Hey everyone.....
Summer is flyin by........we are all busy....man do I KNOW that!!!! (stupid pools)
BUT.....we need to get together.
When Tammy and I were in Big Bear, there was interest in people coming to wheel AZ with us.......WU WHO!!!!

Lets get together and start planning an event, this will take alot of work to even come close to what the KJ West guys do!! I know of a volunteer to coordinate the event, we just need to put our heads & jeeps together and start working out the details!!!!
Lets Do IT!!!!

Dan

HOw about a Fall run in the Tank mountains?
I am thinking we will be in AZ end of OCt, over Halloween weekend. We will try to Leave for home on Monday, So Sat. or Sun should be open for Wheelin'. I will nail it down as we get closer.

Fiso and I were talking about doing a copper creek run the weekend of 7/23 or 7/24. Copper creek is an old ghost town in the Galiura mountains near mammoth. From what I hear the trail is not difficult so stock rigs could come along. I believe there are some optional areas for more challenging routes towards the top.

Here's a link-

Next weekend sounds good to me, either day...I will have to let you know as it gets closer though. I might be going to Young again, just depends on if I am needed or not. We have got to do a run up there sometime...

Pam Courts · **Posted:** Wed Jul 13, 2005 10:06 pm

Garland and I would definitely be up for a run in Sept. or Oct. Only about 4 hours away...we're there. Vern those Copper Creek pics look awesome! Ghost town & mining tailings...now you're speakin' our language! Woooohoooo!

Alright...I'm back in. Everything is fixed except the overheating problem. We need to have a run and an organized get together to talk about the 1st Annual LOST AZ Run. Anyone running this Sunday?

Yeah they do....they even gave us a sticker !!!

and...they even get their own personal spotters ('your not going to take your cars out there are you ?")<-----Vern's spotter talkin !

As long as it's not during a "major" holiday weekend im good to go...I don't have enough seniority at work to get those days off !

It will be great to see Garland and Pam too ! (miss you guys)

dynamike · **Posted:** Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:34 pm

Awesome!!!...some good response!!!!

OK guys/gals.........a AZ get together to have a short planning meeting to HOST a national run in Oct.....WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!.....
It sounds like we have some interest, lets get rolling on this!!!!

How about a breakfast meeting Sunday July 24th....near/in Tuscon...we can get details started, and then go for a good ride.......Vern...suggested, copper canyon.....
LETS ROLL........if we are going to treat these KJ West guys/gals to some AZ trail ridin and hospitality in Oct. we NEED to get started planning!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!
All in favor say.........JEEP!!!!!
date & time.....and bring some committment!!! AZ LOST ROCKS!!!!!

FUNNMUD · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2005 12:28 pm

I'll be there! I just talked a friend of mine into getting a Jeep...he didnt get a Liberty, but a Jeep none the less, I think he is going to come with us if thats ok. He wants to break the 4x4 in.
I will be available all day so anytime is good for me. I dont know any places in Tucson so I am not much help there, but I will keep checking back to see when and where

To those in Phx area...who wants to Caravan?

oldhockeyvb · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2005 3:26 pm

Fiso:
I remember you saying copper creek was an all day run. Would we have time for a breakfast meeting and the run too? Starting point for the run is in Mammoth. We'd probably have to meet early, say 7:30-8 AM in Mammoth to do a meeting and a run.

dynamike · **Posted:** Fri Jul 15, 2005 8:39 pm

Vern has a good point......
I KNOW, I need to get on the trail too.........BUT, I think a short meeting to get things rolling for Oct. is really important........How far is mammoth from the Valley???
Copper Creek sounds good......BUT, will we have enough time for a meeting and a run???
Remember...some of us have a ways to go.......insert whine

...kidding
Its up to you guys......if you think we have enough time for a meeting...and copper creek....so be it.......if not, then maybe we should pick a shorter ride. I really want us to have a meeting, with ideas, etc. on hosting a national AZ LOST run, and if its going to be Oct..........we have LOTS of stuff to do......

Hey,

I might not be able to attend. I'm taking the Jeeplet in to have my Powertrax installed this Friday the 22nd (the good news), but the bad news is that I think I'm losing an upper control arm (or whell bearings, or who knows what). If that's the case, I probably won't get her back till Monday. In my absence, can someone take some notes and forward them to me. I can type them up and distribute.

Thanks!

Todd

Is there a set place and time yet?

corwyyn · **Posted:** Mon Jul 18, 2005 12:43 am

I should be able to make it down. I have next sunday off; my company has a policy about not working more than 13 days in a row (which of course they only follow occasionally). Anyway, I'm asking th e same question as Travis - where and when? And are we gonna run afterwards? If not I'm going to come back to PHX and try installing my new ARMOR (thanks dynamike!).
