Well since you have a Cherokee, go to yahoo groups and check out Socalxj, we are an unofficial club of sort, we post runs and have an annual Jamboree every year. You can get linked directly to it at
http://www.socalxj.com no dues, no meetings, just 4wheelin. The Jamboree will be in March out at Stoddard Wells on the 2nd weekend. There is info on it at the website but some of it is wrong and needs to be updated as we changed a few things, but you can always email me for the correct info as I am one of the ones that organizes it each year
