Looking at your directions im not sure if you want to go all the way down to Grant. It would cut about 10 mins off the trip if you turned down Ina and ran along the Mountains. I might be able to make this. Be in Tucson around 1030ish? Ill see if anyone from Sonoran wants to tag along

How many cars? What kinds?

I played with Google maps trying combinations and it indicated no real difference in time or distance on the city streets. Also, I gotta keep it simple considering a potentially long convoy of cars.

Its a group of S197 guys, but any Mustang or Ford is welcome. So far its only 5 for sure. Just let me know so I can keep everyone in the loop and coordinate the timing.

Just so you know, there is construction have way through Tucson on I-10. It won't prevent anything, but a lot of exits are closed off. I think Grant is one of them? How many people so far?

Sounds like fun! I just saw this post and you guys are probably at MT Lemon by now. Oh well maybe next time? Alan I don't think that you have my email address correct because I never got an email from you. See you on Wednesday.:pepper:
