2020 Picnic April 18
Saturday, April, 18,2020
9am-2pm-ish SAGUARO LAKE. Take the Beeline from Fountain Hills, towards Payson. Exit onto Bush Hwy, go +-4mi South to the lake's marina entrance. Bear left at guard shack, continue to end of road. All cars need a Tonto National Forest Day Pass--OR--display your Senior Pass for National Parks and Recreational Lands. Senior Passes have gone well up in price, but over time, are still a good deal. Many gas stations, drug stores, etc sell the day passes and there is a vending machine, at the guard shack that sells them. The lifetime passes are available at US Forestry/Ranger stations. I'll provide paper plates, napkins, plastic silverware, charcoal/lighter, table covers, grill tools, Mustard, Ketchup, Onions, Mayo, Relish, and of course, Jalopenos Please bring your "protein" and a side dish or desert to share, and your liquid of choice. |
Thanks for sponsoring the picnic again Karl. Will plan to see you all there. Wishing for good weather. Will post to FB.

I’m hoping to have a fresh paint Cobra for this one.

Thanks for scheduling this event again Karl. Will see you there with a large crowd and great weather.
Created an event on our FaceBook site. Put you as co-sponsor since event creator has to be a sponsor. https://www.facebook.com/events/1025420401175409/ AZ Bob |
Looking forward to being there and seeing everyone. Thanks Karl!

Seems like everything is getting canceled, postponed, or closed.
I've sent an eMail to the Tonto National Forrest office inquiring if there are any plans, at this time, of closing the facility. I'll report their response. I'm all for having the picnic but also am anxious to see other's opinions. Whadday Think? |
I'd keep it up for now. Closures here are tentatively for 30 days which would be right at the time so officials think things should be winding down. Of course things could change. Besides everyone will be full into cabin fever by then and the picnic would be a welcome break

Agree with Mark. There was no reservation or fee submitted. Could be cancelled day before if needed. Going stir crazy already. Just spent all morning measuring how much wattage is used by all 10 of my TVs. LCD vs LED, Old vs new, wattage vs screen size, etc. Yup, too much free time. That was after visiting 3 grocery stores.

I say go with the original plans and stay tuned to what’s going on. We can always cancel right up to the last day.
|
I agree, wait until the week prior. If the powers that be can make changes every day, so can we.

Last Sunday, Mrs. Sweetness and I were out for a drive, and went past Saguaro Lake. I thought I glimpsed a sign saying it would close the 23rd. Wasn't sure so I pulled into the Marina entrance and immediately got into a traffic jam. The rangers were turning away vehicles, not towing a boat. I asked the ranger if what I saw was correct, and "he didn't have time for questions but they'd be putting out a press release". "Yes" or "No" does take a lot of time, I guess.
Anyway, today's newspaper did have the article about all the national parks, campgrounds, and forests in AZ that have closed. Pretty much blows off our annual picnic. I didn't want to post anything until I was certain, since I really hate to post corrections, revisions, or retractions that can cause confooozun. CRAPOLA |
IF IT IS SAFE to do so and the park is still closed, we could host it at our house.
Heads up, propane only here. |
Mighty nice of you to offer Mark. Sounds good to me. Will need some emailing by Paul once nailed down.
Thank You AZ Bob |
