Well we have picked the dates for the 2010 Grand Slam Southwest.
And those are:
October 15, 16 and 17, 2010!! We will be holding this event in the Middle Arizona area of Florence, Junction!
There are few new hotels in the Town of Florence (best) and Gold Canyon (good). Or if you are being cheap like me: PLENTY of camping in the Florence Junction area.
So
If you are attending, thinking of attending, post below, please.
See you all in October!

I am a definite maybe.
EDIT: Change me to "out".Too much happening and too much that the Jeep needs done to get ready requiring time and money that I really do not have to spend between now and the middle of October.
All the fun to those of you that do make it!

Not enough vacation time!

2010 is the year to do it!

Well so far those dates look good for us. I am not able to make GSWs anymore so I need to get my Grand Slam Jones in somehow. We are a definate maybe.
I may be pulling my pop up camper. Are there decent campsites near the meeting area for a pop up? It is lifted and capable of mild trails if necessary.
07-09-2010, 02:45 PM
There is tons of camping spots out there for pop ups! So you are good.
07-09-2010, 04:04 PM
I guess I should answer.
Me plus one.
07-10-2010, 02:36 PM
I'm in! Probably camping. +1 at least.

Got a call asking me to check if I put the wrong Junction in the announcement.

Can you describe the trails a bit?
I would like to run some medium level trails, pirmarily because I do not want to find a way to get my kids home and trailer my Jeep back to Denver if I break something serious far from home. Not a wimp with trails, just a cautious father when I need to be.
My WJ is built well and reliable, just needs to drive us home too.

Keith:
I know this sounds like a copout but grab the Wells book for Arizona. Charles Wells can describe some of the trails that we will be offering better than I can.
I know the trail list will consist of:
Martinez Canyon and Cabin
Upper and Lower Woodpecker
Upper and Lower Ajax
High Way To Hell
Axle Alley
Extasy
Woody's Wash
and a few others.
There is plenty in the area to wheel. All in all goodtimes and we will be doing our best to keep people happy.
And I hope you do all realize this has become a low key event for us here in Arizona. No raffles, no sponsers. Just a meeting of friends. We will be looking to do a BBQ on Saturday night.

Good I idea on checking out Wells book. I have a few for the Colorado and Utah area. Low key is good with me.
I will check the trails out, thanks for the list.

Well as promised here are a few GPS points that are of interest for this year's event.
As mentioned this year's event is being held in the area north of the town of Florence, Arizona, called Florence Junction. Access to the area is from Highway 79.
Exit 79 at Cottonwood Canyon Road (there is a flag pole, visitor's kiosk and car park area at this point), GPS point: N33 10 44.1 W111 21 04.4 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...2&ie=UTF8&z=16
I will be camping at what I call the Undertakers Camp, GPS Point: N33 11.556 W111 17.855
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...,0.109692&z=13
Each day we will be meeting at 8:30 AM at the carpark at Highway 79 and Cottonwood Canyon Road to run trails in the area. I will be on CB Channel 17.
See you all in a few weeks!

Count me as a strong maybe. Jeep is going in shop on Monday and he promises I'll have it by the weekend. Friday is probably out but can do Saturday and Sunday.
Is there any shade there to camp by? I've been out there a few times but never really checked out the area for camping spots.
Also, I had my shop broken into last month and all my tools were stolen along with a bunch of other stuff. They got my portable air compressor I used to air up tires, etc. I don't even have a &$@! hammer anymore. If I break anything I'll be needing some help. I'll try to pick up a few up before then.
