Who is going to Moab Fall Fling - from SOCAL?

[rpraterxj]

Mods- please don't move this as it pertains to SOCAL...thanks

Hey gang,

I may get to make my very first trip to Moab! If it all works out, we will bring my XJ and Odette's TJ. We will drive up on Wed (Oct 3rd), wheel Thur & Fri, and leave on Sat. Stop in Veags and see some friends.. drop a few nickles...I really hope everythign works out and we are able to go!

So who's going? When you leaving? Anyone want to caravan up on Wed?

Anything special I need to prepare for?

PM sent to ya !

 

[djblade311]

both vehicles eh? I might hit ya up for a seat for a passenger of mine. my rig is getting full.

Nicole, Gianna, myself and my friend Tommy are leaving on Tuesday morning staying till Sunday morning. We have 2 other friends who are interested but not confirmed yet.

The only thing you need to bring is lots of GOOD beer since Utah beer is weak.

I will be leaving on Monday 1st, probably stay in StGeorge or around Monday night & arrive up there on tuesday & staying untill Sunday 7th (my birthday:woohoo: ) . Got my girls coming & my bro from Australia, we are staying at Slickrock campground.
Cant wait!!

Well I let this out of the bag last night... Suzanne and myself are planning to leave late afternoon on tuesday, and spend the night at state line then drive to moab on Weds... We have already booked our room, and will most likely leave on saturday morning heading home... This is all contingent on getting the black beast up and running on more than 3 cylinders...

I expect to have the yota axle swap in my samurai done by then, and considering I've never been to Moab, It'd be nice to caravan you guys

I might pack a case of beer into someones rig, if they have room for it. I'm flying out and have a jeep waiting for me in Moab. I dont have time for 12 hours of driving each way, plus sleeping the drives off.

I'm leaving on Saturday, September 30 and coming back the following Saturday.

Well...that's the plan anyways.

726.06 mi x 2 = 1452.12 miles

1452.12 mi / ~250mi/tank = 5.8 call it 7 tanks of gas because I will need to fill up when I get home, plus another 1 or 2 in Moab to wheel on, 9

9 tanks of gas at a low average of $55.00/tank = $495.oo

I can't afford this at least not this year! Hope to see you in '08
