7th Annual Circling of the Montana's Schedule, Activities and Directions - 2012
Good news....we are in the same spot as last year
The center of the universe is located at:
N33*45.861'
W114*10.516'
The circle is scribed and ready to be occupied. We will have room for 51 rigs in the circle this year. There are two of us here so far and five more showing up today
Below are the pictures of the signs to look for:
First sign you will see where you need to turn off the pavement to the circle:
Second sign you will see directing you to the circle:
Directions:
Plomosa Road is about 6 miles NORTH of the intersection of Main Street and AZ-95 in downtown Quartzsite.
From Quartzsite drive NORTH on AZ-95 past mile marker 114, turn RIGHT (EAST) onto Plomosa Road.
Drive 2.8 miles, turn LEFT at Montana Sign onto BLM land.
Turn LEFT again (there will be a 2nd sign).....look for lots of Montana's and flags....about 1/4 mile WEST.
The GPS coordinates are:
N33*45.861'
W114*10.510'
Once you arrive at the site we will direct you to your parking spot. We only have room for 51 rigs in the circle. If you do not want to be in the circle let us know. Once the circle is full, you will be directed to an area outside of the circle but still very close to the group.
If at all possible, please bring firewood!!!
