Wait, isn't March a little earlier for Moab? I thought we usually did it in May or June. The earliest I can remember it was late April. Isn't there still snow on some of the trails iin March?

Early March will definitely be out because of snow. Mid-March may work. Easter Jeep is 23-31th. I guess May is looking more realistic.

May works for me. As long as its either the 8/9th of March or after the last week in April I can go. I can't go if its during the time of finals.
On the other hand, when I went to Moab this March there was no snow on the trails I went on. Only exception was the snow in the La Sal Mountains.

I will probably be good for any of those dates. I'd like to think that my resurrected Explorer will be ready for anything by then.... saving up for the fuel cost to go that far is the big thing for me. It's been a long time..... gotta get back out to Moab!

I really like the way this is looking would be awesome to see a bunch of the umm well umm original that's a good word original group! Plus lots of new people too! As for funding I am starting this week I figure $50 a pay check is easily forgiven x2 checks a month x 12 months should cover the trip without much out of pocket when it gets here. At least thats my plan and I'm gonna try and stick to it!

Very tempted by this, depending on when the actual dates play out.

I would like to see the run held in May. May is the month we've had the biggest groups, and the best weather.
