Hate to say it, but I'm definitely out. I have eye surgery scheduled for the 16th to lower the pressure in my right eye. Just learned that the eye drops haven't been working as they should at my appointment this week

Unfortunately Moab just wasn't in the cards for us this year.

Hopefully by next year I'll have some new front struts on the Pumpkin and will be testing them out on the slick rock

 

[FR-425]

Bummer. Take care of the eyeball. See ya soon, no pun intended

 

[Rick]

Since the group has become so small I need to contact the Branding Iron and let them know.

Before I do that, do you guys that are still attending still plan on doing dinner at the Branding Iron on Saturday night?

Greg, maybe I could get some swag to you to hand out at the run?

 

[FR-425]

I'm in for dinner Sat.

 

[67truckguy]

I'll be there too.

[Rick]

Ok thanks, I will let them know that there will be a small group attending

..Snow pictures please....

 

[Rick]

Mid May snow. That hasn't happened for awhile. Should make for some great photo ops though

 

[FR-425]

Alright then, now all we need is one of those mid-May freak snow storms!

 

[Paul]

Well, we are at 8,000' so its not unheard of here... Woke up to two inches of snow on us - - was here last year at this time of year and it was 65 degrees!

On the other hand, wiring up those seat heaters has really paid off. . .

Moab Weather

Just a quick weather report from site 73 at Canyonlands Camprground. You get it all this year! Sun, wind, rain and maybe a few flakes. It looks like warmer temps by mid-week and things seem to dry out pretty quick here. Looking forward to doing some wheeling! Later Al

That sure looks wet and heavy..Hopefully your waterproofing I'd holding up..

 

[67truckguy]

P.S. There is now cold beer in the fridge!

Not that heavy - - just pushed hard against us by the 25-35 m.p.h. winds that have been blowing for the last 24 hours (note how the trees are "coated" with snow from the picture). . . Still snowing (flurries), and gusty; supposed to clear tomorrow, with temps "skyrocketing" to 50 degrees . . .
