    Question Just for clarification...

    There seems to be some confusion as to what is going on here. We want to bring Merlin to Moab. Merlin loves the idea of joining us in Moab. He has a family and would like them to join him if possible. He is on a parts guy budget, so like us, his funds are limited. Whether he can join us or not depends on what we can raise. This is a vacation and he needs to know what he will have to spend and work into the budget. But we need to let him know what we have raised, so he can make his plans accordingly. Basically, give what you are comfortable with. We will collect the contributions once we are all in Moab and present him with the cash.

    How is he supposed to know if he is going, if he hasn't been told the plan yet?

    I hope this helps.

    While I've never been to Moab, and it's a long way from home, the pictures look spectacular. I think what you are doing for Merlin sounds great and you should all be commende for bring the VX experience to life for this guy and his family. He must surely love this circle of VX enthusiasts and their PUV's.

    Thumbs up

    UPDATE...

    I talked to Merlin earlier today, and told him that we have pledges allowing for a donation of $1000. Looks like he & his wife (but not his daughters) will be joining us in Moab and staying at the Red Rock Lodge! I tried booking thier room, but nobody answered at the Red Rock. Plans are still being made, so no other details have been worked out. However, they will be joining us for the VX run on Tueday at least.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    That is great news. Can't wait to meet Mr. and Mrs. Merlin.
    Keep on calling the Red Rock because it took me a couple of weeks to finally get through to them to book my room. I don't know if they go for long walks in the desert or what, but they do seem to be absent a lot. Maybe Darrin (crager34) could roll by while he's out in town to book the room?
