My font is bigger than yours

Not really, but I had to say it. Will your buggy be up and running by then? We haven't seen you on the trail in a while.

**hoffyinaz** · 06-14-2008, 07:14 AM

For you Denver guys who went last year. How long was the drive? If I understood things right there really was no Motel nearby is that right?
What aobut a place to put a pop up trailer?

**Colorado 5.9** · 06-23-2008, 01:22 PM

You didn't search did you? As in scroll down about 10 or so posts on the GSSW folder?

It took my Dad & I 16 hours to go down but only 13 to come back.

No there are a couple of nice places. Really depends on how much you want to pay a night.

Sandy, Gary, Matt & his wife, & my Dad & I stayed at the La Vista Motel on the north end of town. It was just fine for what was needed. Rooms were not as nice looking as the Red Stone but just fine. They let us check in after dark & the office was closed.

Just checked out the sight. New carpet & stuff. Maybe they look a bit better now.

If you want a room there don't delay! There are not that many rooms.

Keith,

I have had trailers in two of the Sedona area RV parks. My choice would be http://www.ranchosedona.com/ for proximity to the town, but http://www.lolomai.com/index.htm was where we stayed last year with a camp trailer. Both were walking distance to the creek. But Lolo was about 15 min south of town. Rancho was about 1 min. Unfortunately we were never really at either park long enough to enjoy it.

There are also plenty of areas available for free... I know several people camped last year.

Sedona is worth the drive. There is a fair to mid chance that we will be there for the fall colors. You can fish Oak creek. Plenty to do.

David.

So you know it's nothing fancy. And, you wake up to wild pigs scouring the parking lot in the morning. I just booked mine.

Do not recall the La Vista Jeep Rental. Did they have that last year?

I just reserved my room. Sounds like they're booking pretty quickly.

They had that listed last year too. I never saw any jeeps or asked about them though.

**malibu454sss70** · 07-31-2008, 12:21 AM

Welcome aboard! The event will be for Grand Cherokees only. So, your friend is welcomed to ride along in your vehicle, or take his rubi on the other local trails. But, he cannot be officially part of our event... sorry.

Look for the Daily Driver Meetings Post in the another thread coming in the next few days/weeks. Last year's meetings were in the Sedona Safeway on 89A at 8:30 am... expect something similar this year.

Wow hat a shock a guy is a member on here for a year and he goes and gets a new better equipped heep and now he cant attend any of the events cause its not a grand cherokee you might want to let the moderator to go ahead and erase my login cause i will not return back to this site anymore.

this is a shame cause we let the GC's attend our(VJC) events just ask hoffyinaz ive wheeled with him and even put his spring back in when he lost his spring in sedona on our last run there. but its just shamefull that you are stuck on brand names your rig says the same thing on all the parts that mine does J.E.E.P. but no hard feelings if i see you broke down on a trail sometime i will still stop and help cause it is a jeep thing not a wrangler/cherokee thing but you probibly wouldn't understand
