Welcome to the site from Big Sandy, West Tennessee. I have been to Goose Creek several times during my 30+ years of truck driving. I would hate to have to chose between the grand canyon and the meet but know which I would choose. (the meet of course) Hope to see you in July.

Easy choice, the Grand Canyon will be there next year, a local meet-n-greet chuck full of 1st gens won't.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners

The Grand Canyon trip is pretty much paid for and not by me, Should know more in a day or two. Just like everyone else on here I have some things to do before the trip, no major problems in the reliability area just cosmetic.

Heck I will just load up the tool box(duct tape,bailing wire electrical tape and some nylon tie straps) check the fluid levels and go! But I am thinking maybe I should get some good cell phone #'s and someone lined up from home to come rescue me if the need arises.

That'd be most excellent.

Maybe for the new year, we should start a poll of those who plan to attend.


Given I get this crate together, I'm there.
