For those that are going: are you...

I'd love to come over for your event, but just don't think it's going to be feasible this year. The $700+ I'd blow on the trip has a motor written all over it. Plus, I'll be going to welder boy school full time then. Yep, I'm getting certified so that all this junk I'm building doesn't kill me due to lack of knowledge and improper technique.

Sean

p.s. Mike, why don't you guys have a forum up and running yet? Tellico is after you guys and they've got it goin' on.

Sounds like a great place to pitch a tent....on Beezils trailer, excellent. Hopefully I don't have to share the space with his junk...........

XJEEPER
 
We'll be using the weekend before to travel so we should show up around the 6th or so, we'll be staying in the bus, prob leave after the dinner on friday or early sat morn, need to be back to work on monday
 
Goat ,

Sure I'll do it ..... .... I'll round up a crew to get it done. Last years was good only suffered from lack of grillage. So this year the plan will be to get a real grill and blaze up.

Now if i could only get the ARB fringe i could bring some Chicago style out there ;-)

Sean if ya want to help thats cool we can work it out and tell your moms i will get enough fire to get her burger well done ;-)
But you cant forget stuff on tables and walk away, i heard you got problems w/ that sorta thing lol

regards
chewy
 
Chewy, that's great....thanks!

We have the central eating place at Slickrock available if we want to use it, or we can set up on the grass by the basket ball court in the back corner. Hopefully, we'll have too many people to set up in the middle of camp like we have the last couple of years. We'll coordinate more as we get closer, but I'll count on you to get together a team to put it on. Get plenty of help, we should have well over 100 people. We'll need to charge something rather than count on donations like we have before, but I think we can just put out a bucket and tell everyone to put in $3-$5, whatever we decide. Any idea how much you guys spent last year, and how many were served?

can find out

Beezil was in charge of the cash and Danno would know what was left in the donation hat. Danno would also have a better hand on the # of people that were chowing down.

I agree w/ a flat fee....... we can spruce up the menu since we have time to plan.
Last year we got that meal together in no time flat and it went pretty well.

Goat Ill email ya w/ more

This will be our first really long trip in the motorhome. We are really looking forward to it. We've already got reservations at Slickrock.

Also how many days are you planning to stay?

Leaving Los Angeles on the 4th. We plan on visiting friends in Las Vegas Saturday night. We'll leave Vegas early Sunday morning. BTW... anybody know how long it might take us to get to Moab from Vegas?

Vegas to Moab should be in the 4-5 hour range, depending on your driving style and how fast you can tow your junk.

Jeff, it's a little longer than that. Since I go this route every year, I'm familiar with the trip. I'd say it's 7 to 8 hours, not towing. Last year we stayed in Vegas for the night, left at 7 am, and pulled into Slickrock mid to late afternoon, with 1 hour of time change. Going home, we ran Moab Rim, packed our gear, left early afternoon, and got to the hotel in Vegas between 10 and 11 pm, gaining an hour.

I figure the whole trip to Moab is about 12 to 13 hours, and I'm 4.5 hours to Vegas.
 
Towing not towing, once you're out of California it's all about the same. 70 to 80 mph.

Vegas to Moab is right in the 7-8 hour range. Done it too many times. Hate the drive until the last 10 miles down 190 into Moab, then it's all ok!

We'll be driving out the 5th, 6th & 7th, staying in a motel the night of the 7th when we arrive in Moab, tent-camping the 8th, 9th & 10th, motelling again the evening of the 11th, and driving back to NJ over the 12th, 13th & 14th.

We're bringing "Baby Jeep", our '01 Limited UpCountry, pulling the 1/2 MJ trailer for all the gear. I intend to add another inch of lift, 3.73 gears, rear discs & No-Slip locker so we can comfortably run the 30" MT's with no rubbing.

I hope to bring my beast in future years, but for our inaugural cross-country trip we are taking the comfortable ride.
 
Mark:

C'mon, the 5th is a SUNDAY! You want to sleep late on Saturday morning instead of getting another day in Moab???

We'll be starting the scheduled trailrides on Tuesday the 7th, and the first day is usually a very good intro (at all levels), especially for someone who hasn't been before. Get rolling on the 4th, and into Moab by Monday sometime!

You won't regret the extra effort - promise.

Mike in NJ :patriot:
 
I hope to be there on the 10th i will be bringing the tent trailer and family i live out side of slc so it wont be a bad drive for me especially since i put 4.10 gears in the xj :yelclap:
 
We will be arriving on the 9th, sometime midday, and staying until the 12th. Don't know when we will leave, dpeends on how long it takes to get there. Looking forward to it.

Fergie
 
we have a tent trailer, but.....

i don't want to drag it 1200 miles, so pam and i will be tenting next to our friends- we hope.
 
Will be arriving sometime on the 6th, in the afternoon. Staying until the 11th. Got a campsite reserved at Slickrock campground.
 
Shelly and I will be arriving on the evening of the 6th. We will be leaving on the morning of the 12th. We have a covered tent camping site. We are looking forward to seeing our good friends again...
