Count me in as long as my lift is done on my jeep. I won't be meeting you guys in town. If you want, I can wait for you guys at Park Link and 79. Otherwise I'll just meet you at the campsite.

That should not be a problem, I was going to ask for that Friday off anyways.
Hopefully I'll have the hardtop on the trailer by then.

Hey Folks,
This run is coming up fairly soon, and I wanted to post some more information. First let me say to those that are coming, this is going to be an awesome weekend with good wheeling, good food, good friends and lots of fun.
As I eluded to earlier, I'll be leaving Thursday after the meeting's over and headed to Florence Junction. Those who wish to join me then and there are more than welcome. Depending on the time the meeting ends, I'll probably be in Oracle Junction within 45 minutes.
For anyone who wishes to join us Friday morning, I'd recommend you leave Tucson early. We will likely be departing camp at 9 AM. Directions to Florence are simple.
From Tucson, take Oracle Hwy (77) north to Oracle Junction. Turn northwest at Florence Hwy (79). Stay on 79 until you pass through Florence, and continue north to Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Cottonwood Canyon Rd will be about 10 minutes north of the railroad tracks. Turn East on Cottonwood Canyon Rd. and check your odometer. Travel East approximately 5.0 miles, and we will be camping on the south side of the road. There will be a TOR banner and markings at the roadside if you missed the odometer.
Also, if anyone has any questions between now and then, or on the day of the run, my cell phone does get reception at the campsite... 520.850.9359.

I think I can make it. The Jeep is running, so as long as there's no SNAFUs I'll be there.
Do you have a trail picked out for Sat and Sun. What time will you leave camp on both days?

We'll probably leave around 9am. I'd like to do Upper Ajax on Saturday. Not sure about Sunday yet, since it sounds like some people want to leave early. I'm not leaving till Monday, so if you want to run something special, just let me know. I'm leaving here around 2pm today, but I'll be on my cell phone. Hope to see you there.

Correct me if I'm wrong Christine.
