AVC Presidents Day off-road camping trip February 18th, 19th, 20th in Florence!
Hey off roaders!!!
We had such a good time in Florence last year we are going back. Mike found a awesome campsite last year that was just far enough off of the main road that dust was not a problem and plenty of room for everybody. Kenny and I did some exploring North West of camp and found a hole new area to play. There was nothing hard core just EZ trails to ride on and talking to Perri, he said he knows of a few runs in that area also.
I am just about done with my new car and I think I will bringing it out on this campout I am putting the Armor on it now I drove it around last week and it still needs some tweaking the break issue I was having is solved thanks to all your help it turned out that when you put on all new parts there is a break in to seat the pads.. (who would have known) I am not sure if it will be ready for the Hassayampa run.
3 great spots to aim for next month and they all are only 3 miles in off the 79. large flat areas, all great sites.
directions to the estimated base camp/meeting place for the weekend of feb. 19-21, 2011
from the florence juction turn off head south from the 60 on 79 go approximatly 5 miles, there will be a unused flag pole with a parking area on the left (east side) of the road. gps N33^10'43.7" W111^21'06.1"
from this point the road is a grated flat road, go east approximatly 3 miles east. the road is maintained and its not too bad. turn south into the camp/meeting area and pic a spot. the area will be used by others so you may have to look for signs. gps N33^11'27.9" W111^18'07.5"
having friends with motorhomes and 5th wheels, there is nothing out here that I would any problems with.... I picked this spot with long trailers and turning around and access to all. Far enough off the road the and small trees block the dust from people going down the road.
