Its been kind of quiet on the campout front for a little while now So I am stepping up to spearhead this event and make sure things get done in time for people to make plans. We are looking at June 14th-15th (I will put up some signs for the directionally challenged among us) You can go to Google Maps and enter the following location 40.043189,-112.154489 to get directions or follow the ones bellow.

What to Bring:
WATER (there is no running water or toilets)
Food (Dinner/Breakfast/Lunch)
General camping supplies (this varies by family usually tent, sleeping bags, chairs, cooking supplies, etc)
And of course GUNS, AMMO, TARGETS, and more AMMO
Feel free to also bring ATV’s, Jeeps, Dogs, Games, Family, Friends, etc

There is plenty of firewood that can be gathered, but if you are lazy feel free to bring some. Again there is no water, so bring what you need to do your cooking, cleaning, drinking, etc. Any standard Car can drive these roads and trailers (up to about 50ft) can make it with no problems too. This is about 35miles from the freeway exit so it shouldnt be too hard on peoples gas budget (want people to still be able to afford ammo :wink: ).

Questions? Ideas? etc? feel free to email/PM

Going North (from Provo): Get off I-15 at Exit 279 (Lehi Main Street) and Turn LEFT
Going South (From SLC): Get off I-15 at Exit 279 (Lehi Main Street) and Turn RIGHT
Drive about 1.2 miles to the roundabout
Go STRAIGHT through the Lehi roundabout (500W and Main Street) and
Drive about 19 miles (Just a few hundred feet past Fairfield’s ‘main’ street {1500N})
Turn LEFT onto 18150W (Global One sign on left side of road) and
Drive about 13 miles and the road will Y (a jug handle turn)
Turn RIGHT at the Y and
Follow the Signs (basically stay on the main road until a Y and turn left)

Anyone who wants to head out Friday, the 13th feel free. I will have signs out on the 13th and will be out there already. Official activities will still be on the 14th-15th

Great, thanks for taking charge. Hopefully I can make it. Will there be a pot luck type of thing going on for Dinner?

Thats a good idea if we can pull it together.

Anyone wanna do a pot lock for dinner on the 14th while camping?

 

[xmirage2kx]

I Have a clay thrower much like the one GeneticsDave Has, but mine mounts to a trailer hitch on a truck.

 

[xmirage2kx]

Count us four in.

We are bringing a camper that has running hot water and a stove if needed. I will also bring a camp stove and a portable grill if anyone needs to use it.

Without assuming, pardon my questions:
Is it OK if we arrive on Friday evening, the 13th?
Are pets allowed?

If there is enough interest then I would be more than willing to head out on the 13th set up signs and even stay through the 15th. I love camping, so heading out for another day for me is no big deal.

There is no Set campground where we are headed... It is just out on BLM land in the hills, So When and what is just fine. Yes dogs are ok... Just remember there is no power for the ol' RV.

Sounds like 2 so Far, another 1 or 2 want to come out on the 13th and I will get things set up a day early.

isn't that place commonly referred to as broad canyon? If so, I am pleased, cause it's a great place to shoot and camp!

Broad or Rattlesnake Canyon... I have heard both.

 

[xmirage2kx]

Yep it appears to be broad canyon.

So I think I know a better route for those of us coming from Payson/Santaquin area.
Just jump on Santaquin main street. Head west toward Eureka until you exit the winding canyon at Homansville. Get off the highway & take the dirt road through Homansvile pass over by Allans ranch. At that point just follow Twelvemile pass road to the Broad canyon turn-off.

I followed that on mapquest and it looks like it will work. I will have signs up for the way I posted above that will help the directionally challenged among us, the other way you will be on your own.

:crying: wish i could make it. Having shoulder surgery this Friday and I don't think camping and shotgunning on painkillers and a bum shoulder would be good for me. Hope I can make the next one.

Sounds like a good chance to learn to shoot left handed to me. :thumbsup:

 

[xmirage2kx]

Anyone who wants to head out Friday, the 13th feel free. Enough people have contacted me asking if I can set things up for the 13th too. So anyone who wants to come out for friday-saturday and/or sunday can. I will have signs out on the 13th and will be out there already (about 1-2pm is when the signs will be up). Official activities will still be on the 14th-15th

 

[xmirage2kx]

I should have previewed it before submitting... But it does grab your attention

 

[xmirage2kx]

Cool, let me see what I can do. I really need ammo though.

It should be a Blast (pun intended)

 

[xmirage2kx]

It'll be about 100 mile trip, round trip @ 16.5 miles/Gallon = about 6 G X $ 4.00 = $ 24.00

1 box of 40 (100 rounds winchester 165 gr) @ Wal-mart = $25.99

1 box of .45 see above.

1 box of .44 (100 rounds) $ 30.00 +

Food min $ 20

Outing = $125.00 +

Sorry... Can't make it

TJ

Well I am sure we could cut the gas in half.. If not totally out. Then just buy 200rnds of one caliber (or 100 of 2). Now we are looking at $80

 

[xmirage2kx]

I forgot my camera, So I am forced to leave posting pictures to others that went. We had slightly smaller numbers than predicted, but there were still quite a few of us. The weather was great, company was great, and the shooting was great too

updates to follow
