Well, here's yet another year I won't be there ... still have too many irons in the fire. Recently got back from AZ late in February and had our annual Mojave Desert camping trip, middle of March. We need to be at function in LB on 4/28, and then run back to AZ again in May to finish up some carpentry repairs & exterior painting. I've been spending way too much time on the road to try sneaking another long trip in between
Have fun and post a lot of pix/videos ...

One week to go, time to get your car off jack stands and ready for Rt 66.
Friday's plan is to stop for lunch at Arrowhead Bar & Grill in Congress, AZ. I called and they can handle our group size. I have not been there but it got good reviews. This also the Shuttle location for the Arizona Hot Shots Memorial. The memorial is 5 miles north of Congress and the parking lot only has 13 spaces so we'll need to take the shuttle. For those that feel inclined to hike up to the memorial trail, bring appropriate footwear and some water. The total hike is 7 miles but it's an out-and-back so you can go as far as you like. More info is
HERE. . Note the "out" part has a fair amount of climbing. Those not wanting to hike can continue the drive along Rt 89A to the hotel in Prescott.
I'm thinking Saturday's lunch stop will be in Old Town Cottonwood but we can adjust as needed; there's plenty of small towns along Saturday's drive.
See you next week.....

Where are those heading east on I-10 from So. Cal meeting up Thursday morning? Based on the discussion back on page 8 of this thread, I thought it was going to be 9:00 at the "In-n-Out on Ramon Dr & the 10." I've made arrangement to stay in Palm Desert Wednesday night. If the group is now going to meet in Cabazon at 8, can you swing by the In-N-Out to pick up those of us who are gathering there? What time?
Really don't want to leave earlier than necessary and backtrack 25 miles.

Does anyone want to meet at the Tustin Cars & Coffee at around 6:30am Thursday morning? There’s no cars & Coffee Thursday morning, but it’s right off of the 55 for us south Orange County Guys heading to 91 East. We could easily make it to Cabazon by 8.

We could swing by, it’s around 25 miles down the 10. Get there around 8:30
Or just skip Cabazon and drive straight to in & out on Ramon.

If we leave Tustin Cars & Coffee at 6:30 or 6:00 (either works for me), it will get us to Cabazon at around 7:30 and then get to In&Out at 8. Leave In&out no later than 8:30. I think everyone will be happy with that. If no one wants to meet in Tustin, I will drive straight to Cabazon. There's a burger king there. I can get a high cholesterol breakfast.

Okay, you guys may want to check on your hotel reservations.
