theChad Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The 9th Annual Father's Day Cruse and Picnic is once again scheduled for a wonderful drive to Cottonwood and optionally on to Sedona. This is the weekend before Father's Day so everyone can still celebrate the holiday with family. The picnic destination in Cottonwood's Garrison Park, last year, was almost as perfect as you could ask for. Plenty of picnic bench seating under a huge ramada, and additional shade trees for those that want a true blanket picnic. You are required to bring your own sack lunch or food to grill for a picnic. Two charcoal grills are available to cook your own, but you will also be required to bring any items necessary to grill. E.g. Charcoal, fire, utensils, etc. There's one medium sized ramada with 6 picnic tables, a nearby restroom, and a playground. There is limited parking next to the ramada, but plenty of spaces, just a short distance, SE of the ramada and playground. WHEN: Saturday, June 9th (Weekend before Father's Day) Destination: Garrison Park, Cottonwood, AZ (Picnic spot) Who: ACE members post up in this thread if you can make it, I'll update the 1st post with the list. theChad +1 Extender32 +1 Chameleon 1 Sik GS +1 chas4570 +1 suprone +1 1970TWO NOVA +1 aenigma +1 Jasom +1 Marco +1 Andrew DeFaria Extender32 +1 (Wickenburg) Drewstein Logistics & Directions: Multiple valley congregation points will form and all proceed to the McDonalds @ I-17 / Carefree Hwy for the launch point.

Probably same time next year, so plan for that! 12 minutes ago, Andrew DeFaria said: Brandy new here. I'd like to make this. What do I need to do? Just show up at that McDonalds on time? Yeah... I'll add you to the impromptu "going list", and all you need to do is show up before the departure time at the launch point as noted in the first post... or at the other intermediary points (S/E side) that cruise together to congregate at the launch point. See ya there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
