Moab 2014

[TonkaPW]

So I see a few guys that can't make it for one reason or another and I was just wondering who is still planning on making it? I will be hitting the road on the 28th coming from VA and with this being my first trip I just wanted to know if there was a planned meeting spot. How do things normally work for these get together's ?

You run around town until you see another PW. LOL We most times have dinner at Eddie McStiff's on Thursday evening. PM your cell phone number to Leif. He has been the main contact there.

Hey Carlos, good luck with the job and the move. I'll miss having dinner with your family this year.

Thanks Rusty. Likewise, we were looking forward to meeting your wife, since we missed you last time you came out our way. It really sucks to miss the trip this year (or any year for that matter), but that's just the way the chips fell with this move. It's definitely good to be moving back home though, and being back in the same town again, hopefully Leif and I will be able to get out and wheel together more often now.

Chris, since I'm not going to be there this year, don't even think about Pritchett! If that word comes out of your mouth, you will wash it out with soap and go straight to your corner young man!!!

I'm still going. Will be there Thurs afternoon on the 1st. Wife and 9 yo daughter coming. My oldest has to stay behind for driver training. PM me your number and let me know if it's ok or not to share with the others via email who are going.

Still working out if/when I will make it. May be coming without the wife (she doesn't think it will be fun or that there will be other ladies around).

Also we have no reservations to camp anywhere...oops...

We need to pick out some trails. I've been on pretty much all of them so I'm open to pretty much anything except doing Poison Spider, then Golden Spike, then Gold Bar Rim.. That was a 16 hour day for a 23 mile round-trip.. Wife would kill me if I do that again.

We need a scenic trail for Fri and a technical for Sat. To get to Golden Spike you have to go through Poison Spider Mesa or Gold Bar Rim, so that's a hard one to pull off without a long day. For Scenic, Le Sal Pass is tough due to snow pack. We tried it one year and ended up turning around.

For technical, some of my favorites are Poison Spider Mesa and Hell's Revenge, but again, I'm open to anything really. Let's hear some ideas.

[ldgregory]

What do people think of Book Cliffs, Sego Canyon for the scenic trail? pg. 37 in the book for those of you who have it. For those of you who don't, it's highly suggested to get Charles A Wells Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails. It can be bought from Funtreks. However, given the short amount of time left for shipping it, you might want to wait to pick one up at the Moab Visitor's Center.

Cliffhanger, pg 99 might be fun for the technical. I've never been on it.

Also, please bring FRS/GMRS radios for communicating between trucks on the trails. Usually someone has a spare on hand (as you buy them in pairs) to loan if we need to.

[ldgregory]

Also, for those of you who haven't been to Utah before, if you're particular about your booze, you might want to bring your own. There's some good micro-brews in Moab, but Utah's got some strict laws on liquor.

Yep, always a good idea to stop in grand junction atleast from my direction thats what I do.

Having never been there. I am up for just about anything as well. What is the plan for Friday?

Any recommendations on these radio's and where to pick them up. I hit the road tomorrow morning coming from Washington DC.

[jeep_boy02]

And I thought San Diego to Missouri was a long enough trip

You can get them at just about any sporting goods or department store.

[Pit Slave]

And I'm still going. Do you need my cell number? It's the same as before.

I'm more than likely going to see you if you're going 70w. I'm starting in New Jersey.

As stated later, anywhere really. Heck, even Walmart sells them. Get something with at least 10 mile range. Not that we'll be that far apart, but you'll need the power in canyons and whatnot.

Food.....

For Thurs night dinner. Moab Brewery or Eddie McStiffs? Both have great food and drink.. With this many people we're going to want reservations. I'm thinking 6:30pm?

Fri night is BBQ night at the condos. Bring what you want to throw on the grill.

Sat night we could go out to dinner at whichever of the two places we didn't go to on Thurs.

[ldgregory]

Whoops, sorry BigRed2007.. Mixed your post and littletires..
