Tucson Az 12-30-06?

[azdesertrhino]

Just checking interest. Anyone want to get out on Saturday 12-30-06 and do something kind of easy.

We can go out and play on the rocks at Chimney Rock or do Redington Loop or go play at 3 Feathers some.

If interested the details:

Meet at: Circle K on Tanque Verde east of Houghton Rd.

Time: 0800, leave 0830

CB: Channel 4

Depending on which we decide to do, may need to bring lunch etc.

See if we can get a group together. The following weekend I'm "on call" so no play time that weekend for Jim.

[XJ20]

Count me in. I can go for the whole day.

[CommandoXJ96]

i may already be on another run; but if that doesn't end up happening I will be there. (looks like a 50/50 chance)

[TUFFXJ]

Im in, and pulling for Chimney Rock, I like the rocks and its a better place to just hang out and watch people while relaxin:rof:

[CommandoXJ96]

chimney would be good, chiva gets boring after the 100th time in a row.

Yah only so many lines to try

I'm up for Chimney Rock. I like playing out there and need to get some good pix and video!!party1:

[XJSROCK]

I'm up for any trail in Tucson I haven't done, which means all of them but half of one ;). Unfortunately I won't make it this time. Thanks Matt, I forgot to mention the welding that had to be done on my bumper too. Hopefully I can get everything repaired soon. It's refreshing to find an XJ club where the runs are actually led by XJs. If you guys happen to run across a couple of KC light covers there in Tucson snatch them up will you?
Think about coming up here for a run or two before the weather changes. Have fun and Merry Christmas!!. Sandy

[AZRockRunner]

Well, My XJ is still gassed and ready to go from the last run I missed due to kidney stones. I am scheduled for Surgery Thursday but its supposed to be a simple outpatient thing so I am hoping to make it. I need to flex up my rig with the new trimming and larger tires. + I just really would like to end the year on a trail run instead of a driveway run. LOL

:gee:

[Fergie]

Willing to let a stock Yota go along with you guys? I can't wheel the wife's WJ right now.

I've got the necessary safety items and such.

I think we can handle that,as long as the rig can handle it, unless someone else objects i don't have any problems with it.

We have Steve running a J-20 truck with us until his XJ is done!

Looking forward to meeting you!

[Fergie]

Chimney shouldnt be bad to get to, though I may not play around too much.

Who knows.

Well said!

[XJ20]

Well I might bring the cherokee out this trip. I have taken my xj to chimney rock before. What’s the plan for the day besides crawling on some boulders? Is there anyone thinking about going down to three feathers later or running the chimney rock trail a bit? If so I’ll prolly bring the truck.

I think it’s great if members want to bring their other rig to an event. The participation would be welcome.

[AZRockRunner]

:eyes: Personally I dont care what people wheel out there as long as there safe and capable, then lets roll. I used to wheel a lifted 93 dodge dakota with jeeps, thats how I QUICKLY realized that cheap RULE and bought one.

I say Bring it, Wheel it, and ROCKon baby!!!!!!

See ya Saturday!!!!!

Im not "Planning" on going to 3 feathers or doing the trail. I really like the area right there around the bolder farm up to the fence line and it is a great place to just pull out a table and chairs and watch people climb stuff..thats our plans but you know how the plans can change:sure:

[AZRockRunner]

ya, we wont talk about how plans go, LOL

As of now, my plan is to go and bring my mother along. She is from Washington and has NEVER been wheeling in the desert. I probably wont do ALOT of crazy wheelin, since I will have her along, but ya just never know....

Looking forward to it.:yelclap:

[bigazxj]

ill be there im down for whatever just chillin or running some of the trail.
dosent matter to me.

got most all bugs worked out of this set up so hopefully no more videos that the title involves "justin broke his (insert part here) here"

justin..

[azdesertrhino]

Sounds like everyone is cool with just going out to Chimney Rock and playing in the rocks for a while. Maybe hang aound and have some lunch etc. Sounds cool to me.

See y'all at the Circle K aound 8 a.m. Saturday! :wave:

[Fergie]

I'll most likely be bringing a city slicker from back east, so it will be his first time wheeling, should be lots of fun.

[Fergie]

Alright guys, LilRhody is up in Phx, and would like to come down and ride along if someone has an extra seat.

