This year we'll be going to Moab the weekend after Memorial Day, June 3-5, 2005. Since most of us have already been to Moab, I'll keep this year's signup simple. If you have not attended before, you can ask any questions you want to in the Moab chitchat thread at http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=126513 and get all the help you need to find out about hotels/etc.

If you are planning on attending, please reply to this thread with the following info:
- number in your party
- your estimated arrival and departure time/dates
- where do you plan on staying?
- trailrun wishlist
- will you attend a group dinner on Saturday at the Branding Iron; and if so, how many will be attending?
- there is the possibility of an additional trailrun immediately after the main event; probably a full extra day through Lockhart Basin or either a two-day excursion to the Hole in the Rock trail or the Canyonlands Maze. Hole in the Rock is a 4-rated trail and would be a two-day run beginning Monday with camping that night on the remote trail - the trailhead is 150 miles from Moab, it is a 60 mile trail, and 2drs should probably pack extra fuel. Would you be interested and available to do this run if it happens?

Once you reply to this thread I'll edit you into the list in the next post in order to keep the info at the top and easy to find. Finally, PM me with your real name and phone number and let me know if you are willing to let the others on the run have it. Before the run I plan to PM a list of phone numbers to the participants willing to share each other's numbers so we can call each other if we want to. The phone number list will be kept private and off of this public board.

This year's thread is being kept simple since most of us are veterans. If you think it needs additional info, let me know

Let's get this started!

Preparation:
The following items are required to participate on this trip and are taken from the "Trail Equipment" article's "Required" list.

If this is your first time to run Moab, get ready for the fourwheeling trip of your life! Do not shortchange yourself and encumber others by coming unprepared.

).

If you are going on a morning trip, pack a lunch and trail snacks, beef jerky, fruits, dry/canned food, etc. If you are going on an afternoon or all day trip, assume you may spend the night in the vehicle and pack accordingly: medications, flashlight, batteries, matches/lighter, and blankets & gear appropriate to the environment, area, and season.

Jefe just posted that he'd like to run Moab Rim, so I added myself to that wishlist.... once others post where they'd like to go, if you'd like to join that run, post in this thread again and I'll add you to that run's wishlist. That will help us get a semi-accurate idea of interest in each trail.
Thanks!

I would like to see a trip down Rusty Nail, Pritchet Canyon, The Spike.

More than likely I will not be attending the group dinner but I can't say for sure.

Thanks, See you there!!

GJarrett · 04-11-2005, 07:34 PM

Clint, that's a good idea. Rusty Nail would be a great trail for the true BigDawgs to run and then end up out on Golden Spike; if we got real lucky timing-wise, the Rusty Nail group might end up meeting the Golden Spike group at the Golden Crack.

This will be my first time out there, so I don't really know what I want to do or what to expect other than having a good time in my explorer, before I get rid of her at the end of the summer. Don't worry i'm planning on getting another explorer, i'm really liking the sport trac's right now, so I'm planning on getting one by the end of summer.

techieman33 Elite Explorer Topeka, KS 00 V8 Mountaineer Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 8,218 Vehicle Specs	Attending: 1 Arrival: thursday night Depart: monday morning Lodging: Canyonlands Trail wishlist: whatever my stocker can handle Branding Iron reservation: 1 This will be my first time out there, so I don't really know what I want to do or what to expect other than having a good time in my explorer, before I get rid of her at the end of the summer. Don't worry i'm planning on getting another explorer, i'm really liking the sport trac's right now, so I'm planning on getting one by the end of summer.
