October is here my fellow Zonies... any ideas for a run?

October is here my fellow Zonies... any ideas for a run?


Well lets see , we have gone wayyyyy up north to the canyon and down south, and in Nov going on the toy run up north, maybe have something local in the valley?
Maybe meet out by me and Snoopy and head east to Globe even. Not much to do, but nice drive.
Or just drive from east Mesa thru Chandler up thru Tempe up thru Phoenix and Finish up in Scottsdale :lol:

I hear you...and agree with you. What about Holiday stuff..anything festive going on in your neck of the woods?

Thought something was mentioned about a carnival and pumpkins near Queen Creek... what about that?

That would be Schnepfs farms (I don't think that is spelled right). They have some carnival rides for the kids, pumpkin patch, home made pies, great bar b que, corn maze, petting zoo.

That sounds pretty fun! Not sure about anyone else. And who said anything about kids?!?! Rides are AWESOME! :nuts: Kidding about the kids! HAHAHA! :lol:

My kids are glued to my hip!:lol: So, I guess I always think of things that are kid friendly... I am not opposed to getting a babysitter if someone has a better suggestion! :cool: Like the HIN show coming up you posted...looking for sitter so I can get out and enjoy the cars without saying "stop that, don't touch that, don't breath on that!: :lol:

Forgot all about idea. Could be fun

Anyone else put anymore thought into the farm thing? Is there a number I can call and check it out? Sounds like a good time and its already October! :D

Any weekend is good for me except this weekend! oh BTW I will be in phoenix this sat. helping a friend with an ION install nitrous on it. Then go out cruising that night I guess. Not sure. So as for the farm thing is that what our Oct meet is going to be???

I pick the 21st.

Since this is a family thing we are planning, that is the best weekend for us as we will have both of the youngest.
Jason will you have your little girl that weekend?

Where you going cruising at sat night? What part of phx you going to be in?

Been thinking, maybe any weeked EXCEPT the weekend before Holloween?

Jason, give a call when you all get done Sat... maybe we can all meet up for dinner since you are in town?

As far as the trip goes, Jubilee will be with me, however... her mother wants to go as well. Not such a bad thing since we acutally get along now but just a heads up. Grrrrr....

Sat night not sure. Was told that a few guys go out to a place called the Pav's or Pavillions... not sure about that... The 2 guys I am helping with the nitrous install have a couple ideas too but if they are heading out to the illegal races I am bailing on that... Just glad to be out of Tucson for once. Oh and tomorrow night (friday) I am back out at the strip and get to try out my exhaust and intake at the track to see what kind of times I am making now! Also teaching a couple guys from the cobalt forum how to stage and the tree and launch... they're juniors in highschool and have never been. Already talked with their parents and got them to sign waivers for the kids. made sure they know I am not responsible for their kids, the kids are on their own and the parent's responsible... One of their dads is going cause he is really interested in seeing what his son thinks is fun! Makes me feel like an old man and I'm only 26!!!! HAHAHA! :lol: Sorry guys and gals! I know I am still the baby of this group...:D

Jason you still got me # give me call when your done on Sat. night maybe there is a small local show going on or something.

As far as the run your little girls mom is welcome and the 21st is almost 2 weeks before holloween so should not be a problem with the crowds.

The 21st works for me and the boys!

Now we just gotta wait and see about Snoopy, Mike and Yvonne... am I missing anyone?

Thanks for the invite fellow "Zonies". But my lady and I, will be in Hawaii.
Leaving on the 17th....be back on the 25th.

Have a great time and think of me....just a little. You're a great bunch and hate to miss the "event", but you know....it's Hawaii.

Somebody (or anybody) wants to PM me their address, I'll send a card.

Really wanted to take Stubby with me. But he needs to be with an HHR group. Driving from here to Hawaii is a little difficult (I can't hold my breath that long).

Oh, Jason you want me to see about bringing a girl back for you???

oooh... exotic. Nice, me likes! Kinda hard to put in a suitcase and even if she did fit I don't like 'em THAT young! :lol:

Gee, we sure would like to attend, BUT - wife has to work so we can take off the following weekend, which includes our 11th Anniversary (the 29th). We might drive to Vegas for our Anniv. Anyhow, sure sorry we're going to miss it this time. Sounds like it's going to be the best run yet. Take lots of pics, and hopefully, there can be another fun G2G in Nov. that we will be able to make. "SS" Mike

Mile sorry you wont be be able to make it. You and your little girl could always come up and suprise mom with a pumpkin.

As far as Nov goes I do know that Jason and I will be joining Mandy on a toy drive poker run. Your welcome to join that if we do not have another run.
I am looking at a few ideas for a G2G in Dec.

This "newbie" is going to try and make the Oct G2G at Schnepf Farm. May or may not have the kids with me.

Would be great to have you along! :cool:

Geee nothing to do in Yuma?

Unfortunately I have been to Yuma a lot... not much there but a Wal-Mart!:lol: A run to San Diego might be fun some time next year!

Hope your able to make it. Once it gets a little closer we find a spot to meet and all go out at the same time. Kids or no kids you will have a good time :thumb:

Geee nothing to do in Yuma?

Have to agree not much to do down there. Got any ideas?

We are looking at a spring time G2G something that most or all over are cali friends and Az HHRs can do mabye even picking someplace where the northen folks can join also.

