Good idea for me! (I'm in Tucson)  I'll bet we wouldn't get very many people
though.  I know some good, free, places to camp near Zion National Park,
specifically, in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park (UT).  This would still
be quite a drive for most of the Cal. people though (a good 100 miles
past Lost Wages NV).

And probably too far from *anybody*!

Well, we've got four people in AZ now, maybe we could have our own little
get together??
