This is the planning/organization thread for Arizona's October 2013 Campout.

Since today (7/1/13) is the first day of planning, here's what need to determine sooner rather than later:

• B*chin' name for the trip!
• Location
• Duration
• Theme

Theme? Yeah. I don't think we've done a themed run before but costume parties are fun, and what is a camping trip if not a party?

UNF! So, get those ideas ready..

uh 5th&6th or 20th&21st anyone? I'm still on board for that spot north of queen valley we were talking aboot.

It looks like everyone has a different idea for which one to 'kick off the island' - no two people picked the same one!


I kicked off the "Something Different" for this exercise because it's really... really a long drive. I'll definitely do it if everyone else is in but it's farther than leaving the state, because you have to almost leave the state then backtrack many miles on dirt roads to get to the good stuff.

So, I made a decision matrix thinger to see where we stand... UNF!

Caution; BIG NERDY EXCEL CHART - d...u don't like data it's just nerd stuff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Anyway it just compares the trails/campsites/distances with the different criteria from the polls in this thread, based on the votes people put up. Right now "WWJD for a Klondyke" is winning because it's remote, there's cool scenery and there's a tough 4x4 trail to get in there plus the campsite is pretty good for accommodating us all.

That doesn't mean we have to use that nerdy chart to make our decisions, it's just me playing around while I was in a phone-in meeting at work.

Ok, I'm officially so confused, I don't think I can ever look at this page again without a belt burning up in my head. I'm in for what ever we do, just know I'm in. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

hahah too much nerding? man, I'm sorry! I just got bored with nobody else talking so I figured I would play around with numbers...

It's cool, as soon as the chart busted out, I had to shut it down. hahaha. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
