Nah, sorry Robert, you pretty much can't...but if you somehow figure a way to get a sponsor between now and then, don't worry about studdermonkey. He probably won't be there anyway.

AZSarge,

Are we sure that Bushnell will be open?  I got this off of the Tonto National Forest website on Dec. 24th.

Some Burned & Flooded Areas
Remain Closed
Some areas scorched by the Cave Creek, Bart and Edge fires or damaged by recent flooding on the Tonto National Forest remain closed to the public.

There are currently no campfire, smoking or other fire restrictions on the Tonto. Motorized use within burned areas is prohibited or restricted.
• Order 12-215 Cave Creek Complex Wildfire Special Restrictions (.pdf)

Seven Springs will re-open 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 5. However, crews will continue to work on Seven Springs Rd. repairing areas as needed.

On the Mesa Ranger District, due to this summer's Edge Fire, Bushnell Tanks remains closed. For more information, contact the Mesa Ranger District at 480.610.3300.

I've heard from several people that BT is closed, this just re-inforces the fact.

I went out looking for new AOs along the HWY87 today.  Found some, if you don't mind cacti. :roll:

We will figure out which AO is best for this skirmish, and I'll post location as it's updated.

Meeting time and place will not change.

I'm going to BT myself tomorrow to get to the bottom of this bullshit.

Frankly, I don't see the need to close an area for the simple fact that it's burned.  :roll:  But, that doesn't change the fact that it may or may not be available for the game.

I'm going, and I'm finding a good spot for this game, dammit.

The reason they close it, is because without any vegetation to soak up the water and provide barriers their is more risk of flooding and mud slides.

That makes sense.

Alright, I'm heading out now.  I'll check it out, and try to find new AOs.

I don't know if you're done with the search for new AOs or not, but I was always wondering about the turn off that was only about a quarter of a mile from the Conoco. I think it is the Verde River turn off. I have frequently looked down there as we were passing it, and it always seemed like it could be a neat place to play. It looks like there is a formidable amount of trees down there, so my assumption is there is some good cover.

It is Indian Reservation and you will not be able to play there!

We got some sh*t last time we played there, and I just want to wait awhile before we go back.  I want to get documentation that allows us to play there, so I can present it to any park rangers that may come along.  

Since it's a very busy place with ATVers and such, there are tons of Park Rangers there on a Saturday morning.

So, Airsofter1 and I went out looking for new AOs last night and found this place:








It's Sycamore Creek, almost to BT on the HWY87 traveling North from the conoco.  It's about 23 miles north of the conoco.

There is plenty of cover, the ground is mostly flat with several small hills.  The foliage is mostly woody stemmed bushes, with very few cacti (I saw 3 the whole day), and is intermittent enough to allow fast moving.  

It's a ver neat AO, similar to BT before it was all overgrown.

There is also a creek, with flowing water.

We're going to have the January AA game there.

Up around Seven Springs is another great place to play. Also north of Cavecreek/Carefree area.

Looks good - this AO is in the national forest?

BTW - national forest land is pretty much wide open and absent a VALID closure, the forest rangers really have no standing to harrass.  But what do I know !
