Arrive in Laughlin http://www.riversideresort.com/map/index.html anytime on Thursday 11/2 for a day of gambling, shopping, bowling, hiking, watersports, riverboat rides and a museum tour of the 70 cars in Don Laughlin's collection. Check into the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino anytime after 1:00 PM.
A room rate of $25.00 for riverview rooms or a $19.00 rate for standard rooms has been arranged. Don't forget to purchase your tickets for the Everly Brothers Concert in the Celebrity Showroom for Thursday evening.

Friday 11/3 at 8:00 AM we will depart the Riverside Resort and head for the ghost town of Oatman, Arizona. http://www.route66usa.com/arizona.html Bring some goodies to feed the many tame burros that wander freely about the town. The burros were left over from the gold rush days and now are somewhat of a tourist attraction. Plan on taking comfortable shoes and if you wish, we will take a tour of a real working gold mine near Oatman.
Departing Oatman we will pass over the main tunnel of the gold mine which is 265 feet directly beneath Route 66 before following Route 66 to the Kingman area for gas and a lunch at the Sonic Burger where they still use car-hops on roller skates.
Departing Kingman we will again follow Route 66 making stops at Hackberry, Peach Springs and past Grand Canyon Caverns (maybe a visit?) http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/feb/stories/gccaverns.html into Seligman and on to Ash Fork and then to Williams for dinner at Rod's Steakhouse before traveling on to the Little America Resort in Flagstaff, Arizona for a social evening before retiring for the evening. The cost of the rooms at the Little America Resort Hotel for Friday and Saturday nights is included in the $225.00 cost of the event.

Saturday 11/4 will again depart at 8:00 AM, this time from Flagstaff via Highway 89 north, about 100 miles to the Grand Canyon. http://www.nps.gov/grca/ Plan on spending quite some time at the Grand Canyon and having lunch before returning to your car for a trip back to Flagstaff via Highway 180. Dinner is planned at Black Barts Steakhouse in Flagstaff (just across the street from Little America) for Saturday evening. Black Barts has been highly reccommended as the servers are mostly students at ASU and perform a musical revue every 30 minutes during your dinner. You will offered a choice of 4 different menu items (Prime Rib (12 oz), Broiled Salmon, Broiled Chicken or a Full Rack of BBQ Ribs) the cost of this dinner for 2 is included in your $225.00 deposit for the event. After dinner we will cross the street back to the Little America Resorts lounge for a relaxed walk through the pine cover grounds or a social hour or two in the lounge.

Sunday 11/5 after a breakfast in the coffee shop, all events are optional as I know that many will wish to start their journey home. I am planning to return to California by way of Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome and Prescott and I hope to have many of the Arizona Gang follow me for this half day event before they head south on their way back to the Phoenix area. For the people returning to Northern california and Nevada, it would make a nice beginning to your trip to also follow along to Prescott before turning north on Highway 89 to connect with Highway 40 near Williams for you westbound trip home. After departing Prescott I will continue on Highway 89 to Wickenburg and then on via Highway 60 to connect with westbound Highway 10 near Quartzsite.

The Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA Show) is in Las Vegas October 31 - November 3, 2000. http://www.aaiwshow.com/
If you are interested in attending. Please check out my post anout the SEMA Show for more information.

There are Nascar Races in Phoenix at PIR on 11/4 & 11/5 http://www.desertstarclassic.com/schedule.shtml if you are interested in attending. A few people will undoubtedly depart Flagstaff and make a quick run to PIR for the races. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you in touch and help you make the needed arrangements.

A few quick notes to make sure that everyone understands what is included and not included in this event.....
The only expenses that are included in your $225.00 deposit is 1 dinner for 2 at Black Barts and the cost of 2 nights lodging for 1-4 people at the Little America Resort in Flagstaff. All other lodging, meals, gas, park passes, SEMA Show passes, entries and misc. costs are to be paid by the participants.

While at Laughlin you just might be able to win enough money to buy a new Sparkle Orange Prowler and pay for your trip.

Please take some time off to join us for this once in a lifetime event. You can very easily make a long week of car events if you are a hard core car addict.
I have 20 rooms on hold for Friday night and 35 rooms on hold for Saturday night at the Little America in Flagstaff. More rooms will be added as we need them.

Deposits must be made no later than October 15, 2000.
The weather in Flagstaff http://weather.yahoo.com/almanac/Flagstaff_AZ_US_f_10.html is pretty cool at this time of year. Be sure to bring some warm clothes and jackets.

Due to the fact that some people may attend as a single instead of a couple, and the fact that some may only be able to attend one day instead of two, I have decided to price everything "ala carte" for this event.

The rate of the Little America Resort hotel is $65.00 per night. (including taxes it becomes $71.43) for either 2 queen beds or a king mini suite.

The price of dinner at Black Bart's Steakhouse is $25.00 per person with a choice of 4 entrees (ribs, chicken, prime rib or salmon) including all tips and taxes.

The T-shirts will be embroidered with the ProwlerOnline logo that was used for the Woodward Cruise over the left breast area. A small ProwlerOnline.com will be embroidered on the lower right sleave and the wording "Grand Canyon Tour 2000" will be embroidered under the breast logo. This shirt will be a collectors item intended only be sold to those who attend the event on Saturday for the tour to the Grand Canyon. There is no limit on the quantities that you may purchase. This will be a high quality T-shirt with contrasting embroidery. The cost of the shirt will be in the $20.00 range. Please note that the shirt is embroidered and not silkscreened. A little more money, a lot nicer shirt.

The Dinner Tickets and the T-shirts will be purchased directly from me. Please send a check to;

If you are ordering T-shirts, be sure to include the sizes.

The Hotel reservations and costs will be direct with the Little America Resort Hotel by calling the reservations desk at 1-800-352-4386 and requesting the Prowler Owners Association group rate. There will be a special, roped area to park in and some security will be provided by the hotel.

The Everley Brothers Concert will take place at the Riverside Resort and Casino in Laughlin on the evening of November 2, 2000 if you care to attend. The cost of the concert is $37.50 per person.

I'm sorry for not making this an all inclusive event but I just don't have the time to do it that way and I feel that making it "ala carte" will enable everyone to plan the type and length of event that best suits their needs and time frames.

This event will be run much like the Hot Rod Power Tours are run. You will be in charge of what and where you do and go. I will supply the general schedule and itineraries and will do everything that I can to make you time with us enjoyable. In this way I can make it much more fun for you because of the oppotunities to do small side trips and stops as you wish. It also allows me to still have some fun buy not having to completely plan your every move.

I hope this helps to clarify some of the questions that have already been asked, and answer the many more that I'm sure are coming.
