[DrMoab]

Remind me again the date you have the camp spot on WRT reserved for?

 

[OverlandZJ]

Evening of the 8th at Murphy's. We will be in Moab area by mid day the 6th if all goes to plan.

Give me a ring when you can Ryan.

John, just wanted to say you suck for this trip. I wish I could go play... I know you will have a blast, take lots of pics man, and I expect a full report.

~ Stump

(while I am bashing you, I still cant believe you are getting rid of the XJ...)

 

[OverlandZJ]

Wish you could have joined us too Stump!

I'm going to count on Ryan to take the better images on WRT, but i'll keep the P&S busy and set the GoPro cam to snap every 5 sec. I'll throw up pics and updates as i can along the way.

You'll like what i have planned for the ZJ.. :repair:

You bought just a body? Or your wanting a fancy lens?


We should end up with a ton of images from the trip. I'll send everyone a disc after we get back.

I dropped my camera with my good lens on the glass the other night trying to film the meteor shower. I have to send it back to Nikon, I hope they can get it back to me before we go. Otherwise I might have to rent a lens or two.

Swampy...this is always an option for you too.

Check out www.lensrentals.com. Their prices are pretty decent. It would allow you to get a really nice $2000.00 lens for about a hundred bucks a week.

Postal,

John and Bryan forget about me:smootch:, I am just that kind of guy.irate1: My brother and his XJ, along with me and my XJ are doing the WRT with John and Bryan. There was no room for us on John's permit at Murphys for 9/8, so I got a permit at Candlestick for 9/8. I have one opening on my permit, if John hasn't promissed it to somebody else.. We will be at Devil's Kitchen in Needles for the night of 9/9. I have one vehicle and tent left on my site there. I assume Ryan is taking the third spot on John's permit, but he would need to confirm that. We leave Canyonlands on 9/10 and it is off to BLM land and freedom to camp whereever we want. Would you like to join the party?

I just talked to my brother and he promissed the last space at Devil's Kitchen to a bud. Sorry Postal, if you were planning to come.

oh no i got a lense too its just the one that came with it 35 -55 std type lense .. i plan to upgrade eventually , i would like a nice zoom and a wide angle when i can afford them,

 

[OverlandZJ]

Permits are confirmed, vehicles are almost fully prepped, expectations are high, and good times with great people are just 15 days away.

It's been a long wait, but will be over before we know it. My desire to move west will once again be a daily thought...

 

[DrMoab]

Well, I got a whole set of (expensive) Moog ball joints in. Track bar bushing and alignment coming today.

Can't wait to hook up with you guys.

 

[OverlandZJ]

It's crunch time now..

mofo is rebuilding a steering box, swampman just swapped his fuel tank after springing a leak and i have my 242 out awaiting a rebuild kit due in tomorrow.

Wish we had just a few hours drive like you Ryan... see ya soon.


11 and a wakeup.

 

[DrMoab]

Transmission is flushed. Engine oil is changed. Tcase oil is changed. Track bar bushing replaced. I think I'm getting ready.

Wireless cards from carriers down here are really expensive. I think they run around $60 a month and make you get a two year contract.

Most of the restaurants and hotels around Moab have Wi-Fi but I doubt you will be around them much.

I have AT&T and an iPhone that I use for most of my internet while I'm out and about.
