MOAB II

[GJarrett]

Rick:

I just realized we are all talking simultaneously about Saturday and Sunday. I talked about waiting till 7pm because we stockers/less modifieds cannot make it back on SATURDAY's run and you are talking about confirming a SUNDAY resv for dinner. Did we miscommunicate? My fault if we did; sorry 'bout that. There's just too much info flying around multiple threads with hundreds of posts to keep up with.

Let's be clear for everyone. I'm sometimes pretty intellingent Dead Link Removed but this time I'm confused. What are the dinner plans (times)for Saturday, and then for Sunday?

Tom:
"If I were a I rich man,..."

" And you were my lady...."

Hey, Tom, what's the next line; can't remember... ended in "having my baby" or something.

Geez we're getting old. Or at least me, anyway.

Rick, are you refering to me about the Thursday run? If you are, go ahead and plan a run with Gerald or anyone else that day. If we (& thats a BIG if, you know Darien)leave on time Wed. nite at midnite, we should arrive on Thursday around 2 p.m. We will probably be pretty tired from driving & may want to relax for a bit. On the other hand if Tom,Jay, or Bill are there already who knows what can happen. We will be ready for sure on Friday morning.

 

[Peter Weber]

Thought it was just me getting confused between days, dinners, etc.
How about we do this:
Day:
Wednesday
People arriving (including approximate time):
Staying where (camping, motel):
Dinner (who wants to get together for dinner):

Thursday
People arriving (including approximate time):
Staying where (camping, motel):
Trails (which trails are planned by who):
Dinner (who wants to get together for dinner):

Friday
People arriving (including approximate time):
Staying where (camping, motel):
Trails (which trails are planned by who):
Dinner (already planned, time and place);

Saturday
Trails (which trails are planned by who):
Dinner (already planned, time and place):

Sunday
People leaving(morning or after runs):
Trails (which trails are planned by who):
Dinner (who wants to get together for dinner):

Monday
Trails (who's hanging around and doing which trails):
Dinner?

Tusday
Trails (who's hanging around and doing which trails):
Dinner?

Would be great if we could set up a list like that in one place and all access it and update with their personal info.
If the board doesn't allow it, how about everybody copy it into a reply and add your own info. One at a time, let's say Rick first. He fills in his info and then specifies who goes next. That person copies Ricks post and adds his info and so on and on. That way we're building a data base with everybodies info added one by one. I know that means a lot of activity on the board, but it's only a one time thing for a short while.

You are my lady - Kenny Rodgers

Guys I just re-edited my post from earlier this morning so you may want to re-read it.

Matt I think your idea to meet at City Market works great. Are you still interested in doing Porcupine Rim in the morning?

Rick, I had not remembering studying Kane Creek until you just mentioned it. It looks like a very interesting run if I was not already going to Gold Bar Rim Friday afternoon. I may consider it instead of Top of the World for Thursday if I get in early enough. Maybe I need to stay over Monday.... gee whiz I want to go everywhere now that I am making the time to go all the way out there. What's another day, hmmm? Dead Link Removed

I'm glad you decided on 7pm Saturday for the dinner. This would be perfect. Earlier (I think?) is to early. Much later and we'll be pretty late getting to the campfire and I might fall asleep out there that late Dead Link Removed.

[next day edit]Oops got my dinner nights mixed up. Sorry about that Rick.

PS/ I bet I end up showing up a day early
AND getting back a day late the way I feel right now.

"now that I am making the time to go all the way out there. What's another day, hmmm?"

Exactly my thoughts! I want to see as mcuh as I can when I'm out there. I'm leaving Phoenix Tuesday and I'm not returning until the following Wednesday! I keep making it longer and longer. I figure while I'm alone I'll just play tourist on some of the easier trails...that is unless I hook up with the Isuzu guys who will be pre-running their trails early in the week.

 

[Trace]

OK, Here's my itinerary

Thursday:
Departure, Denver Metro Area: 10:00am
Arriveal, Moab via I-70 & UT 128: 5:00pm
Accomadations: Inca Inn
Dinner: ? Willing to meet anywhere.

Friday:
Trails:Will probably go with Ray and
Gerald to prerun Gemini Bridges
area. However, Kane springs sounds
intreging.
Dinner:With group

Sat& Sun:
Trails:Sticking with the 3 - 3+ group.
With that many stock trucks, there
is sure to be some laughs (sorry
guys). I mean the relaxed pace
be fun.
Dinner: Sat with group
Departure:Sunday after Elephant Hill,
about 5 PM?? May decide to
enjoy dinner.

 

[Char]

Hey guys,
Don't believe Rick. By the time the weekends over he'll probably be leaving on Monday and not returning until Thursday! Dead Link Removed
Sure, I can only go for a few days. Dead Link Removed Oh well, I'll have some time alone at home to take care of my Graduate work.
My plane comes in around 8:30pm on Thursday and then I have to drive from Grand Junction to Moab. So I'll probably see everyone Friday morning. Can't wait! I love Moab!!!

I'm just going to post what I sent in the e-mail. Nothing has changed since I first sent it out except the time for Saturday and Sunday nights dinners have now been confirmed.

I will be arriving in Moab late Tuesday. If anyone wants to run some of the more difficult trails on Wednesday - Friday or even the following week let me know. I'm staying at the Silver Sage Inn 840 South Main (US 191) Tel: (435) 259-4420 my cell is 602-402-6717 I will set it to roam and hope it works! While in the truck I will be listening to Ch-1 or 146.52 for the hams.

Friday night: I've made reservations at the Fat City Smokehouse, 36South 100West. Our reservations are for 6:30pm. Payment for dinner will be up to each party. The establishment adds a 20% gratuity to each individual check when dealing with large groups.

---------------------------------

Saturday Morning at 8:30: Meet at the City Market Grocery Store on Main Street, 425 South Main, 801-259-5181 "Breakfast fresh from our Bakery, We'll pack your Lunch, Fried Chicken Dinners, Sandwiches made to order, Salad bar, and Deli. Fast friendly service. Open 24 hours every day". We will try to find an area in their lot where we won't be disruptive to their regular customers. Be gassed up and have your food and water for the trail BEFORE 8:30.

Saturday 4 Group: Poison Spider Mesa and a little bit of Golden Spike Trail

Saturday 3 Group: Gemini Bridges & other side trails

On Saturday and Sunday I recommend that we leave for the trails in small groups, 15 -20 minutes apart, instead of heading out as one large pack. We can gather as a group, or continue in staggered formation once we hit the trail. This will be determined at the staging area. For ease of radio identification all vehicles will be numbered with white shoe polish on the back and front windows (small numbers-easily removable).

Saturday night: Dinner on Ford. Door prizes: Ramada Inn 182 South Main Street Telephone: (435) 259-7141 Time: Appetizers starting at 6:00PM and dinner will be at 6:30/7:00PM

Campfire at Lions Back.
