Re: HELP ME out, fellas - I've got passes to Coyotes Buttes South next weekend, should I go?

As long as you are not some clueless suburbanite, and that does not seem to be the case, then I say go for it. Just make sure you prepare accordingly.

Here's the deal: It's very difficult to get Coyote Buttes South (as well as Coyote Buttes North) passes. Both are located in a very remote part of Northern Arizona near the Utah border, not far from the infamous polygamous community, Colorado City. The trailhead is about 5 hours from Phoenix and getting there requires a high clearance off road vehicle, which I obviously have - a little concerning is the fact that these El Nino storms have been dumping precipitation through Arizona and there's a good chance that that road may be impassable and/or become impassable should the weather change while we're there. There's literally NOTHING around, at all. Anything goes wrong and we're pretty much dead unless there are others in the vicinity. Of course, we'll have cold weather and emergency gear, weapons, fire starters, etc.

Check out the link below. It's a pretty amazing place. What do you guys think, is it worth the risk or should I pass and go when its a little warmer?

Looks very cool.

If you want to go when it's warmer...

"On-line Permits for Coyote Buttes North are very difficult to obtain. Conversely, permits for Coyote Buttes South are generally easy to get."

If you want advice about Buttes I think you should ask Gomer.

I think he probably just got confused. I don't want him to risk his life now, if he can risk it when it's warmer.

Wife's family has a cabin in Happy Jack. We try to hit it one every 18 months or so. No mountain bikes though.

Yep, Nigel can't read. What he quoted from the website is the ability to obtain, i.e., apply for, the permits online.

Check the calendar, fuckface, there are only 3 available weekend dates from now until April, and in March and April almost every day is completely sold out.

https://www.blm.gov/az/paria/hikingcalendar.cfm?areaid=1

Wow. Why so mad ghost? You said you wanted to maybe go when it's warmer.

Incidentally, there are 6 weekend dates available (not 3) in the time frame you are looking at, and there are plenty of available weekday dates later in January, throughout February, and in early March (if you would like to go when it's warmer).

I can list them for you...or just look for the green highlighted days. Not that difficult.

Seriously, I have no fucking idea WTF happened to you in your life but you are one disturbed motherfucker. Why do you continually post in my threads? I thought that I was on ignore? Why do you always have to get your two cents in?

Maybe it was the HELP ME in your title?

Not sure I understand the seething anger in your posts, when you asked for help. If you want to go when it's warmer, there are options available to you. You're mad at me for pointing that out? When you specifically asked for HELP?

Although it is the smallest of values, by adding his two cents is he not increasing the value of your threads? Also, since he is giving two cents, does he get a small ownership stake in your threads?

I do find it odd that he would give you his two cents. Sure, it's just two cents, but who gives two cents to a person for starting a thread. Sometimes you guys are weird.

It's only two cents. Nigel trolled him and ghost lost it. Nigel is a sad sack of shit. He's got to be retired because he spends all day trolling.

I thought about going to the PSU game tomorrow. I decided to skip it, but regret that decision.

Also, now that you have made that public, OTPT will most likely camp out for the two cents.

OTPT is already there. When he was posting from a car in the Corley thread, where do you think he was going?

I woke up around 6:00. Took the dog for a quick walk (it's cold out...I didn't want to risk my life). Then went to the gym. Stopped at Publix on the way home to get some stuff, and then made brunch. I will be watching the hoops game, and then some NFL.

I am available for questions throughout the day.

Just start a thread titled...HELP ME!!!
