I just got a new job in SLC so I am not moving after all and therefore won't be in the convoy. I expect to get to Moab though!!! In 4 weeks and in May!

Bim - still thinking about lunch at your casa?
Anybody else thinking of joining? (Leg 01VX, any surprise appearances?)

Let's plan on food in Grand Junction either way....either we'll hit up a local restaurant like last year, or I'll throw a BBQ....I haven't been keeping completely up to date here, but I'm up for it....and I'd like to see the looks on the neighbors faces when a bunch of VX's pull in.Originally Posted by biju
More later....

Bim,
We could make sure to do a little engine reving and horn honking to get the neighbor's attention. Heck, we'll just have Biju crank his system up and see how many window's we can blow out. Maybe stop a few hearts?
Not to pressure, but a BBQ could be uber-cool. I'll bring slabs of meet and beer!!

For what it's worth, last year we ate right near I-70 and Horizon Drive in GJ. A BBQ would take us 15-20 minutes off the interstate to the grub....then take the scenic road along the National Monument (340) and return to I-70 at the Fruita exit. I am guessing that a BBQ would add about 1-2 hours in GJ.....just starting to formulate plans...
BBQ location (casa) would be near the south entrance to the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction in this general area:

Anyone have thoughts on BBQ vs restaurant?

Well, it sounds like there WILL be a VX only run, and we'll need some sustenance so no one passes out. That means:
THE BBQ IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's do this!!!!!!!!!

Sweet man.... Thanks so much for hosting/agreeing to do this!!! A VX pre-moab ZuZoo BBQ! Freaking awesome.
So although nothing official has been mentioned about Zu yet (not from what I know of anyways...) I'm suspecting the convoy/GJ BBQ will be on Monday the 14th. That give us time to gather at the hot springs > travel to GJ > BBQ > travel to Moab > settle in for the night in prep for Tuesdays VX run on Tuesday the 15th. And if the suspicion is correct - ZuZoo will begin on Wednesday the 16th.
Let us know what you'll need us to bring - or better yet, how to donate to the BBQ grub fund.
Folks. Spit shine your pony! Good times ahead!!!...
