2011 TW Moab trip

Doesnt matter to me
What does everyone else think? Change our next meet to a fall moab trip?

 

I mean after this next one. Do a meet in moab

 

...for me it would depend on the date and difficulty...

I hate the heat and I don't have the right mods for what I'd like to do. I need to get suspension, sliders, bumpers, and armor on so I can get past the ledges and bumps that have hung me up before.

Its such an awesome place that I would try to be there any chance I get - its just so irritating to see fabulous sights a mile away and not be able to get to them... you know.

I sort of have a goal set to get past a couple of specific obstacles that require much better departure and approach angles than my stock TRD has.

Still, I would never turn down a chance to visit the slickrock with like minded people... H

Truth is its close enough and big enough and fun enough to justify lots of trips there.

 

It will really depend on when I can get my sliders and suspension done. Its all ordered, but you know how fab'd things take a while to make...

It would really depend on dates due to work. I could probably pull off something for October pretty easy. September probably wouldn't as I have a project due that month (if it gets approved soon).

 

last time i went to moab just for a family cruise/ hike, they told me that they close the trails when its rainy (season). when is that?

 

Oh don't remind me... I just hope she doesn't come home with a Multi-Level idea!

 

Not sure, but I would guess October/November-ish. Of course Utah's weather is quite bi-polar anyway, so no one really can say until there's clouds overhead.

 

Talked to slickrock buddy and he says November is perfect. He also told me to suck it up and eat the dust (to put it nicely).

Also agrees the spring is great, but warned to watch out on rainy days - he's seen a fair number of slide offs when wet. He's likely to busy with his racing, family, and job to help with guiding - but I left the offer open.

Think I'll join the Red Rock 4 Wheelers - $40 to a good cause because they do a lot of work to keep Moab open for us - and a lot of work to maintain the area. They might be able to give us some help since they run the Jeep show on Easter.

Time to watch the British Grand Prix... H

 

... Ill be there... hopefully with my old and improved ride...

 

Just came across this... Pretty much opposite Moab but looks like a blast none the less.

Makes me wish we still had winters like we used to... It sure has been a long time since we've really had a good deep winter. Maybe this year.

 

I know...i dont even get snow piles to park on at work anymore :/

 

Count me in Shawn!

 

Put me "Maybe". I might be on TDY in Washington, DC sometime in May 2011. I don't know when is the exact date will be.

 

i think the super early notice lost interest
but at least a bunch of us are subscribed

 

It'll pickup when it gets closer to it.

 

Has a date been picked for this?

 

No.. If I could change the title I could do it for this year.. But we can always start another thread.

 

^ Just pm a MOD, they'll change it for you.

 

I'm glad I found this thread...been wanting to go to Moab. Are you guys still torn between November 2010 and May 2011? Or is it already set for May? Whatever the case I'll keep an eye out...sign me up!
