As always I'm flexible, so we will probably just leave whenever you guys pull in!
You will most likely want to get out, stretch your legs, meet people and shoot the breeze for a while in Williams, if so, you should try to leave a bit earlier - we don't want to get to the Canyon at noon (it's hotter, and a bad time for pictures with sun straight up, too many shadows).
Thoughts?

As long as we have to taffic delays we should be there around 9 am so we can leave the KOA around 9:15 or so, enough to say hi meet everyone and hit the road. We can always chit chat at the GC and once we get back to the camp site.
I agree we dont want to get up to the GC very late due to the shadows. I went a couple of summers ago and we took the train out of williams up there and every though that was fun, it gets up there kinda late for good photos.
We got lucky and had cloud cover so that helped out.
Az members any thoughts?

Perhaps you could shoot her a call tomorrow and see what's the deal? (You've just been Deputized!)
Thanks!

Called the KOA and talked with someone other than Rene (she was out).
They have 6 spaces total, "rented" to anyone from Western States/Region HHR Club. She is suggested that other people have probably rented under only their personal names.
She also suggested those that did not mention the HHR Club should recontact them at 800 562-9379 and indicate the HHR group.....so the quantity discount can be given....and she can group Club members together..... I already have reconfirmed.

Good job "Deputy" Snoop I know I told them about the club I also had to talk to someone else. She did find the info and booked me under the discounted price even though at the time we were a few short.
I would suggest anyone who did not say anything about the HHR club to callback so we can get the discount

Uh, which parking lot? I'm unfamiliar with the Anthem Outlet Mall. How many from the Valley plan to meet there? If we get lucky, we (Tucson folks) might be able to get to Anthem a little before 9. (Fingers crossed).

scared me when I read 9. If I remember there is the sign for the mall onin the parking lot. I think that would be the best spot. I think there are only a couple of HHRs from Phoenix going up Sat. morning with us. So we should have 4-5 HHRs making the trip in the morning. Let me know if you want I will send you my cell phone number.
