I can go either weekend... I'd prefer the earlier, as my vote indicated, but I just need to know before I make reservations for the EJS or this.. I'll be out of class by the time May rolls around.

Thread seems to be a little on the dead side, though..

Trying to buy 4wd in Florida.

Looks like I need to order an explorer.

Assuming I can sell my house I would like to be there. More time is better than less for me so last weekend is preffered.

Either way I would love to get suggestions for trails recommended for a 4wd xlt from people with experience.

I recommend checking out this book if you've never been to Moab:

Are you planning on bringing your '14 Explorer? If so that would be a first, and you would be breaking new ground with this group. The 4wd system and the ground clearance in the '14 will really put a limit to what you'll be able to do out there.

I want to join this meet very badly myself. Last meet was great!

Unfortunately, work has ground to a halt already, so my hopes of returning in 2014 are slim.

yes I would bring the 14 ex

We plan on living in a MH and the ex seems like a good compromise for comfort on road which will be 98 percent of the time while letting us also get off road on easier trails.

Not perfect but a heck of a lot better than the minivan we used the last few trips out west

I understand that the 2014 does not have real 4wd and is actually a awd with some electronics

But if the easier trails at

There should be trails people with 2014 (even just fwd) can do even if they can not be on the same trails.

I can make it either weekend. I'll leave the voting to those who have to travel.

 

[NHarris]

Definitely going on either weekend. I checked on room availability for the EJS and there's none at the places I stay...

Mike you are are lucky only about an hour from Moab. I hope to have another Ex soon. I need to attend this event. even if it is a slightly modified Ex.

Well its a little more complicated than that. I now live 2 whole hours away from Moab and my Toyota is stored an hour in the opposite direction. Its still a lot easier for me to get there than most though!

See everyone in May!

 

[bronchole]

Are we sure the dates are Sunday May 18 - Tuesday May 20?

 

[Rick]

No, that was a mistake. I just changed it to the 16-18.

Thanks for catching that.
