Brian, I'm thinking that BB meant that the reserved rooms are for next year's fourth of July weekend, not the run to the pines.

A good thing is that the rates are $20 a night less in September than for the fourth.

Karl do you have the number handy so I can call the O' Sawmill....:confused:
Thanks!

Brian

The Sawmill rooms BB is talking about are indeed for July 4th next year.

Done... Friday AND Saturday nights (we need a break! from our loving children)

L8R,
Brian

Keep Show Low in mind for motel rooms too. Only about ten/fifteeen minutes away from the show and lots of recently built motels in the area.

Ok, you smooth talkers, I changed my room reservatons to the Saw Mill Inn for both Friday and Sat nights. Will drive up Fri afternoon, go to show Sat, and to home Sunday morning after I sober up.

another option
 

You might give the Bison Resort Suites a try. Brand new rooms. Grand Opening special is $79 per night. Beautiful place.
Phone 866 34-Bison.

Sean, you sound like you have an interest in the place. How was the cruise?

A little brown nosing never hurts. The cruise was awsome but my speedo is a little snug after all those buffets.

I'm gunna be sick.

Does this mean Sean's car is finally running? How many years has it been?

Will Mike D's be done sooner?

Mike

No Mikie, this was an ocean cruise, not a cobra cruise. My car was running, I think I had the only steam powered cobra in existence. I just installed some Windsor II heads and am taking care of some little things before I put it back on the road. See you at Run to the Pines!

Sat AM Pinetop Parade
 

Just a reminder for anyone planning to drive up to the Run To The Pines show on Saturday morning:

There has always been a parade through Pinetop that usually starts around 10 am Saturday morning and this parade results in the main drag (Hwy 260) through Pinetop being blocked off for a couple of hours.

What this means is a very long, slow, single file detour around 260 that can easily overheat even the coolest running driver. It also can mean an entrant to the show won't arrive early enough to get in on all the voting and will likely miss out on many voting ballots. (every entrant gets a ballot to vote for other entrants cars and many complete their voting by noon Saturday).

So, as a spectator, you might want to either get to the show before the Pinetop parade starts or plan on arriving after the parade is over (noonish).

For entrants, I'd recommend getting to the grass as early as possible because even the line of entry cars can get quite long and slow moving.

Other concerns while driving up here are:

Washed out rocks/boulders through both the Salt River Canyon (Hwy 60) and the Mogollon Rim east of Payson (Hwy 260). Also a couple of places nearer to Show Low on 60 where the road has been widened recently.

Deer and elk on either highway.

Empty Krispy Kreme boxes - particularly in the Lakeside area.

Welcome to the White Mountains, Drive safe and enjoy the show.

:cool:

Neal.

Glad to see you are still lurking around here.
