have room service out there .
My days of roughing it are over---weak back and flat feet. The army wouldn't even take me.

Rergards,