As far as Dec goes they have a big "courthouse lighting" ceremony in Prescott. Not much as far as our other trips... We have winterhaven here in Tucson that the whole neighborhood does a light show. Not many were doing it last year though.

For those who like the haunted stuff... Old Tucson Studios does a thing called "nightfall" for the whole month of October. Its $20.95 to get in for adults. Not sure of kids prices. They have 3 shows, 3 walkthrough haunted houses, and a haunted train ride. They have actors dress up and walk around too dressed as whatever theme they are doing. This year its "Dark Assylum" and the actors are dressed as dead crazy house people. Its really neat! Open usually from 6pm-10pm and shows are staggered so you can see all 3. Anyone needs anymore info lemme know!

Guess it is time to be thinking of a meeting place and time. Are we going to spend all day out there, or should we be looking for something else to do.

I looked at a map and it looks like maybe we should meet up someplace over by my house, since it is on the way. Let me know what everyone else things

I can tell you when we were out there last year... we were there for several hours. They have fireworks of an evening too, so should we meet up early afternoon and stay for the fireworks show?

Some place over by you works for me. What is the status on your car? Will it be back in time for this run?

If not we are making a run to the dealership and pulling it out. :lol:
I should have it any day now. But then again they said that a few days ago :red:

Geee nothing to do in Yuma?

Actually, going thru Yuma to San Diego, 2 times a week for almost 10 years I was able to witness some pretty amazing "stuff".

A good number of classis and muscle cars shows, where the owners either drive or trailer them (mostly in the "winter" months).

The hauted hotel...if that is still done.

The vintage train ride.

Periodically the Marine Air Station has an open house.

Counting illegals coming across the desert.

The Dunes (actually in Calif.) for great photo ops (Star Wars, Rambo, etc.)

Counting more illegals coming across that desert.

Watching the lettuce grow.

If not we are making a run to the dealership and pulling it out. :lol:

We could make a run of it. Circle the dealership until they relase your car! :lol:

Jason as far as a time what ever everyone picks. I think this is a good place to meet up at TOYS R US :D
It is right off the freeway on your left side on power rd and the us60
address is 1516 S. POWER ROAD MESA, AZ 85206. This is so you can google a map from you to the store. You will just take I10up here then th US60 exit east.
Mandy you would just take I10 south to the US60 then east
Or if everyone wants we can meet at my place. Just let me know where everyone wants to meet and I will give you that info if you want
Here is the link for where we will be going and they have a local map. If you look at the map we can just shoot right down power road.

Do we have a head count of who is going to make it?
Jason, Mandy, Me anyone else?

I am a definite MAYBE.

It's my Mom's birthday that day, but may not have anything planned until the next weekend as far as family g2g (because that day is Dad's b-day).

I'll see Yvonne this week, if not will give her a call. Hope HOTAZHR can make it as well, as always the more the merier! My folks are thinking of joining us so I can go into at least one of the ghost houses!:eek:

I can meet you where ever works for the group. The directions you gave seem pretty simple. What time? I'm thinking mid morning, early afternoon. I may keep the boys out there for the fireworks, undecided still...

I wll talk to Gina and she what how late she wants to stay out there. Jason any input from you since you have the longest drive?
We dont have to meet at 7:00am unless everyone wants to, we can make it like a 11:00 meet up maybe take a crusie thru town or something as we head out there stop for lunch before getting there. ?

Time doesn't matter much. Just means Jubilee can sleep on the way up. Although that 11am sounds good. Lunch and a cruise too. Just not sure if the ex will be up in time. Told her whatever time is set she needs to be ready cause I gotta keep my priorities straight... and HHR's come before the ex! I already got Jubilee so... no worries! HAHA! Just lemme know. My vote is for 11 so far though.

11:00 sounds good to me. I like the idea of lunch and a cruise before hand! :cool:

Ok 11 works for me. I will look up what places are right here to eat or we can cruise around and pick a spot :thumb:

Ok so Toys R Us or Dwaynes house then?

Ok so Toys R Us or Dwaynes house then?


After talking to Gina, it would probally be easier to meet at Toys R US. Dealing with traffic around the house because they have road working going on,(cars could get dirty cannt have that) plus we live in a gated housing area.
Personally I would love to have about 3-5 HHR's parked out front of my house :lol:
But think Toys r us would work out better.

Toy's R Us it is! So 10/21 at 11:00!

Spoke to Yvonne and Steve aka "Backdraft:. They are in for Sat too! :thumb:

Cool :thumb:

ok so which toys r us again? if it was listed before i'm sorry!:thumb:

I will just let everyone find out when you get there :p: :lol:

So anyone have a place in mind they might want to grab lunch at? I was thinking maybe a Sonic. Could have a bunch of HHR's roll into a sonic all parked together. Sounded like a cool idea with the retro looking cars and drive up place like that. Ideas ????

I like that. Sounds good to me! :D

Sonic works for me!

Ok so lets see... first Toys, then burgers, and then rides and bbq? Could this be any more fun?!?!?! :D

Gina just told me we can get discounted tickets at Fry's. If you dont get a chance to get them before Sat. no fear there is one down the street from where we are meeting. :thumb:

Don't mean to burst your bubble, was told by someone at work today the rides are just kiddie rides..but they do have the haunted houses this year...:eek:

Not sure if any of the 'Zonies joining the G2G today will see this, but I hate the bearer of bad news. B'day plans for family have changed, so I won't be able to make it after all. SORRY!!! I'll be sure and be on the lookout for the next scheduled outing.
