    I already have the drive out to Moab plotted. Was planning to do it this year, but things change.

    Everyone meet in Lake City to depart on the trek across the country.

    1st overnight in North Texas - Roughly a 14 hour drive
    Day 2 should put us into Moab in the early evening.

    Ball joint spacers and lift blocks, am I doing it right?
    You may want to reconsider June. June through September in Moab can be well over 100 in the daytime. Most do spring or fall for that reason.

    The up side is you won't be fighting the crowds.
