I'm going up to the mine in the next week, so I'll get ours then. If anyone wants, get your $10/person to me I'll pick yours up from Roma & Marty.

Very cool. Just picked up my four today. If anyone needs them I can sell you mine and go pick up more. I always need a reason to go up to the mine.

Tonight's Ghost Tour had 25 guests. 2 weeks ago it was just 8 of us.

I'm in Hank! Ill take 2. Let me know if its just easier to order off that link you mentioned. Whatever is easiest for you man!

Pretty much any time you guys cruise anywhere I'm in. (LONG AS IT AIN'T RAININ! :z7shysterical:)

The twistie's on the way back to the mine are pretty awesome, slow pokes should stick towards the back of the pack :mrgreen:

Ill mention this to John and Andy as well.

Anyone that has not been to the mines it is a really cool adventure!

Very cool Joe and Dave! I can pick up more tickets when I go visit the mine in a week or so. Just a reminder the dinner is being held at the community center in Wickenburg (behind Circle K) not at the mine. I know a few other people don't want to get their cars dusty at the mine. Dave & I were thinking of heading over to Screamers for Ice Cream after dinner (if we have room). I'd like to see what me new HID headlights look like on Vulture Mine road after that.

Rent "The Graves" from Redbox-it was filmed at the mine and Screamers Drive In.

Hi All

Important Update: We have decided not to have dinner at the Vulture Benefit (for reasons I won't post here). The benefit is still on if you want to go.

Marty and Roma, caretakers of the Vulture Mine will join us at Fireside Steak House located at 50507 N. Hwy 60 about 3 miles south of Wickenburg, AZ Ph.# 928-684-4906. Still May 21 at 5:30pm. They offer a full menu from burgers to ribs. We will each pay for our own meals as normal.

I apologize to anyone this may have inconvienenced.

Feel free to bring your FRS radios on channel 5 sub-channel 10. Let's keep it safe and travel in the right lane at the speed limit. We're on a sight seeing cruise, not a race. If we get separated we'll meet at Fireside. Remember everyone is welcome-all cars, all clubs, all people.

PLANS:
Meet at Costco 101 & Cave Creek Road - behind Taco Bell
Depart Costco at 3:45pm
Take Cave Creek Rd North to Carefree Highway-head West
Follow Carefree Highway around and past Lake Pleaseant
Lake Pleaseant Rd intersects with Route 60. Make a right turn at the Stop sign
Take Route 60 North towards Wickenburg travel about 6 miles.
Fireside is on the right side
If anyone has room left after dinner we can head to Screamers Drive in for ice cream. Stay on 60 head through Wickenburg it is west of town on the left.

anybody got a good number of how many cars will be going saturday.

HanksGT
05-19-11, 11:57 PM
I know of 6 to 8 cars that said they are going. Many others said they will try. In the last few pizza cruises we have done there is usually 20 to 25 cars with about 2 people per car.

Side Note: Marty is letting Fireside know we'll be there around 5pm. There is limited paved parking, but he thinks we should have no problem getting those spots that early. And the weather looks to be perfect!

Thanks Hank for setting this up it was fun!! 120 in the Stang is an absolute blast!

We had 35 people in 17 vehicles. Great cruise, great people, great dinner and great ice cream. Who could ask for more. We had members from AZ Mustang Car Club, Copperstate Mustang Club and Wild West Mustang Club attend.Jim Peterson, Director of AZMCC, brought some really nice door prizes to hand out courtesy of their sponsor Power Ford in N Scottsdale. Thanks Lonnie-sorry you couldn't make it out. Roma & Marty Hagan, Vulture Mine caretakers and their family met us there. They provided a DVD that we showed "Stories of the Vulutre Gold Mine". Very entertaining. When the word went out at 7pm that Screamers closed at 8pm, 35 people were out the door in 30 seconds flat-no lie! Screamers look like a used muscle car dealership. Give me a little more time to post more photos that Samantha took while we were driving.

Some more folks are planning a cruise each month. They will post the details here as soon as they can. Yarnell, Biosphere, Tombstone and Karchner are some of the ones I heard mentioned tonight. The last 2 may be weekend trips. Remember-anyone can do this. Pick a reasonable location and post it to get a response of how many will attend. Try to post it more than 4 weeks ahead, so people have time to plan. Don't try to do too many things (I'm guilty of that) in one day. check the calender of the clubs to make sure it doesn't conflict with any of their events. Even if its hot out we can go to dinner, and you don't have to take your 'Stang.

Carolyn and I are offering our place to show an outdoor movie. The nights are still nice for the next several weeks. We have a 20 x 30 foot outdoor screen. Rick S from WWMC offered to bring a Rt 66 video he created as pre-show entertainment. "Gone in 60 Seconds" as the main feature?

I want to go to Screamers again, and take turns putting each of our cars somewhere in that front row! What a shot.

Enjoy!

Not sure why but my cell phone seemed to make the pictures seem blue. But they look ok.

I prefer a car cruise more than just about anything the clubs do. In my opinion the people that run the clubs are sometimes forgetting what this is suppose to be about in the first place, FUN, the quality of PEOPLE, and the LOVE OF THE MUSTANG!! PERIOD.

If its fun you can count me in. If its boring and stress filled I DON'T WANT TO DO IT!!!
