    Lightbulb The only way I could go to Moab this year... question to all driving through TX

    So Tom mentioned in another thread a possible way that I could actually meet up with you all in Moab this year and it just might work, but I need someone or some people to help make it happen.

    -I will be flying in to Provo, Utah on the 9th for a track meet and I can simply change my return flight for the 14th or 15th.

    -So no problem getting me there, but getting the Little(Big)Beast there is another story. I have thought of two options:

    #1 - A VXer driving through Houston (with a partner) could pick up my VX in Houston, and then I could pay them gas plus their troubles.

    OR

    #2 - A VXer driving through Houston WITH A TRAILER HITCH could tow my VX on a trailer to Moab. I would cover trailer (of course) and split the gas bill with whoever wants to do it.

    What do you guys think? Oh and in case some of you don't know, the reason I cannot simply get back in Houston on sunday and drive my VX up there myself, is I have the Olympic Trials coming up on June 29th and 30th and I cannot, absolutely cannot sit in a car and drive that far with the one event I have been training for for the last 4 years coming up this closely, I hope you all understand and maybe we all can figure out a way for me to join you all, but if not be safe and hope to see you all in Moab on a non-Olympic year.

    I personally would rather split one gas bill than pay for one whole one, but whatever it takes let me know if either of these ideas are options. Thanks again. :bwgr:

    Wow Ryan, wish I would have known before booking my flight to Phoenix, I would have driven it there for you and found someone to drive it back! What an opportunity for someone! That truck is awesome!

    Sweet, so I have a ride to Moab from Provo, check that one off the list, I appreciate it! Anyone want to haul or drive the VX?

    Ryan- If all other avenues fail gimme a hollar. I might be able to drive the Beast on a 2 day run up there for you but I can't stay much past the weekend. I'd somehow need to get back to Salt Lake and fly back to Houston within a couple days

    Ya was talking to phxsunfan. We were talking I would drive your vx up there and he would drive mine. But I guess possibly the breaker would be wether we have to drive back as we will be swapping drive duties on way back. Also pose question to Tom. Are we going to be driving through Colorado on way to 4 coners? So we could do it and I know these stipulations are narrow. But would need a way to get it to dallas fort worth area due to I have prior plans friday night. Also couldnt go through Colorado tom (dont ask). Lastly would need drive back down from moab home we would not be able to do it as we dont know plans from there.



    Wish I could be more of service but this is all I have for now.



    Oh and once most worked out I will pm you will cell and we can work out details. PM if you have and idea lemt me know.


    Oh and if it does work out I dont care about my troubles a helping a fellow vxer is payment enough But I would have to ask for gas because gas prices aren't what they were in the 90's.... Man that is sad I know you older folk... Not by much are thinking wow I remeber when bread was 5 cents. lol Sorry couldnt help it.
