2009 Grand Slam Southwest Dates and Location

chadjans · 06-09-2009, 11:13 PM

This year's Grand Slam Southwest will have a different "feel." Because of the land use issues some of you may be aware of and the paths our lives take we as a planner's group decided to hold an event this year but in a different perspective.

This 2009 the event will be held the first weekend of October (October 2, 3 and 4, 2009) in the Sedona Arizona area. Similar to last year's event.

We will have a broader trail list than last year. For my rig is running for the most part.

Meeting location will be the Safeway parking lot in Sedona at 8:30 AM, found at: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...3&z=16&iwloc=A

We will not be holding a raffle for prizes. And our "banquet" will most likely be a simple dinner with friends. I will work on a getting a group rate for a hotel after a simple count of those who are thinking of attending.

So with the dates and location above. Who would be thinking of attending? Please post your interest below...

I would like to attend depending on if my rig is built enough for the trails you are running.

Ours is with Sunterra and they have 3 properties in the area so I don't think we will have a problem getting booked in October.

MitchRonda · 06-22-2009, 12:44 PM

Thats cool...
Our's has ROD, AOR, Sunbelt, Bla, bla...
We should be able to get in some place...
But, since the wife works part-time for WHR the rentals only cost us $15 a night...

kingvm · 07-31-2009, 02:51 PM

Well, slight change of plans for us. My wife has gotten to the point she does not trust my ZJ to make the 1000 mile trip to Sedona.

So we just pulled the trigger on an 05 Hemi Limited. It was one that my son-in-law bought and we upgraded it with a 3" lift and some Rubicon JK wheels & tires.

I'm thinking that with a little more undercarriage protection that we could still do the Sedona trails with very little problem.

What do you guys think?

chadjans · 08-04-2009, 06:59 PM

Are you bringing the ZJ or the JK? Either would be fine for the area.

I have been thinking how much all the new round-a-bouts are going to suck pulling my trailer around.
