You won't have any problems.

You should go Mike, it's a really good time. Great trails and good fun. I'll probably have to leave a few hours infront of you guys to make it there about the same time.

You've got two months and all the parts so I say lets start cutting and get that axle under there.

Steve and I have talked about this and he will probably bring a full bodied rig as well, so we will probably stick with the moderate trails (3's and 4's on Moab's scale).

Do you know if Josh is going this year?

Sorry to hear that Jim. Is he just getting bogged down with other work?

Truck or 4Runner?

What ever I feel like at the time. I have the new engine for the buggy here already, I just have to put it in. Even if I bring that thing, It can do easy stuff too.

More than likely I will bring the 4Runner.

111db · 03-24-2008, 06:59 AM

I'm going to try to make it to Moab as well, pending on work load.

dlbrunner · 03-25-2008, 11:47 AM

Are there any cabarets in Moab? It has been a few years since I have been there.

No.... but get a few beers in Schaefer and you never know what might happen.

Be sure to bring your extra dollar bills.

Doubtful...never seen any in that state...

Utah is BYOB (beer and b _ _ _ _ )

last year I had more weight in booze than spare parts

dlbrunner · 03-25-2008, 01:44 PM

I keep forgetting, the state of 3.2% beer..........

If you are going to haul a bunch of beer/booze, might as well throw in a few local "entertainers" for a "One weekend show!" Rent the local moose lodge, fab up a 2" DOM shiny pole.... Send out some flyers....Charge admission.....

Heck if the deal was brokered right, the trip could be paid for.

now who is willing to sit in a car for 8 hours with a dancer?

OK don't answer that.

You guys did bring an impressive amount of beer last year. I'll pack some in this year.

i_love_tacos · 03-26-2008, 04:37 PM

im gonna plan on making it to Moab this year. cant wait.

sschaefer3 · 03-27-2008, 04:44 PM

I just talked to Ben at the Silver Sage and the place is almost all full. I got a room, so plan ahead or you might have to stay somewhere else.

May 28 to June 1, Moab Utah.

AZ4ME · 03-28-2008, 10:25 AM

Got my reservation. They have plenty of rooms on Wed and Thurs nights, but only down to three rooms left for Fri and Sat. Two of those rooms are smoking.

Does Hughes have his reservations yet? The Sage seems like it is getting more popular every year.

Vermejo · 03-30-2008, 06:34 AM

What’s the camping situation like in Moab? Plenty of State, BLM and NP land on the map, what’s accessible and somewhat close to town? BLM offers group reservations only, anyone else interested? The site says they opened 4new camping areas.

Others may chime in about camping... but another option is to look for "cabins" in the Moab area. We stayed at one before and while the "cabin" itself was not much more than a shed with a couple beds and a TV, the rate was around $25 or less per night. They generally allow pets (if that's an issue) and located in campgrounds throughout town. Bathroom and showers are shared.

Try to make sure the "cabin" is in good shape. Perhaps ask for pics. The first time we got one, it was very rough. But was only $20 and made for a very good story to tell. Could have even slept 2 couples.

Cabin or tool shed?:

The 2nd cabin we found was much nicer. Even had a TV and was waterproof.

Thanks for the advice. I searched and found the Lazy Lizard amongst others, having good descriptions and pricing. Looks like the cabin set-up would be the winner.

If we could get a “bum group” staying at this kind of place it may make the accommodations all the better. Although, a hostel may not be the place to reek of gas guzzling adventure and park trucks.

Thats some of it, but remember it's all custom work. Its hard to put a deadline on something like this. I will be picking it up this weekend in AZ.
