Wish ya luck, any more pics of the blazer at the starting point. The tub was in pretty good shape wasn't it

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Yeah, really good shape.

I'll take pics and post em in the build thread...wouldn't want to 'jack this thread ya know. :lol:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Dang, can't live it down, and I was trying hard to behave. Even gave myself a 2 day suspension, maybe I could get it splain'd to me, doesn't seem to sink in

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

It's all good, keeping this thread on the front page only means that more blazer/jimmy owners have the chance to read it and with luck, will decide to show up.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I'll be try'n to get mine dun, looking forward to the road trip...Is it legal to use a 'ttt' for a thread like this?

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Looks like a fun time to be had. Would there be camping for those that would like to do so? And for those that would rather stay at a motel, how close are they? Also, a caravan of Blazers would be very cool, that should be coordinated, I am just off I95 between Frederickburg and Richmond VA, If I can help, let me know...If I get my heads rebuilt, and a couple of other minor issues worked out, I'm there.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Camping on site, just no hook-ups, Motel about 20-30 minutes

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Sir, to save me a bunch of typing do this for me please. Look at the pics in the last photobucket link in my siggy. It was of the national board meet 2008 for this site. If there is enough interest (and money)shown we'll do a weekend meet. If not we will have a meet on the 3ed Sat. in July. We are in the early phases of planning so stay tuned.......

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

:metal: props to the Tenn. zoo crew for helping out with this!

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I guess I'd better get my arse in gear if I'm going to be ready.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Are there fish in the puddle, and can we catch and release? I see it was 100 + degrees, can we use the kiddie pool? LoL

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

The "puddle" is stocked with catfish and bass.You can catch and release or clean and cook them. The "kiddie pool" is 21' across and 4' deep. It is a exercise pool for my wife and I. It will be decided when everyone gets here if we open it up for guests.

We have lots of reasonably priced motels close. Camping will be allowed if we have the porta potties and wash station in place. So just watch and see what develops. We have 16 1/2 acres and have trails on my neighbors 50 acres. We have plenty of room to have a great time. So talk it up and lets get this thing going.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

You sir, are a very hospitable person:metal:...I have dibbs on a camping spot next to the pond...LoL

I was wikapidiaing Big Sandy and saw a couple of drive-in's, Birdsong in Camden, also Valley in Waverly...If maybe you had plans for a cruise of some sort, that might make for a good time...Just a thought.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

It will definately need to be a weekend type event to make the drive worthwhile for those of us 800+ miles away.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

You guys come on down/over/up or wherever. I'm just outside Nashville and would gladly put somebody up if needed. I'm about 2 hours from Ron and my roadster will be done by then also.

Ron, you know the crew will help if you need anything.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I have no problem with this being a weekend (Friday, Sat., Sunday) and if you get here on Wed or Thur that's cool as is leaving Monday. I'm disable/retired so don't have to punch a clock. Whatever fits we'll try and do it. Hope the gas prices stay down and not kill us again next year.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

SO, I ask my wife if she wants to go to her mom's in July. Usually we go in the spring, and in late August. She will think something is wrong with me. I usually do not want to go to her mom's except on race weekends. Bristol Tennessee. I think I could have my 72 2WD ready for a road trip by then. I spent time workin on the stereo this weekend. The stereo is almost loud enough to drowned out the junk my kid listens to that I hate. ya'll can fill in the blanks about my music choices . I'M IN

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Sounds cool, no clue if mine will be road-trip worthy by then...

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

It don't matter if it is running or not. Get here anyway you can and you will be welcome. This is more about people getting together with others who share a common interest. So ready or not just come on and enjoy yourself.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Id have to say way too far for me to drive.... Other wise Id love to go..

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Fly in then, we'll pick ya up at the airport. ;)

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

VT beat me to it. Nashville, Jackson, or Memphis just let us know and we'll be there to pick you up. This may be the only chance for us to all shake hands. Don't miss out..

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I volunteer to pick you up in Nashville :)

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I can pick-up @ Memphis, I have 4 spare Bedrooms, and I am 1 hour to Ron's

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

A plane ticket isn't the worst idea. For people like me and AJ that have to drive real far I would think it would be acceptable to fly in just to meet up with everyone. It would suck not being able to drive the blazer up there but it would be worth meeting everyone.

EDIT: Even with gas cheaper right now it would be cheaper for me to fly rather than drive anyways.
