Moab 2006 Chat Thread

Grand Junction is only 113 miles from Moab..... that's about 1,900 miles closer than from where you live. Sounds close enough when you think about it in those terms That's what Ashli was going to do for this run; fly into Grand Junction, rent a car, and meet me in Moab. She had a scheduling conflict though and won't be able to join us.

I have a seat for the stocker/Modified run on Sat., ( I had a good buddy that was dying to go, but He leaves on the 9th or so for Iraq )

I have a Sport Trac and I'll only have 1 passenger. Not as exciting as the Big-Dog stuff probably, but I will be ecstatic just to be in Moab for my first time. Let me know if you need a lift for Sat.

I can't make any promises yet, but if I can swing this I'd definitely love to go. Wonder if I could rent an Explorer...hahaha

I live in Junction and have an open seat! I was planning to leave sometime Thursday and return Monday morning. You're more than welcome to ride along if your interested.

 

[Rick]

Excellent!! That sure would help her out

I know you can rent a jeep in Moab . It's pretty pricey though. I was considering renting one just for fun at the Jeep Safari even though they allow any vehicle. But they were around $170 per day with a three day minimum .

Well here is some good news;

Any suggestions on where to stay if you can't bring your tent on the plane with you? Dunno about you guys, but us mid-atlantians stay up almost all night around the campfire

Lots of hotels in Moab, or the Canyonlands has some nice cabins with bunk beds, electricity, and AC....

Ooh, luv me sum cabins! That'll work, thanks. Guess it'd be smart to call and reserve, huh

 

[RockRanger]

When I was looking at the cabins they were about $10-$15 cheaper a night then some of the hotels. However you had to provide your own linins and the bathrooms were down yonder away from them.

always keep in mind - the gas in Utah is lower octane than CA - so you'll be spending $.10 more a gallon. Their regular is 85 instead of 87 or 88.
