Destination is Rancho de los Caballeros Resort in Wickenburg.
We will meet at the Albertson’s center located about 1/2 mile east of
I 17 on the north side of Carefree Highway gather in the parking lot on
the east side of the McDonalds.
Please arrive no later than 9:15 AM and we’ll depart at about 9:30
AM.
Please have your name tag, a full fuel tank your club radio and this
route guide.
We plan to arrive at the resort at approximately 10:45.
When departing the starting point, we will travel west on Carefree
Highway about 20 miles to Hwy 60 and turn north to Wickenburg. Continue
on Hwy 60 through Wickenburg and follow it west about 2.5 miles until
you see Vulture Mine Rd. There is a Safeway store on the NW corner of
Vulture Mine Road and Wickenburg Way (Hwy 60) to help you find the left
turn to the resort. In about 1 mile you will see the entrance to the
resort. There are signs to take you to the main dining room and
parking lot. Or, you can enter the address in your GPS: 1551 south
Vulture Mine Road, Wickenburg, 85390. The overall distance is roughly 55
miles.
We have reserved the entire main dining room exclusively for our
club. We will arrive a bit early to select our seating, but we can have
an adult beverage and socialize until the buffet opens at noon.
Your fee for this fantastic all-you-can-eat custom buffet is $25 per
person including gratuity and tax. The actual cost is $48 per person
meal; the club is picking up the $23 per person difference, one way we
have of returning your annual club dues. The resort requires a single
payer for the entire group so we will collect $25 cash from each person
when you arrive and mark you as paid on the attendance list. Please have
the correct cash handy to make this task easier for us.
This is definitely an “upper level,” five-star resort and they have a
dress code. Men must have shirts with a collar and wear long trousers
like Dockers or blue jeans. For the ladies, please wear a dress, slacks
and blouse or sweater.
We will arrive at 11:00 and the buffet opens at 12 noon. When you
finish your main meal, you will want to dig into some of the
extraordinary desserts they have prepared just for our group. This
buffet has been custom created with special requests like a prime rib
cutting station and other upgrades. There will be a bar setup for our
group in the main dining room or you can use the main bar, in the lobby.
Adult beverages are at your own expense.
Right now, it looks like we will have about 65 attending.
We look forward to another fantastic Christmas Party at the resort
and the opportunity to socialize and enjoy the company of the members.
Thanks.
