Early trip planning from the Midwest(and northeast) to Moab

I'm SERIOUSLY getting the jump start on planning a trip to Moab for the 2017 year. I am traveling from Northeast Ohio, so looking for others who will be passing through with the same destination and time frame. I personally will be looking at primitive camping the majority of the trip there and back.
AT THIS TIME I do not have any set date OR travel route that I need to follow but we have plenty of time to decide that. Majority of the trip will be EITHER I-80W or I-70W, it is literally a 10 mile difference for me so I will make that decision depending on my company.

Really this is more or less just a feeler to see who is planning on going, where your coming from, when are you going/leaving and what will you be bringing along the way?

 

Leaving from minnesota for rock theropy this year dont know dates yet i am waiting fo them from @NYCO

 

we'll get the official threads going when we finalize the dates, but we're tentatively looking at oct 18-21

yes, less bugs and better temps...was getting hot and the bugs were driving everyone mad! plus it's foliage around that time in moab

 

Me and a couple friends are talking about going up in May from the Atlanta area.

 

Might be headed to Moab out of Chicago late August

 

I'll be leaving montreal canada on June 02, I'll be driving on i-80 most of the way.
Will be on white rim trail, June 08&09. ..and the second week of june I'll be heading to California sequoia&kings valley

 

I drove 1300 miles from IL in December via I70. About 18 hour drive. Heading back in 2 weeks.
