[Jorsof]

Going to miss this one.

 

[NeVrDun]

I hope that I will finally be ready to drive across town to attend this one..., it's only been about 2+ years

 

[LongDuck]

Okay, I'm in for the 100mi round trip! See you guys tomorrow night.

(*Thanks for the nudge @Saddletramp and @Highway Romping !)

 

[ftbshop]

I’ll be headed down to the meet

 

[Abigail]

I can't make it, I'm out of town right now.

Hope you’re having a good time.

Quick Notes; ~20 people (*including little people!), a mix of 40s, several 60s, a diesel Prado, a few 80s, a few 100s, and a single 200 series.

• Welcome to the 3(?) new members who showed up!
• @brices123 gave introductions to new members and we did a round-table for all Mud members and CSC Club members
• ROTM - a pre-run was conducted a few weeks back which headed out to Bartlett lake, but turned back after it got too hot. A ROTM to this location may be conducted later in the fall when weather cools off. Interested? Talk to @ftbshop
• Needing more ROTM volunteer leads for the run up to summer. Post in the main forum if you have a run you'd like to share with other club members
• Summer Swap Meet - set for next Saturday at Higgys, with thanks to him for hosting the event. Several club members talked about stuff they're bringing to sell, including solar battery chargers, and various wheels and LandCruiser parts!
• Adopt A Trail - CSC has adopted several trails in the past, but both have been either closed (*Red Creek, Tonto) or are presently impassable (*back road to My. Ord). If you know of a good trail within Tonto that could be adopted, we can work with TRAL to coordinate clean-up and trail maintenance. Adoption of trails outside of Tonto can be done on our own.
• Meeting adjourned and groups formed to discuss various topics such as battery chargers, 40 series parts interchangeability, Hornadys obsession with velocity in the 7mm PRC, hunt Units around the state, reloading the .223Rem, and caring for aging parents.

Thanks to all who attended, and watch for further meeting invitations which may get sparse over the summer due to Phoenix heat. Take care, all!

@LongDuck Thank you for the write up. It was a nice turnout.

Sorry, I forgot to take photos of the new member's truck. We had a couple of older FJ40 and a right hand drive Prado.

 

[LongDuck]

Yeah, he said it was a 1966 FJ40, but when you averaged all the parts, it was more like a 68...!

When is the next club meeting? I am in Tucson with an FZJ80.

Good question.
At this point, the May meeting (which should be May 17th) is scheduled to be held in Flagstaff. That is Overland Expo West weekend.
We may not have a meeting until September, due to the summer heat. Sorry.
Keep looking on MUD for a posting.
