The 4th Annual Route 66 Ramble 2008, is just around the corner. Scheduled for March 7-9.
NOW is the time to make your plans to attend.

The event will start with a BBQ in Scottsdale on Friday March 7th at Michael Wills home.
Saturdays twisty drive will take us to the northern part of Arizona to the town of Winslow on Historic Route 66. The route will take you from the Sonoran Desert of the Phoenix area through the pine forests of the Payson, Pine, and Strawberry area north to Winslow. You know, “Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, ……”

The Host Hotel for Saturday night will be the historic LA POSADA.
BOOK YOUR ROOM NOW IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND. Book a room now if you even think you might attend. There are only 20 rooms available. The price is $99. For a few dollars more you can get a balcony, jacuzzi or fire place.

The La Posada is a really cool place. This National Historic Landmark is located on Route 66. Look here for more photos.

For more information, PM me or call at 602-291-3525.

I can be a little more specific.

Meet at the Coffee Plantation on Shea Rd./72nd Street at 8:00
Leave Scottsdale at 9:14 heading north east
Coffee stop in Payson
11:00 +/- proceed north to Pine, Strawberry
Still working on a lunch stop
Then on to Winslow. Hotel check in and group dinner.

Sunday, everyone is on their own. Some will head West on 40 to California/Nevada, some East to New Mexico/Colorado. Others will return South to Phoenix.

FWIW, this has never been a big event but it always proven to be a great drive and a great group. Last year was a little more "official" than previous years with the event ending up in Laughlin after some crazy roads and white knuckle drives. This years run looks to be shaping up as another great drive through some very fun and winding roads here in AZ. Make it if you can!

we're building a 2056 for my sons 73 and am hoping to have it on the road soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) i am having a big delay with p&c issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) it would be really cool to make the run and meet some az. 914r's. i'd be coming from the central valley area in calif. i lived in tempe years ago and the mother in law lived in kingman for years until recently.

i'm assuming/figuring you'll probably come up 93 to 40 to laughlin? about how many miles do you usually cover?

Just follow Slits. Then when he gets stopped for speeding, just wave and keep going. No, really, it's fun.
Cheers, Elliot

Alright GINT!!!


Mike (Orange).. Central Valley, is that San Bernadino area? (forgive me I'm not from Cali). If so, just take I-10 to FEEENIX (Scottsdale).. easy drive. You can get back via 40, etc.

naw... it's more or less inland of the s.f. bay area about an hour. in the last 15 years i've done the kingman trip to the inlaws 2x's a year- 99s to 58 to 40 - 9 hrs. i absolutely love the drive! the kids have grown up knowing the freedoms of shootin' and wheelin' the kingman desert. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) i miss it though as since my accident the mother in law moved to ohio, no more trips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) i did live in tempe as a 18 year old, i know it has really changed since.

i dont think the motor will be together in time with all the delays, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) but i'll follow the progress anyway

That would be awesome Mike. All I hear from "other" people in CO is a bunch of wining that it is too far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

I really dig automobile history and the Route 66 thing.

They just don't really appreciate a good road trip.
