The 4x4 Ham Field Day site has change from where we were located last year. It is still in the Milk Ranch Point area NW of Payson, AZ, but we are going to be a little further east this year. Please check back to this thread before departing as there is still a possibility we have to move due to forest closures or other circumstances.

Everyone is coming from a different location, so use the Google Maps link below to determine best route. From the west valley and Phoenix area, you will probably want to take I-17 north through Camp Verde. Mesa and east valley folks will probably want to take Hwy. 87 through Payson.
Click here for Google Maps and enter your starting point under A on the left.

From the intersection of Hwy. 260 and Hwy. 87, it is approximately 2.5 miles to the FR300 road turn off. Look for the brown sign and turn right. Once you are on gravel, it is approximately 4 miles to the Field Day site. We will have signs out from this point. About 100 yards from Hwy. 87 on FR300, you want to keep right onto FR218 and across the cattle guard. After a couple miles, there is another intersection where you will want to keep left, continuing on FR218. If you get to a 2nd cattle guard, you've gone too far. Call us on 147.52Mhz simplex.
Here's a map with a lot of red arrows. haha.
