Please watch for pedestrians and try to keep dust to a minimum. >>> VERY IMPORTANT MESCAL NOTES: - After departing from our Tucson rendezvous points, there are NO other fuel stops en route to Mescal. - Each vehicle entering the TOWN portion of the Mescal site will be charged $20, regardless of the number of passengers inside. Those who leave their vehicles out in the service parking lot will not be charged. - We will do our best to coordinate one official photo of each Pontiac, Oakland, and GMC Truck as it enters, with the iconic Mescal Saloon as the backdrop. Please be patient and follow instructions provided by the volunteers. -All tow rigs and trailers are to be unloaded in the service parking lot and are to remain outside of the actual Town area, please. You may then drive your show vehicle into the Town area for display and photos. - Listen for announcements as to when and where the optional complementary hosted walking tour(s) will begin. No extra cost to enjoy this historic experience. - Mescal is a rustic, undeveloped site. It is NOT like a theme park with organized concessions, restaurants or vendors. There are no flush toilets onsite. Only porta-potties with hand-wash stations can be found there. - Complimentary refreshments will be available inside Mescal's Saloon, courtesy of the Valley of the Sun Pontiacs Chapter #107 - Depending on weather, it may be advisable to bring a hat and light jacket. - You may stay onsite as long as you wish, but between the walking tours of the historic buildings and the car photography, you'll likely be done around High Noon. SUGGESTION: Out-of-town visitors who plan to stick around Southern Arizona following our final Mescal takeover event ought to consider a tour of nearby Kartchner Caverns State Park while in the Mescal area. (Best if you search for it online and then make an advance reservation for a cave tour, beginning anytime after 1pm on Sunday; only a few lucky walk-ups without reservations are admitted each hour.) |
