2009 Moab ZooZu XII

[Ldub]

Dang, looks like I'm about 6 months too late to start thinking about Moab...


Ashley it is about 21 hours for me, but I have been there 7 times, it is THAT much fun. And I don't even have a VX. :bwgr: (Technically it is an all Isuzu event, but I think VXs were at least 80% of the crowd in 08. Not that there's anything wrong with that! )

There likely will be some opportunities to convoy. There are a couple of VXs in Chicago that you could hook up with in, say, Iowa City, or Lincoln, or at least Denver if you didn't want to miss out on that beautiful Kansas countryside (Nebraska is SO much more interesting ). And I am usually coming down to Des Moine from Minneapolis myself. I have convoyed from there westward with some of the Chicago crowd in the past.

This, of course, assumes I still have a job and can afford the trip but that pretty much goes without saying for anybody.

T'would be nice if gas prices stay this low for May 09...compared to near $4/gallon this year.

Your Trooper is a square VX with more headroom...
I think your Troop, & Jims, are both considered "honorary VX's" anyway.
Swede is right on the $...It's a long haul, but MORE than worth it. Kenny comes all the way from Winnepeg...Manitoba...Canada, & it's a proven fact, that only grave illness will keep him from going...

Here are a few threads that will "put the hook in ya"...

Heh, yeah...not enough headroom for me in a VX unless I position the driver's seat like a recliner. Makes it hard to reach the steering wheel!

Sheesh, were there any other Troopers in Moab in 08 other than me and Jim? Jim Paget didn't make it...Fernando showed but sans Trooper...Eiji wasn't there...

Fernando has a Trooper?, I've only ever seen his Amigo in Moab.
And that "funny lookin' Trooper" that (insert name I can't remember here) was driving was there...(the rental car he showed up in at the Red Rock "stoop")

Oops, I meant Gilbert, not Fernando...

I'm going to tent again at Portal, anybody want to split a tent site? Can't beat $10.50/ea. a night. And there is plenty of room for another tent, you don't have to share mine though Cinder wouldn't mind .
