Tenting tonite on the old campground

CHW and I will be getting to Slickrock campground a week early on the 29th of SEP and are staying until Oct 12 - tenting. We expect some others from the East Coast will be arriving on some other days during that preliminary week

SRCG is a great place for a group like NAXJA - whether you're in tent, in one of their basic cabins, or in one of the RV hookup slots. And, I'm usually very, very down on "organized" campgrounds. The last few years I have gotten there at least the weekend before the official event (well, not last year. ran into a "problem" in OH and had to turn around :( ) and there's always some guys that are there early for some unofficial runs - a great time.

Really, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve - is it time yet? :p

I'll be arriving Sunday the 5th and departing Saturday the 11th...Weekend traveler since it'll take me 2 day to get there, and 2 back....

I'm not as hardcore a camper as Mike is, and my weary bones prefer the comforts of a cabin with a bed and a non leaky roof; as opposed to the tent route. I'll save the trails to batter my bones on... :twisted: For the price, the cabins are a screaming deal.

Ill be their. I got a hotel room (Girlfriends love them) back in town for the a few nights. Ill be driving out of So Cal on the 5th & return on the 11th.

KINGSIZE :D
 
I'm arriving on Saturday and leaving a week later

it's too far away to get too excited. :(
Okay, that's BS. I'm already into the thick of planning the raffle, sending out press releases, etc. that way I get the pleasure all year long. the scheming and dreaming is half the fun. Of course I get to meet the family there in June for a week's worth of warm up wheeling. (100 Plus degrees) :mrgreen:
 
20 Annaversary

What's the deal? Do I have to pay to play or are the organized runs free?

This is a free event, there's more info on the event info page. We'd still like everyone to register ahead of time, because we'll be selling tickets for the Friday night dinner and that will help us to plan how much food. Keep your eye on the NAXJA home page and we'll announce when we're ready to start registration and selling t-shirts and dinner tickets. You can just show up to the event, and attend the Friday evening festivities and not eat dinner, but there will still be a liability waiver to sign and a safety inspection before you can go on one of the runs. Registration will be set up each moring and evening at slickrock campground.

Tents? campgrounds? cabins? Ok I did use a tent one year but only because it was snowing in June the night before a 2 day White Rim excursion. My prefrence is an undisclosed desert location (that I use about once a year but I can never tell I've camped there, and it's free) with my sleeping bag on top of a ground cloth and the soft sandy desert floor, far enough from town to see all of the stars directly over my head and so quiet it seems anyone nearby can hear my thoughts. I tried a new location near Poison Spider last year but there where too many noisy neighbors and potash trucks. So weather permiting... I'll have to play it by ear as far as when I get there and for how long.
BTW I just got back from a spur of the moment overnighter mountain bike trip to the Slick Rock bike trail and the weather today was perfect for cycling but seeing those small groups that where wheeling Hells Revenge today sure made me wish my XJ was there too!!! I can't wait - Christmas comes in October this year!!!
 
We're bringing the new and improved rolling palace. Trying to talk the folks into a couple of days in CO afterwards for some truely insane wheelin' action. They're pretty well and hooked on the wheelin' thing so I don't think it'll be too hard. They just asked me today what the dates were so we can reserve our spot.

Sean, you're going to have to build them their own rig, or could end up riding much of the time. :D Of course, then you'll need a two vehicle enclosed trailer with a mini-workshop.............

Well, what do you think my plan is :lol:
 
I am tenting it. Got it reserved from the 4th to the 11th.
 
I'll be there

I'll be there the entire week. I should be there on sat and stay untill the following sat night. I have a cabin at Slick rock campground ....cant wait.

Can I get sworn in as head cook for the group dinner?
That way I can start planning to get a REAL grill out there ;-)

Re: I'll be there

Great! I usually stay with some local Moab friends but since I'll be doing Trail
Boss duties this year, it's probably best that I stay at Slickrock. Now that Chewy's gonna be cooking all my meals for me, I just need someone to split a cabin with.....preferably someone with reservations already, since there's only RV and tent sites left. :lol:
 
You can sleep on ....

Hey XJeeper ....The front porch of my cabin is all yours, or we can slide ya on Beezils trailor under his Xj! Either way you should be at the campground thats where the fun is.

Regards
Chewy

I'm looking for a group to do hamburgers on Tues night, we have the group eating area at Slickrock for it. It would be similar to what we did last year. Do you want to work on that? I think we would need a group of people to work on it so no one gets overloaded. If you want to do it again, see if you can recruit some others to work on it with you.

Chewy, I'd help ya out with the burning flesh duties. My folks will probably pitch in too.

Richard, I'm working on getting them a rig of their own right now. Looks like it's going to be a 2 XJ and 1 buggy family if everything works out right :) If everything [b:18a9901e6e]really[/b:18a9901e6e] works out right, we'll have all of them there.

THREE vehicles in tow behind the Rolling Palace? :shock:

Now, that'll be a sight to behold!

(got to make sure I've gotten through the Divide before you make the crossing - traffic'll be backed up for miles!)

Hey Sean, why not plan on hitting NACFest again this year? Be a good test run for this latest NAXJA fleet! Plus - Death Valley still has your name on it.
