Wow, that's a hell of a drive just for a meet n greet, but its great that you'd drive all that way!
With Summer fast approaching, maybe we can set up the next meeting in the cool pines of Flagstaff or Payson. But we can work on that later on once we get the first event done. I know I wouldn't mind a day trip get away from the valley heat!!!
I drive to the valley every couple weeks for work so it's no big deal. I'm up by Flagstaff and the weather is still awesome up here. If we plan to do a cruise I'd suggest early June, anything later and it'll still be in the mid to high 90s during the day. Which is still better than the valley but you'll still have your AC on for sure.
