    went to Arches NP in 2015. Thought it's a 44 mile round trip (inside park) will only take 1.5 hours to drive through.... Wrong was I. Wife and I stopped at every parking area took photos, didn't take any hiking trails (there are a lot and most arches are down them) still took us almost 4 hours to go through. Plan accordingly, highly recommend going to NPS website and looking at the maps ect to plan.

    Yeah I think this is the same crew that messaged me on IG. 6 of them will be out at HF next weekend, and hopefully plan to come to the meetup as well.

    @ChadsPride I won't be camping next weekend, but will be out there from March 22-25th. Next Saturday is just a day excursion for me. Seems like at least 2 crews of 4Runners will be camping though.

    Totally just realized I am on call next week... when St. Patty's day is on a Saturday that I don't work... Welp, at least my wife and friends have the DD situation figured out already.

    But the wife and I still plan on attending the meetup in the am with y'all. I'll just be grumpy and sober :rofl:

    Good deal!! That's my 1yr anniversary weekend staycation with the wifey. :(

    I'm going to pick up some camping gear from my dads place next week.

    I really feel like pitching a tent and having a beer by the fire.

    Living in Colorado for 15+ years I regret not making more trips to Utah. It was so close then. Hell, I regret not seeing more of Colorado.

    Ha, and our plan includes a day or two in Colorado so we can play with some snow. Definitely exciting
