Nugget Shooter 4,552 Posted October 1, 2014 OK the fall outing is on for the 7th to 9th of November 2014 at Gold Basin in the same spot we have done this for many years now, I think 11 or so outings it has been....Just wanting to relax and get together with some Nugget Shooter Forum members and all forum members are welcome to attend as are Face Book friends. I will be supplying smoked brisket and pork roast for the Saturday night dinner. This is a POT LUCK on Saturday and side dishes are up to those attending and if you are gonna eat please bring something to share and these potlucks are always fun!Please post in this thread if you plan to attend so we may get a head count of sorts... See you there!Here are directions to the camp area...From Pierce Ferry Road you turn onto Greggs Hideout Road and you will see a row of mailboxes at:N35' 46.911 W114' 07.734Go almost 3 miles from the mailboxes to intersection with big yellow sign and black arrow pointing left onto Spring Drive at: N35' 49.326 W114' 09.176At the end of Spring Drive turn right and you are back on Hideout Road and the second cattle guard is just ahead at: N35' 49.362 W114' 10.056Stay on Hideout Road and cross over second cattle guard at Hideout and Gladiola Drives. Proceed straight on Hideout Road till you come to the MPA28 sign at: N35' 52.808 W114' 10.524Turn left here onto the road that runs along the left side of Hideout Road then turn left at bottom of slight hill at: N35' 52.995 W114' 10.553Turn right at fork at end of road at: N35'52.996 W114'11.582 MORE TO FOLLOW:HERE IS THE REST:Turn left at the "Y" in the road at: N5235' 53.697 W114' 12.329The GOLD BASIN sign will be on your left at: N35' 52.952 W114' 13.725Proceed straight a good stones throw till you reach the fabled Joshua tree with the firpit nearby at: N35' 52.882 W114' 13.837Here is a link to a driving map from Kingman to Gold Basin Rd, alternate route would be Stockton Hills Road from Kingman to Peirce Ferry Road.http://maps.google.c...mra=ls&t=h&z=10Joining the GPAA would be a good idea since we are camping on their claim and you will also be able to hunt there if a member. Otherwise I may try to get JB to let us hunt his property...See ya there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shep 194 Posted October 2, 2014 Know it's GPAA, but any thoughts on replanting another brush (tree)? or is that even legal? I'm a Clamper and think about things like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROGERD 16 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I will bring some desert item.Shep......You don't want to be digging up and transplanting anything. The tree huggers won't like that. Edited October 2, 2014 by ROGERD 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azdigger 1,474 Posted October 8, 2014 I am going to try and make it on Sat. , mostly depends on what the Docs got to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunk 4 Posted October 11, 2014 For the folks that have never been to Gold Basin, I made up these signs to help get you to camp. Remember this is dry camping and you must bring all your needs. also there is no fire wood to be had in the area, so if we all bring a little we should have pleanty. Make sure a respond to the poll as that is how we will plan for enough chow on Sat evening. So far the long range weather is looking real good, highs in the mid 80's and lows mid 50's, we are still a month out so this could change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mn90403 907 Posted October 12, 2014 Bunk,You are making it too easy!We always had fun hearing the stories about how people got lost and couldn't turn around.Maybe we could point the signs in the wrong direction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,498 Posted October 12, 2014 Or perhaps make one of the markers a four way marker ... you then get to choose which way to go! Mike F 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
