Oh brother...

Char was able to take an extra day off. We were planning on arriving this evening. Except... I got the stomach flu Started last night and it's just now starting to feel better.

All I've eaten since yesterday's lunch are a few plain crackers I just got brave and I'm cooking up a can of chicken noodle... I'm hoping for the best

So, it looks like we're going to arrive tomorrow night as we had originally planned

Some good did come from the delay though. Char got a call from a school she applied to for a job. They already had offered her the job, today they wanted her to come in to discuss her pay.

See ya soon!

That sucks, at least you will still be able to make it. Speaking from first hand experience it really sucks to have the stomach flu in Moab. I got it on the Moab 01 or 02 run on a Saturday. I was able to drive/ride TOTW on Sunday but still not feeling the best.

 

[MoabB2]

Last October when I was there, I had stomach flu for about a week. The worst of it coming my second night in Moab, I was up all night. I wanted to just sleep till about noon, but instead ran Steel Bender. Not much fun going on no sleep and having not eaten anything in days!

Hope you get feeling better Rick, see ya there.

 

[Dignan]

Well maybe its for the best that you are leaving a day late. If its good for Char's new job, that will be good. At least that's a good way to convince yourself to wait. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself. I'm really bummed that I can't go, but at least I'm meeting with a potential client to remodel a cabin at Alta ski resort. Its actually still snowed in. You'll all be down there in the desert at 90* and I'll be taking a snow cat to work.

 

[Rick]

Well, it wasn't a 24 hour bug. I'm still really sick No way can I drive 7-8 hours like this.

I really hate to say it, but I won't be joining you guys

Have a ton of fun, and be safe... Our best wishs are with all of you.

Can't wait to see the photos... Actually, maybe I can. I think it will be terribly depressing to see what we missed

Oh well, such is life. At least it's just the flu.

 

[Dignan]

I'm pretty bummed out that I can't go too. Maybe we should put together another run in a month or two. I'll go crazy if I have to wait another year for this, especially since I missed last year.

For those who couldn't make it this time and those who made it, but want to go again, who would be interested in going to Moab in a month or two?

 

[JTX]

Were planning a Colorado run early fall, so that could work out. Moab is way to hot over the summer to really enjoy.

 

[Rick]

In a month Moab will be 100+ every day

 

[Dignan]

In a month Moab will be 100+ every day

It wont be any hotter than home for you right?

 

[MoabB2]

Sorry to hear that you can't make it Rick and hope you get feeling better.

Had a great day today, searched around out by area BFE, didn't find much, and then headed out to Hells Revenge. Msupertek had the first carnage of the day when he broke his rear drive shaft. It was still an awesome day.
