I've added it to my schedule and plan to be there...

OK, I need AZCA members to sign up for a campsite now so we can make sure we have enough room for everyone. We have the Grapevine Coot loop from Thursday, October 5 through Sunday, October 8. But I need to know when you think you'd actually arrive in case we need to book another loop possibly just for Friday and Saturday. First priority will be given to AZCA members and once members have signed up, we'll see what we have left for the rest. Please only request a site if you're fairly confident you plan on attending. Please check the original post for claimed camp site numbers.
I'll start, I'll take site #13.
-
11 JayHawker and 10 Frankiola.
-
Next to Larry wherever he goes.
-
I will either sleep in a cot and sleeping bag in the bed of my truck or a tent, so I can split a site with an RV, as there is usually room. Otherwise, I'll take either 8 or 9...
-
4 Stevert please.
-
Next to Larry wherever he goes.
Check with Larry to confirm he will be able to make it.
-
Hey Matt, yes I will be there and I will take campsite #8.
Only reason I didn't make it to Alamo was my back went out om me, so I couldn't move for over a week.
-
Don’t think I will make it. Have fun!!!
-
I'm in, I'll take 7
-
I'll take #9
-
I'll take spot #9 if it's still available.
Thanks Hai
-
If #9 is not available, I'll take #12, thanks Hai
-
Eric Minar (Houdini) and JT Butler (Slab Daddy) can share a site. Preferably as close to bathrooms as possible in case Slab Daddy's Daddy comes with.
-
I'll take 6
-
I will be there Thursday-Sunday. I'd like spot #15.
Legend
Art Pusateri
-
Sign Marv up for 1 please.
-
Sign Marv up for 1 please.
I assume that would be both Mark and Marv? I put them in site #1
Also, whoever will just have 1 RV or using one slot of their site we'd like to have Alf (apenland01) take the other side as he'll just have his truck, boat, and tent.
Now we have a problem if more people want to attend...

Sign Marv up for 1 please.
Yes that would be accurate OneBlade Sir.

No boat for me, I store it at Roosevelt. Just me and my truck at the campsite. I'll either sleep in the bed of my truck in a cot and sleeping bag, or possibly pitch a tent, depending on weather. I have a very small footprint.
Ideally, I'll sleep in Larry's zero gravity chair watching TV after he goes into the RV....

ill taje 16 me n rats

oops looks like all booked.

The AZCA has added Wed Oct 4th to the Coot loop reservation so those AZCA members who want to arrive early can utilize Coot loop. We also just reserved the adjacent Grebe loop for Fri-Sun Oct 6-8 for additional AZCA members and non-members and I've started added additional folks to that site as well. We can move around people so let me know if you'd like any changes. Alf and Tom, you can still find a site to share with in the Coot loop as well but I did put you in sites closest to the Coot loop so you won't be too far away. If you do end up deciding to share a site, let me know so I can update the campground map.
-
If anyone just coming Fri/Sat please please consider moving to the Greeb loop, allowing those showing up Wed or Thursday to get into the Coot.
Matt, put me in with Craig's spot and Alan (One Hook) in with Frank as we don't need our own space.
-
And, Thank You Matt for some very quick on the fly upgrades to ensure space for all.
-
Looks like all the spots are taken but put me down as an alternate if something opens up.
Thanks,
Scott

For now, I put you in Grebe spot #9 a short walk to Coot loop. If you think you're coming up before Friday then we'll need to move you to Coot loop and shift someone from Coot who isn't coming up until Friday over to Grebe.

We have reserved the Coot loop from Wed, Oct 4 through Sun, Oct 8. And we've reserved the Grebe loop from Fri, Oct 6 through Sun, Oct 8. If you would like to attend and plan on camping with us, please RSVP here including when you plan to arrive. You don't need to RSVP if you're already marked for a campsite on the first page of this forum post.
-
Please remember, if you are not arriving until Friday, please ensure you are in the Grebe loop and not the Coot, such we can maximize the clubs resources.
-
I will be staying at Spring Creek, so my camp spot is up for grabs. I believe someone wanted to split it with me, but I won't need it now, so they can have it...
-
I will be heading up on Wednesday. Do you have any campsites left?

Hey James, we'll find a spot for you for early arrival but will need to identify who currently slated in the Coot loop won't be arriving until Friday and shift them to the Grebe loop so you can get on the Coot loop where we have that earlier reservation. Stay tuned.
-
OK James (Rollo) -- Art (Legend) had to cancel so you now have his site #15 and can arrive on Wednesday.
-
Thank you
-
Im coming up on thursday at 5pm. Just me and boat. I can share a spot.
-
Florin Nesiu (PleasantWhiperer) & Andrew Nesiu (Crappie King) indicated they'd also be attending BHCC, arriving Thursday. I put them in the Grebe Loop Site #11, but that loop isn't reserved until Friday, so they may need to share a site in Coot loop with someone for that Thursday if we cannot get the gate open earlier in Grebe loop.
-
Steve Seivert (Stevert) unable to attend as he is volunteering for youth deer hunt with his family so I have moved Florin Nesiu (PleasantWhiperer) & Andrew Nesiu (Crappie King) to Coot loop site #4 since they are arriving on Thursday.

As you may or may not know, the federal government may shutdown Oct 1st. This impacts the Grapevine group site availability. I am inquiring with Tonto National Forest regarding this, but if it shuts down, we will have to make a decision by Monday October 2nd whether or not to move the entire event to Alamo Lake (not federal, rather a state park unaffected). I mainly wanted to give everyone a heads up. I'm also inquiring with the park ranger at Alamo Lake to secure the group site as last I checked, it was available.
-
Thank you Matt, great leadership on your part, planning, and communication.

Thanks Matt, was wondering about that too.

This event is good to go at Roosevelt Lake this Saturday. AZCA members will need to print out the group campsite reservation and display in your truck when you use the boat ramp, or you may get ticketed. AZCA members have their camping paid for, otherwise it's $15/night for non-members to camp in the Grapevine site.
Please print out the reservation receipt applicable for you and they can be found under "Additional Information" on our 2023 Bob Hirsch Crappie Classic Page (http://www.azcrappie.com/forum/index.php/page,bhcc2023.html#bhccSectionAddlInfo) or links also provided here:
