AZFJ's
Earnhardt Toyota would like to have our fine group at 6136 East Auto Loop Avenue Mesa, AZ 85206 to have Coffee and Donuts in the morning Afterwards, we will go to do a trail run at Box Canyon, Florence AZ. We will have fun and go back for a post trail gathering at Earnhardt Toyota where we will line up our rigs as if they were the Rockettes. They will provide lunch for us. Rumor has it they may have some swagg to give away. It would be nice to have a strong gathering for this event. We can promote ourselves and also continued interest in trail safety, clean up and Tread lightly. It would be nice to recruit some new non members to this event

so what a run first don?I am right down the road that is my stomping ground.

This is a good area look up elvis it is a good trail with some hard obstacles and some bypass.But there is a hill climb play area that is a blast out there.

I will attend this fest so count me in ok.

I can't make the 9am meet or run since I have to teach a CPR class that morning at the hospital but I can make the remeet at 3pmish since I will be finished teaching at noon....
I there is cell service in your run area I can try to find ya'll so that I at least get dusty for the remeet

If they want to raffle off something cool then a cyclonic pre-cleaner would be really nice....
Of course anything would be nice.....free stuff rocks.
Thanks for putting this together Don, Camelback Toyota wants to do the same thing with the Adventure4x4.net group. If you want to reach out to more FJ owners you can post it there, expeditionportal and on ih8mud also...
enjoy

Please count me in.

Lance, I got a laptop last week (Mac) with wi fi capabilities, so maybe we can discuss the communication issues at the Cub Scouts meeting this week or PM me.

Is that enough time to actually go do a run and enjoy it?

9am at Earnheardts, then 10am at the trail head, and back by 2-3ish? Seems a little rushed, but I'll see if I can make it.

AZ-TRD · 10-07-2007, 11:15 AM

i'm in

DIZZYSPOTS · 10-07-2007, 12:26 PM

Here's where the balancing act come's in.
Factor one:
Whenever runs are posted for early mornings, some post about it being too early because of travel to the meeting point.
Factor two:
This run isn't just about a trail, it's also a marketing tool for Earnhardt and inviting other prospective FJ owners to join us in events. The optimal times for dealerships aren't 7 am or 5 pm on a weekend.
I tried to plan a smaller rum (Box Canyon) because its really scenic and relatively close to Earnhardt. If Box Canyon ends up being too short and we have extra time we can choose to add something to it.

This is a first time event at a dealership and I didnt want to make it too too complicated. I will update the first post
Thank you for working with me on this
Don
