I've formalized plans for the Summer Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) and the finalized dates are:
June 16-26, 2016
Here is the blog post about it:

And here is a video about it:

Some Question and Answers about it:
Will there be good internet and cell signal? We will have a very good Verizon internet and cell signal in camp.
Is it a nice camp? It's a beautiful spot with the world's largest Ponderosa Pine Forest, but it also has several open areas with fields and views of 12,000 foot Mt Humphrey.
Does it cost anything? We will be dispersed camping in the Coconino National Forest so it will be free. There are no charges at all for the event.
How's the weather going to be? The weather is generally very good then, possibly a little on the hot side, but hot means about 90 at the most and in the shade of the Ponderosa Pines it's not a problem at all.
Can I get supplies nearby? Flagstaff is a large town and has everything you could possibly want for shopping, including many great outdoor stores. You can easily buy filtered water in town for 25 cents a gallon or get free city tap water at the Pilot truck stop. You can easily dump your trash numerous places.
What's the road like? We'll be very close to town, just 5 miles on the I-40 and you're in the heart of Flagstaff. We'll be camped on a dirt road that is generally in very good shape, although at times there can be some washboard.
Can my big rig make it into camp? Is it welcome? Any size rig can make it into camp; from a low-slung Prius to the largest Class A, all are welcome and will fit.
Is Flagstaff nice? Flagstaff is a college town; the Northern Arizona University is there and has about 30,000 students. Because of that it's very artsy and it has a wonderful, old downtown area that is a joy to explore. There are an abundance of outdoor stores.
Is it practical to bring a tent, will the wind be a problem? Yes, tents will do very well! While I generally discourage tents at the winter RTR because of the wind, the Forest does not really have many big winds. A tent will work great!
Map to it. (It's possible, but unlikely it could be in a different location--it will be within 5 miles of here for sure)