Anyone here have a spot in their vehicle for an Eastern transplant?

I'm sure we could find a spot to stuff him, i have a back seat he is welcome to

[XJ20]

I’ll have an open seat in the truck if none in the xj’s. I’m going to bring the truck so I can swing by three feathers, maybe frog holler afterwards if there’s time.

Bring him on, worse comes to worse I can strap him to my roof rack, I don't have a back seat in my rig!!

I'm sure we can find a place for him. Steve offered a seat in the J-20, that's a nice rig!!

[LilRhodyXJ]

Thanks for the hospitality Jim :D

Fergie Pm'd me this mourning asking me if I'd like to go. I told him I almost asked in this thread yesterday but felt bad. So if anyone would be willing to let me tag along I'd be thrilled. Just need to know where to meet you and about how long your thinking of going for. Thanks guys!

[CommandoXJ96]

Well it looks like I won't be meeting you guys out there. But I did catch Zipdrive playing in the snow this afternoon up there.

LOL, I thought that was your red racer..had the troop out in the snow. knuckleheads:confused1 had MT Lemon closed...whats the point if they wont let you up there!!!

[AZRockRunner]

ZipDrive in the snow, that explains why he didnt answer his phone when I called. And he wonders why his ringer is the Mission Impossible song. LOL

I will have the back seat open if someone wants to cram in there.

:flame: :flame:

[XJ20]

Here is the location of the circle k. We should be heading down the mtn in the afternoon so bring lunch. There’s plenty of room in the cooler.

Supposed to be sunny but it will be a little cool. Might be a little wet with all the rain we've had the past couple of days. Plan accordingly!:D

Someone on WAZ was saying there is over a foot of snow at reddington right now.

Might be fun to do some snow wheeling in Tucson!

[LilRhodyXJ]

Sounds good fellas thanks for the chance to ride!

[azdesertrhino]

Just came in from checking everything out. Fluids checked, bolts checked etc etc!

Everyone gets to meet Mrs. AZDesertRhino tomorrow. Yea, she really exists! :woohoo:

Really looking forward to the run and meeting some of the folks I haven't met yet!

See y'all 0800 at the Circle K. I'll probably be there a little early getting my ducks in a row and a hot cup of coffee!!

[AZRockRunner]

Sure she exists Jim, we all believe you!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Just kidding, see you there around 8:00am. Should we set a departure time for those that are coming from Phoneix and the such? Maybe pulling out no later than 8:30?

If I had rock lights I would go tonight, I wanna go so bad. LOL

:explosion

[LilRhodyXJ]

Im getting up at 545 to leave from Scottsdale I will be there for 8:30. My parents are going up Mt Lemmon to the observatory and then exploring Tucson for the day. Anything you guys can recommend for them to do thats cool?

-AR

[Fergie]

Mt. Lemmon will be packed with folks. Try the Desert Museum if they like wildlife, or there are several museums and decent shopping in/around campus.

LETS SEE THE PICS

[azdesertrhino]

Getting pictures and video ready but what an awesome day.

Started with 3 XJ's and a J-20 truck (Steve didn't bring the XJ out of mothballs yet :rolleyes: GRIN!!)

Hooked up with a Range Rover that got stood up by some folks that were supposed to meet him and his guests.

Gavin (Fergie) and his guest Josh (hope I got that right) hooked up with us later in the day.

Also had Andrew (Lil RhodyXJ) riding with Justin. That might have been a mistake. I know I heard Andrew say more than once he was on the verge of dying!! :gag: Was great meeting all the folks I hadn't met before and all got to meet Mrs. AZDesertRhino.:party:

Cool weather , saw some snow, saw a fair amount of mud and got to play on the rocks. Excellent company, wheeling and weather. It doesn't get any better.

Thanks to all! It was a really great day!

[Fergie]

I've got some vid and lots of pics coming too. That was Josh's first time off roading, so thanks for the good show.

Looking forward to it again!

It was great to meet both you and Josh. I didn't hear any screaming from Josh J/K!! :yelclap:

I'm impressed with the way the Az Chapter has begun. Looking forward to setting up some runs upstate!! I think we're on the right track.

Going to start a different thread for pix posts etc. Be up in a few minutes.
