EVENT: 2019 Morel Foray #2

DATE: Sunday, May 5, 2019

DESTINATION: Mogollon Rim area


PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:

  • You will NOT be able to register for this foray, or any of the other May 2019 morel forays, until just after midnight on May 1. 
  • On May 1 and May 2, please register for only ONE of the May 2019 forays. That way all members get a better chance at going on at least one trip.
  • On and after May 3,  you can register for any of the forays that still have space available, or add yourself to the waiting list for those that are full.
  • Please register yourself as the "Foray Registrant", then add a Guest registration for every adult in your household who is coming on the foray. They each need to consent to the Terms of Use & Liability Waiver.
  • Please make sure that the names of any minor children you are bringing appear in the "Children" field on your registration form. 
  • Please arrive with a full tank of gas, water, and  lunch.

MEETING PLACE: If you are coming up from the Phoenix or Tucson areas, we'll meet at the McDonald's Restaurant, SE corner of Highways 87 & 260, Payson, AZ. (Those arriving from other directions should check their email after 6 pm on Saturday for a possible alternate meeting place.)

MEETING TIME: 9:00 AM

MYCOLOGY SKILL LEVEL: Any

THEME: Fire Morel harvest; only limited instruction. You should take a moment to learn the difference between true and false morels if you've never hunted them before.

PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVEL: Moderate. You should be able to walk 2 miles on uneven ground at 7000 feet of elevation. 

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS: Accessible to most passenger cars, although low-slung vehicles like sports cars and Priuses may have difficulty.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS: We suggest you bring a basket, soft brush, knife, emergency whistle, cell phone, lunch, snacks, and water. Keep in mind that we will be on a burn site, and your shoes and clothes will become sooty and muddy.

EXPECTED WEATHER: Sunny, 70's.

LODGING: Payson, Forest Lakes, and Mormon Lake have hotels.

ALTERNATE DESTINATION: Sedona area. (Check your emails on Saturday evening by 6:00 pm, in case plans have changed.)

FORAY CAPTAIN: Chris May, 480-326-6863, ccmaymd@gmail.com.  Brown Toyota Tacoma with winch and camper shell, AZ license plate XRAYDOC.

As always, it is possible that no morels or few morels will be found, and you must be prepared for this possible disappointment. It is also possible that high winds, significant snowfall, flooding, thunderstorms, or other unforeseen circumstances may require a foray to be cancelled or brought to an early end. At this point, the forecast calls for warm sunny weather, but you will be notified by a pre-foray email that will go out Saturday afternoon if this changes.
