Sure, the TJ will be working by then...I might have to help Raul(350cj5) take out his engine, replace some seals and then re-install it. We'll see. Mark me down as tenative.

You'll already be out that day. We just won't take you back right away.:D

[Markos]

Bill:

I may be up for the trip on the 24th. Are you still planning this one since you'll be on Broken Arrow this weekend? I'll need to call and see what hotel prices are for the holiday weekend.

Barring any rain or overcast skies, I'll be there. I'm also doing Smiley Rock that day!:D

[YGOHOME]

This looks like alot fun, I'll plan on going too if the weather is looking good. I don't think I've been to Sedona since 2004 when it was my current jeep's very first wheeling trip. Prior to that it was my very first arizona wheeling ever back in 99.

I wonder if the red planet diner is still around... that used to be my favorite place for lunch and dinner.

[ROKBITR]

Well, I was considering going but now I'm not if Nik's going! :p

...I should be able to make the full moon run. I would like to make it to smiley since I have not had a chance to run that trail yet. I will need a shake down run after I get all my repairs done. Hopefully I will be getting a Currie unit to throw in front :punk:.

[CaptainMorgan]

Hopefully I get my Tj back or the CJ on te road by then...I should at least have the CJ fixed...

[Nik2Explor]

[jordan83]

[terron gregg]

[Mike 77 CJ5]

The wife wants to do some jeepin around Sedona Thanksgiving weekend. We are thinking Fri,Sat and come home on Sun.
Would like to tag along on any runs.
Any suggestions on hotel rooms.

Thanks
Mike

[SEDONA RICK]

Are You Looking For Budget Or High End?

[Mike 77 CJ5]

Cheaper the better. I usually take my motorhome, but I'm having some electrical problems and won't be able to get it fixed by then.

Thanks for the help

Mike

[SEDONA RICK]

My Dad & Sister Are Staying @ Super 8. I Think She Said $80- $85.
The White House Inn Is About The Least $$. Also In West Sedona.

[CaptainMorgan]

That SUCKS!:banghead:
Is the CJ running?

I replaced the clutch and stuff and I think it needs a trans rebuild...it looks like I might be temporarily putting in that t-150 I told you about...OR it needs the rear axle rebuilt...but the CJ needs more work...I was so close:banghead::banghead:

I got a Makita impact gun today so hopefully things will move along quickly now.

[Mike 77 CJ5]

Thanks Rick,
I'll try those.

[Mike 77 CJ5]

Got reservations at the Super 8 for Thurs, Fri, Sat and leaving Sunday

I'm up for some wheeling for any and all of those days.

Can anyone recommend a restaurant for Turkey Day?:)

[Nik2Explor]

so im leaking gas out of the fuel pump ill put the new one in prob thu, fri if all goes well ill be there.

[Bill Ritter]

Do we need Red Rock passes for this run?

Bill

[SEDONA RICK]

Red Rock Passes Needed Only For Parking.

[SEDONA RICK]

[AZYJ322]

Count me in. I've run the trail in the past, but never at night. Sounds like fun.

John

[rockfinder]

It looks like my wife and I are off. We are looking forward to the trip. It will be the first trip with the club. Any directions on how to get to the trailhead would be helpfull.

thanks

[Heaney]

I have a buddy of mine will be coming up with his Taco.

[YGOHOME]

I count 16 jeeps so far. As Ozzy says... we'll be riding the crazy train

*edit: nevermind, that was pink floyd riding the gravy train. lol

still, will be a long train of jeeps :D

Wow. I'm glad it's a night run and we'll have the trail to ourselves.:dizzy2:

[Heaney]

What about splitting into 2 groups? One leave @ 5:30 and the other could go at lik 6:00 or 6:15?

[CaptainMorgan]

I will have a "band aid" t-150 in place of my t-18 by then it looks like...I might show up but it is starting to look booked up. If a few drop out and I really get another tranny in the CJ I will be there.


I guess if we break into groups of 5 or so it should be perfect.

B.A. gets pretty clogged otherwise.

Make that 17 Jeeps. :whistling: I will be sticking around after Smiley Rock to do this run.

[Clay]

Could be eighteen. One of my coworkers and her husband want to take their jeep out that evening.

[Mike 77 CJ5]

I understand through Ademster that Sedona Rick is having some family problems with his niece(health) and is in Colorado

You have my prayers

[ROKBITR]

Good luck with everything Rick. We will definitely miss having you on the trail with us saturday.

I think 5:30 might be a little too early. There was still a good amount of daylight last night.

Either way, I will be there at 5.

[Clay]

I picked up a case of the flu. Won't be there. Need to rest up for the crown king ride.

That sucks. :( I am getting over the flu myself, after coming down with it on Monday. So much for the flu shot I got. Guess I should have gotten the flu PREVENTION shot. ;)

See the rest of y'all tomorrow!

[Markos]

I just wanted to confirm that I will not be comming. I expressed some interest on the first page.

The livinig room furniture project that kept me from a m&g last sunday is still haunting me. :(

[mbuckner]

I will not be able to make it up to Sedona today .....:banghead:

Best regards,

Mike

[ROKBITR]

I guess I will add myself to the "not gonna make it" crew. I'm sure you guys will have a good time! Be safe!

[Mike 77 CJ5]

Hope you guys had fun!!!

I had a blast with ya on Smiley Rock today

[Nik2Explor]

great run guys.. it was nice meeting all of you hope to wheel with you soon.

Right here (http://www.virtualjeepclub.com/showthread.php?t=28146)! :)

Thanks so much to BillR for leading... he did a great job of herding a pretty large group through the trail.

It was just gorgeous out there tonight. This was my first real night run, and it was a good one for a debut. The surrounding buttes just looked surreal as they loomed over is in the moonlight. And the string of jeeps snaking through the trail was a very cool sight. :D

I will say the trail is much different in the dark. :dizzy2: Depth is definitely lacking, making obstacles appear much tamer than they really are. And the shadows hide a lot! Definitely pays to go slow and pay extra attention!

Thanks again, everyone! I had a blast! Enjoy the photos, and let's see some more!

[AZYJ322]

It was great meeting everyone. It's definitely a different experience running it at night. Certainly more challenging. BillR thanks for leading, you did a great job.

YGOHOME - Thank you for your help getting us going again on the way home. The brakes were good enough to get home.

Had a great time last night! I've posted some of the better pictures that turned out. Nice meeting all of you!

[BillR]

Awesome pics, folks!
Thanks to everyone for coming out, and a BIG thanks to Nick for tailgunning. I had a great time also. We had a good mix of people and vehicles. A night run gives Broken Arrow a whole different perspective, and the full moon was amazing. Trith had the trail lit-up pretty well, so we really didn't need the moon! :) I liked the comment someone made on the CB that "he is his own Christmas tree! (seriously, those lights were HANDY on a night run like this!:yes:)
Let's do it again soon!

[rockfinder]

Thanks everyone. We had a great time. Cant wait to do it again.

On the way back I lost overdrive, but we made it home. Does anybody know anthing about a 96 auto tranny?
