That day works for me. I think it depends on the number of people who are really going to attend. If it a large group I say meet at a park if it only like 8-10then I say boulder. It going to be hard getting a lot of people in a restaurant.

I'm in,  my son doesn't have anything with baseball that day so I'm down for whatever we choose.

By "Boulders", I assume you mean the Boulders OHV Area (near Lake Pleasant), and not The Boulders resort (in Carefree).

There are some great trails out at the Boulders OHV Area.  For those that haven't been, it's a few miles west of the turnoff for Lake Pleasant (at mile marker 11.5 on the north side of SR74 - aka Carefree Highway).

See the link below for more information about Boulders OHV Area (#19 on the list):

Here is a map of the general vicinity:

Please be advised that this area is a mixture of State Trust Land (need a permit), and BLM lands (no permit).  I have never been asked for my State Trust Land permit, but it is a good idea to have a current one.

Hey Ted. Boulders he's talking about is the bar/restaurant  in Tempe on Broadway.

[Jo-BOB]

Put me down as tenative. Depends on my gf's schedue, but would like to go.

New to the group and would like to meet up with more people. I would be in for either location, I live in the east valley so would be closer to home for me. If donations are needed to help by a liquor permit for the Ramada I would be willing to contribute.

Ya I was talking about the restaurant but looks like I'll be exploring this weekend

[WHPIVxterra]

I am in at the moment as long as my drill weekend isn't then

The Boulders OHV Area is a fun place to offroad!  Some high-speed stuff, some technical stuff, a few climbs / descents, etc., etc.  There are a lot of dirt bikes and quads near the trailhead, but once you get out of the staging area, the crowds thin out.

The map that I linked to shows the 22-mile loop.  That is a really fun trail (actually several trails linked together).  Good scenery, good climbs.  There are also a whole bunch of side trails that connect in to the main ones shown on the map.  Makes for a good day of wheeling.

Holy Shit. Ive lived here 20 years and have never heard of this. Its pretty much in my back yard. I mean Ive been so close to it and never knew it was there. I see this happening in my very soon future,

[WHPIVxterra]

BOOM i am in! no drill for this guy

[AWIZRD]

List my wife and I as 'Tentative'....The only reason we may not be there is that I'm still waiting for my Lift and ARB bumper to get here and if it happens that the install will be on Mar 7th, I'll give you three guesses where I'll be

If I'm honest a meet and greet at Boulders would be easiest for me.  I wouldn't have to worry about getting a ton of things together and renting a Ramada.  Also, Boulders has a great beer selection and good food.  AZXC could sponsor appetizers and everyone could purchase any drinks they would like.

I'm cool with that. If you need help setting up Avis let me know maybe we can call ahead and get a table set up/reservation?
