Thanks for giving me his email Dan! I ordered one of those cool little liquid filled tip-o-meters from him about a month ago and haven't gotten it yet. Wonder what it could be?? :cool:

I am waiting to fill mine in till after the first of the year. I don't want them to issue me a permit for 2004 when the run is in 2005. I have learned not to trust any government agency to do what you intended them to do.

Hey there, I am assuming that you did not receive my e mail right after you ordered that I was awaiting a new batch :)

I know that I received an order for someone who was going to send a check, however, I have not seen that as of yet.

Either way, I should have those meters soon, not sure what the hold up is???

On a different note, those of you who have submitted your mailing information should be receiving your packets soon...The names are being forwarded to them in groups so that the BLM can send them out as bulk.

If you need a permit and have yet to send the information, please send it to michael@xtremeoff-road.com and I will put you on the list.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Hi there, it is going to be out in the Florence Junction area which is East of Phoenix :)

[Anurati]

Is the "land use packet" different than the "state land permit" you buy at the state land dept.?

Thanks for the reply Mike!!! I guess I didn't get the email saying they were backordered, must've gone into the depths of my spam folder for some reason. AOHELL likes to do that sometimes! I think I paid through paypal for my little guage thingy, do you recall?

Hey there Brian, I will look, there were two orders, one in which the individual was going to send a check, and another one which used a credit card...I think I found was the delay was...the items were shipped to our old address, and seem to still be there :confused:

Guess I will make a trip over there to see if they still have them or what in the world happened to them.

I will be back in touch my friend, sorry about that!

I looked but didn't see anything.

I don't think its put up yet. I'll inquire when I get there shortly.
I'm not sure that the motels have been contacted yet to try to get a good rate.
mostly waiting till after the holidays to get kicked into high gear.

We will really get moving on things right after the holidays are over, But we might need to get all the hotel info ASAP! People have to make reservations and stuff.

[drabnor]

is there going to be any camping or is it hotel only?

[xtremeoff-road]

All camping my friend :)

Last time it was all camping. Except for Robert Cannon, He stayed at a hotel. We are going to try and see if we can get some discount rates for people wanting to stay at a hotel, But I do have to warn. At that time around here prices can be a little high.

go to AZ rocks, it will be 'cheaper' in the long run ;)

[RLCanon]

What? To avoid sleeping in the same motel as me? Hell, I'd camp too except that knowing Yogi is in the area I can't sleep on my stomach unless I'm behind a locked door! :eek:

...you know what they say, what happens in vegas stays in vegas :xpimp:
Sure, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas; but what happens at AZRocks becomes the stuff of legend! :cool: Ha ha!

I am trying to get my rig in proper shape, and have a few questions:

1) Is it day trips on the trail, or multi-day? My spare tire lives in the bed of the Heep, and if we are going to be multiple days on the trail, then I need to build my spare tire carrier by then so that there will be more room inside the rig for gear.

2) Assuming day trips, how far from the staging area to the trailhead? I'll almost certainly have a CO2 bottle by then to air up, but am still curious how much street pounding I should plan on dealing with.

3) How strict are the local authorities on 100% street legality? I have the basics, but currently lack fancy things like turn signals, horn, high beams, speedo, reverse lights, center and right mirrors....well, you get the picture.

Thanks, John

Hey John, hope you had a good xmas, all things considered.

doubt there will be multi-day trips. last yr ther eweren't any.

if camping, the only time you'll need to drive onthe street is for fuel, ice, food drinks etc. the trails are accessable from dirt from camp site to trailheads. for the store/gas station-probably won't air up they are close.

you might be eligable for a fix-it ticket w/o mirrors. turn signals can be done by hand. reverse light they wouldn't even see unless they see you backup.
way too many vechiles out here that appears the brake lights are disconnected and hardly get stopped for that.

LMK if you have more ????

[Murderman]

Thanks Derek; I hope your holidays have been good thusfar as well.

I am assuming from your response that the tow rigs would then be parked at the campsite?

If motel'ing were chosen, about how far from the motel to the staging area [campsite]?

Sorry for the volume of questions; just trying to get a feel for the local logistics, so that I don't inconvenience the rest of the group.

holidays good so far.

not sure which motels we'll be looking at. might be able to park trailers there.
if same motels as last yr, about 5-10 miles (I think).

No prob on lots of questions, others will be curious about the same info.

[Murderman]

5-10 miles.... heck, I won't even need to air up then. ;)

I sent Robert an E-mail asking about the hotel he has stayed at previously.

Is this a general run or a TTORA one, and about how many rigs are expected?

Robert should be able to tell you how far from motel to camp. If we're at differnt camp area then the motels in Florance might be closer.

TTORA run, last yr we had ~50 rigs (guesstimate) this yr sounds like we'll be having more.

Sounds like my rig will be the "step-child" yet again; that's what I get for hanging around with a bunch of Tacomites. ;) At least most of y'all know me well enough to know that I don't care. :xpimp:

[Murderman]

How much horsepower does a NorCal TTORA sticker add, I have one of those on my rig?

At least my front axle is Toyota, unlike most of the SAS folks here. :lmao:

I can't wait!!!

I think I underguesstimated the distance from last yr (azrocks) to the campgrnd. it'll be more like 15 maybe 20 miles. I think there might be other hotels closer if we use some in the Florance, AZ area. if I remember I'll post back to you when we figure all that out.
have a happy and safe new yr

[Murderman]

Thanks, let us know what you find out. It sounds like most of the TX crew is leaning towards hotel'ing.

[cb77DEMELLO]

Thanks, let us know what you find out. It sounds like most of the TX crew is leaning towards hotel'ing.
Were leaning towards a hotel also, I don't feel like camping for 3 days after that long drive. I might bring my motor home if the hotel cost is about the same as driving it out.

[hytenor]

I'll be looking for a room as well. when you get info about local lodging let us know ;)

[grumpy]

what don't texans know how to camp!!! j/k

now that its after the holidays I'm sure we'll get started on getting all the arrangements.

[Murderman]

We know how to camp [Dick and others can vouch for it], but we will also be travelling 1200 miles each way. Like Jason alluded to, a comfortable rack at night will make a few days of wheelin' much better.

We should have the hotel/Motel info up for you guys by the end of this weekend. Just working out a few more details.
