Where does everyone stay?

Anyone active duty military? Park Creek Campground is free for military and their family.

"Effective until US troops come home, all active military and their immediate families may stay at Pack Creek Campground at no charge. You're paying your cost of admission by serving! A unit patch would be appreciated"

They are a little bit away from Slick Rock but it could be worth it for some. I have not talked them about a place to park a trailer for your rig so do not know if they have anything. I was hoping to check it out last Friday but I was with TRNDRVR and Remi in a trip that has been talked about in the Intermountain Chapter. A four hour trip that eneded up being 10 hours. Still had a great time even though I was riding bitch.

Who cares if its a little ways away...thats a heck of a good deal!

And good for them for being so generous. Maybe it will bring some paying business their way too.
 
I just talked to them to see if they would have a spot for my trailer and was told yes. It would be cool if his support for the military brought him some other business.

You all may see me down there as a guest. I can't seem to get away from you XJ guys. It doesn't help that my neighbor is TRNDRVR. He won't be going though. We are doing the Rubicon right before then.

Hummm, not even Wednesday! He must have an excuse, probably the Rubicon again :dunno: (I know he really just doesn't like seing my rig in his rear view mirror down there :shhh: )
 
He has to save his last couple of days off for Johnson Valley in November. I am trying to get leave for the Rubicon in September, come back for one week and go to Moab then go to JV in November. It will be tough but with a totally redone rig (still in shop) I should be ready for it.
 
I've got reservations at Slickrock, Wed thru Sat. Tent site for 3 nights, cabin for 1 night. This is my 1st trip to Moab. After reading this thread, I'm thinking about getting something a little more "comfortable" then sleeping in the heap and putting all my gear in the tent.

"..large tent site (116) ..". I hope this is a good place.

You've got a great spot. Stayed there on all of my trips to FallFest (and if I was camping on this trip I would have snagged it again months ago). Back in the corner, plenty of room since there's no site to your south. Under the trees keeps things from getting too hot during the day. Close to the never ending circus in front of the cabins, but just far enough back to get some rest when you need it.

It served as the official HQ for the North Atlantic Chapter on those trips so it's good to see it occupied by a resident of Europe (which we've always considered to be unofficially a part of NAC! :D)

Enjoy!

my cabin is right smack in the middle of it too. :angel:
what is the legality of beer kegs in Utah? my buddy thats coming with me is an assistant brewmaster at our local joint.. :viking:

looks like i'm driving 2500 miles to get drunk...
 
I am pretty sure that beer kegs are not legal here in Utah. They have not legalized adulthood yet. I would bring it anyway just keep it in the cabin. You would be taking advice from someone that bootlegs beer into the state because the beer here sucks.

i always bring some "special" east coast brew for TRNDRVR when i come out. maybe a keg is a bit daring.. we'll see :shhh:
 
How much good beer can I bring in before being considered a smuggler and facing huge fines?
 
Not sure on how much. I have brought in more then 10 cases at a time but never got pulled over. I can atleast get some ok beer on base to so that helps to keep me sane.

which is why i'm asking what the legal limit is.

I realize that this is an open forum. I also realize that Utah liquor laws are ridiculous. I admit to being a horrible person and brewing my own beer and yes even boot legging in the year 2008.

Now here is a good answer to IslandOffRoad’s question. From the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control:

"MAY I BRING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INTO UTAH ?
No. Under Utah law "alcoholic beverages" include all hard liquor, spirits, wine and beer. Beer and other malt beverage products that exceed 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4.0% by volume are considered "liquor", and beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% or less is defined as "beer".

Utah is a control state, and only the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) may lawfully have liquor products imported and shipped into Utah. Private individuals may not lawfully import or transport them into the state. Manufacturers and suppliers of these products may only supply them to the DABC. Only the DABC through its state liquor stores, package agencies, licensees and permittees may sell liquor products in Utah. Possession of liquor products not purchased from the DABC is strictly prohibited. Also, licensed restaurants and private clubs cannot allow patrons to bring wines onto the premises if they were not purchased in Utah. Other Utah laws prohibit the unlawful importation of beer products into Utah.

There are very few exceptions to these laws. A person coming from a foreign country who clears U.S. customs in Utah may possess, for personal consumption, two liter bottles of liquor purchased outside of Utah. Also, a person who moves his permanent residence to Utah or maintains separate residences both in and out of Utah, may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor purchased outside of Utah. However, the person must first obtain DABC approval prior to moving to Utah; and upon the arrival of the product, the DABC will affix the Utah label to the liquor for an administrative handling fee. A person may not obtain approval from the DABC under this exception more than once. A person may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor inherited as part of an estate that is located outside the state and brought it into Utah, after obtaining the approval from the DABC and paying the required administrative handling fee.
Finally, accredited foreign diplomatic missions that establish a mission presence in Utah may ship, possess and purchase alcoholic beverages under certain exceptions granted under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. For more information, click here.

Unless one of these exceptions applies, it is clear you may not bring alcoholic beverages into Utah for any purpose whether it be for personal consumption, to serve at your hospitality house or at a private social function, or to give or sell to others."


That is not the answer you wanted I am sure because it does not allow any beer to be brought in. I have served my country for close to 20 years and if the worse thing I do is bring in beer that is over 3.2% for my own consumption I am doing better then most.
