Natasha could not have been more helpful in making our reservation.

Hot Damn! All that and more.

I'm booked. See you there

Booked for one, Flag and Prescott. And wanting a XL shirt... this looks like fun. I'm about ready for it too!

Booked for one, three nights, confirmation #'s noted. One XXL "T" shirt. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Thanks for doing this again John. Put me on the list. Brewery, canyon and banquet.

Please make your room reservations quickly. Both hotels expect to be Sold Out.

MapQuest says the Grand Canyon drive is 3 1/2 hours. I expect it to take longer.
It is 100 miles up and 80 miles back on the planned loop.
There are 8 restaurants in the Village area to pick from for lunch.

The Saturday drive is much shorter. A little over 2 hours of seat time. Only 100 miles or so.
Sedona will be our first pit stop / photo opp.
There is also the art studio in Cottonwood.
The road in and out of Jerome is fantastic.
There are numerous lunch options in Cornville, Cottonwood and Jerome.


As is the custom starting time both days is 9:14 am.

Hooked and Booked. We're in for two of everything.
Edit: 1 men's XL & 1 ladies med

Hi John - put me down for a M t-shirt please. Already booked my rooms. See y'all there.

If I'm in AZ that week I'd try and make at least one day.
From experience, the drive from Flagstaff to Prescott is priceless, especially 89A in Oak Creek Canyon. You won't be disappointed!!
Roads around Jerome also amazing... good choices!!

Participation dependant on me having the 914. It's just not the same experience without the

This should be a blast!

I'm in for all the events!

Count me in for 2 at the banquet! WOW a local event in Prescott!!

John,

please put me down for one of everything
shirt size? large I guess

thank you sir!
brant

All booked! Giddyup!

Thanks for organizing JP!

Booked! John can you make it 1 Med. male and 1 Med. Female?

Booked!

I had a nice conversation with a WORLD member who is also a long time Sedona resident.
He gave me some local insider information to help make our Saturday jaunt even better.

Our tour will now also include a scenic drive on Beaver Head road and a visit to Cornville.
Come on. With names like that, you know it has to be good.

My wife just changed her shirt to a men's large. To quote Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber. "I was waaay off!".

EXCELLENT, a local Prescott member to lead us on the 7:00 pm Historic Downtown Walking Tour. Please..?.


Welcome jat. We are glad you will be joining us.
The group should arrive at the hotel between 3 and 4. Come hang out with us.
We will be the ones in the parking lot acting silly and trying to keep each other from setting things on fire.

What are the auto x fee's?
And are only red cars running again?

It's a fee free frolicking festival.





In my experience on these drives, the cars have sorted themselves into 2 classes:

A.) Over 2.0 liters. those that can pass going up hill.

B.) Under 2.0 liters. those that will pass going down hill.

Cool!

If I make this one it would be by air! I can rent a car but anyone coming from somewhere with an airport that wants a passenger?

Jamie, I'll be driving down but in my Subaru so you may feel somewhat comfortable. It would be closer to fly into Phoenix fer sher, but thought I'd offer...

I am a maybe as well. Two years ago I got as far as St Louis, but if Rick shows up I can't use weather as an excuse. Doubt the six conversion will be on its tires by then so I better check out the 4 for everything that could break.

That's the Spirit! I'm hoping my back problem is under control by then... long story.

Hotel is booked for Friday (Flagstaff) and Saturday (Prescott). We might be able to escape Durango on Thursday but won't know for another couple of weeks.

PS: You gotta love the address of the hotel in Flagstaff .

Uh oh, what's up with the back Rick? And furthermore, where in the Hell is Slits? Calling Ron; get your name up on da list.

Don't forget your wine tumblers!

Jason - they are already in the car!

Your back?! Mine always hurts like the Dickens by the end of the day. I understand that the southwest cures that sort of thing. Two feet of snow April 27? You can be like the millennium falcon zooming away from peril. Well it could happen.

If SLITS isn't there, why even bother going. I hope you can show up Ron.

Motor back in and partially hooked up
But have to pull the fuel tank/wiper motor, and stereo still
(Oh and change pads/oil/and 50 more things)

I played hookie today and wrenched to get ready

Clock is ticking...

Ron. ?

Considering the trip...

Highlighted the thread though.

Hook up with Worn and meet us south on I35. If the stars align I want to leave like Tuesday after work and get at least to southern MN. We usually get a room the first night and leave at the crack of 8 ish... Then drive as far as we can til around 8-9 pm. Grab a room where we can and we will be in Flag Staff for Thursday with no effort. If I am by myself I usually put on over 1k miles a day. I'm not sure how I will do this year.. It sitting in the car that's the worse.

Thanks Mark. We really are *official* now.

BTW - Two of the local recommended lunch options for Saturday include G Burger in Cornville and Haunted Hamburger in Jerome.

I've been to the Hauntedhamburger in Jerome. Cool story behind some of the items hanging in the restaurant.. if you like ghost stories that is.

You have exactly 91.4 days, from sunrise Thursday, to complete your projects and get your to Flagstaff for the *official* start of the 12th annual Route 66 Classic.

Unfortunately I gonna have to bow out. Life's other issues have taken over.... Maybe next year....

I just booked my rooms.

1200 miles will let me better tune my mps for the 2056. Mileage vs heat. rich vs lean. So we have a contingent from the wine country of the midwest. I moved here from El Cerrito Mark. How's the snowblower working?

I've had some burgers come back to haunt me, but none of the stories are very, er ..cool.

Not sure how many hours a day my back will go. But I drove here from Seattle last summer. In a car with all of the amenities..
I may leave as early as Monday and keep in touch so I can watch for an Alien blur in the rearview.

Woo Hoo! I hope to be in the middle of a Southwest Exploration Tour in my Syncro Westy during this time, so as long as a Vanagon camper with a Subie EG33 isn't too much of a drag.....I'm in. Rooms booked.

I've followed threads of this event for many years, now I get to see if the myths are true.
