I've been unexpectedly busy at work lately so I haven't had the time to write anything up. I'll try to get a post up tomorrow with better information.

I really need someone to step up to run the thread on here. Handle things like the head count and updating the thread and what not since i just don't have the time i thought I would have to keep a thread updated.

As of now tho the plan is as follows:

• Jan 20th 9-10:30 AM Starting time
• All Toyotas are welcome.
• Poker run style
• Sheeps Bridge via Seven Springs road.
• BBQ at Sheep bridge provided by Traeger beginning at 1pm
• Camping is on an individual basis but there is plenty of it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^There you go boys. Map is linked in the comment above.

 

I can do my best to provide assistance with the thread... since I slightly obsess on orchestrating all the meets anyways

 

I just copied it from the other page so its not me asking for help. Just watch out when helping this event its not small. I think last time there was like 45 to 55 trucks maybe more. when I rolled up and there was only 10 trucks sitting around once we ran the trail and meet up with everyone it was massive. Butchers jones has a big parking lot before the lake area and we filled the whole parking lot pretty much.

 

That was a quote from cliff who organized it last year

 

here is most of us. Not a small run

 

Fugggg that’s a big meet. I was convinced you were talking about this thread. I’m not helping with a meet of that capacity lol

 

I'm so down for that run, putting in for the time off tomorrow! Used to know some people at Traeger when I was at Ace, they make some legit bbq if you have never had any

 

I will be in town form the 23rd of Dec to the 7th of Jan and would love to attend a meet or a run with yall

 

I made that run last year had to leave Tucson about 3:30 in the morning to make it in time showed up with about 40 lb of jalapeno bacon won the poker run had a freakin blast can't wait todo it again this year. The only thing that's going to keep me from making it is if my son can't make it.
This was the pre runner group.

 

You aint kidding! I ran the entire thread for it. Mike @mh.meier and Cliff @tubbsisland set up the vendors/sponsorship. It was hectic but we got it done with only 10 days to plan it Now with 2 months to go we're gunna make it YUGE! Sheep's Bridge is the location and it will be strictly TOYOTA only group because the numbers are already going to be ridiculous.

 

Sounds like this is gonna be pretty rad, I’m Forsure in for this. Hopefully we can get a pretty good turnout for Tucson guys as well. Curious if there’s good trails in that area too? I’m not going all the way up to Phoenix and not hitting some sweet trails

 

You might want to camp and do the trails the next day. After driving down from Tucson and doing trails I was did he after lunch and still had to drive home. I was beat and ready to get my blanki and go night nights.

 

You didn't run butcher Jones with the rest of the group?

 

That’s a good point, maybe we could get some Tucson crew to camp and explore. Sounds like a good time

 

Yea that's a long drive, I'd be interested in camping if I go.

 

It wasn't that bad. There were no hard spot so it was like driving on the road the whole time. I don't remeber leaving that early plus there starting the event later this year so we shouldn't have to wake up that early. Unless bacons involved then ill just stay awake for that!

 

But sheep's bridge is something ive always wanted to see and from the look of it we can camp there and head out the next day.
