Jerome Jamboree XXVII September 22-24, 2017 Jerome, AZ

[EverettB]

The Arizona Bus Club presents:
Jerome Jamboree XXVII (That's #27 for all you non-Romans)
Held in beautiful Jerome, Arizona at 5066' elevation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome,_Arizona

That's right...Don’s family (in memoriam) at the Gold King Mine Ghost Town in Jerome, AZ has agreed to let us play in his front yard again this year. Come join several hundred of your closest friends and a few hundred of their awesome Type-2's on the edge of Cleopatra Hill with the mountains of Sedona as our backdrop. In addition to live (and sometimes Dead) music(Fri. & Sat. evening), slow drags, corn hole competition, stein contest, chili cook off, kids events, raffle prizes, the world’s largest VW bus "Walter" (we hope)& his oversized friends(working on it)...you get a chance to win this year’s raffle bus for only $0.50 (really fifty-cents) with proceeds going to local charities.

Every year the ABC restores and raffles off a pre-67 split window bus and this year is no exception (sorry, this year is an exception). We been working on this year’s bus and boy is it a beauty...a 1972 Westphalia Camper VW bus. Feeling energetic and want to help work on what could be your new bus? Well visit our website for details on the work parties: http://www.azbusclub.org
If you come to JJ-XXVII expecting shade trees, barefoot grass and a babbling brook with KOA grade camping facilities...you are in for a treat because we have none of that. This fine facility is a large gravel parking lot which is mostly flat and devoid of any vegetation but there will be port-O-johns(Nice Johns), trash cans and "Bus Burger" concessions for your convenience. Basically...if you need it, you better bring it. OK we will be selling ICE and the town of Jerome is less a one mile. In addition Cottonwood is down the hill.

Besides the nearby historic mining town of Jerome...there is a really sweet attraction within staggering distance called the Gold King Mine Ghost Town and we highly recommend you save a $5 bill out of your raffle ticket fund (half price with JJXXVII paid bracelet) to tour the grounds for displays of relics from your parents, grandparents and great grandparents time from long ago...Don’s family may even bless us with a drive by of one of his many fine vehicles from up on the hill. http://www.goldkingmineghosttown.com

Anybody from the Riverside/Murrieta area going? Possible caravan?

[werksberg]

We was vacationing in Sedona last winter and took a drive up to Jerome.

They told us that unfortunately the guy died and the mine land was sold... and they had no clue what was going on with the land.

I wish I had check on here last month and planned to attend this year but didn't.

Here's an idea for you:

Next year continue the event but in Cottonwood Thousand Trails camp ground so an AZ version of Prado Dam camp out????
