Yup! As May gets closer, we make plans to meet up with anyone that is coming our way from the East. Heading out on the Saturday before Moab, we take I80 (rather than I70) because it saves time & gas. Drop down into Denver on Sunday, do our best to hook up with as many VXers along the way, and finish the trip into Moab on Monday with as big a convoy as possible. Great fun!Originally Posted by VXIRONwoMAN

Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

Hey Gil, if you are heading out Saturday we could probably hook up again if you want. Since I got my windshield fixed I can actually hear people on the CB now at highway speed...

Not that anybody needs extra motivation, but here is a nice pic from last year (sorry, no VX content :bwgr: )...

Anyone riding solo that would like a spotter, I have a 3rd wheel coming with me on the trip, and of course, riding in the backseat is not cool at all. He has mountain biked MOAB, he is from Salt Lake. He is in the navy with me. He is good people, but anyone who doesn't want to ride alone on the trails, let me know, he is willing to help out.

Make sure to bring anyone, and everyone, that you think might want to do a little four wheelin' as there will always be room in someone's VX. Each morning when we meet up the people who need a ride will easily find one. As of now I have an empty passenger seat open, and I think I'm good people.

Thanks guys. We have started our planning already. We are gonna leave here (Charleston) on the afternoon of the 8th, drive through to KC, MO which should be about 20 hours with the trailer. Drop off my little ones with gma and gpa, then head to salt lake area, another 18 hours or so. So we will drive into MOAB on the morning of the 11th. So we can convoy with as many others as we can.
I did hit up northern tool yesterday, scored a 5gallon jerry can with pump and mount on clearance for 40 bucks. I am stealing the spare tire converted into off road stuff idea. The full size spare will be on the roof. I also picked up a bunch of large zipties, duct tape, mighty putty (miracle stuff) , come along, 30ft tow/snatch rope, first aid kit, still gotta get a hi-lift jack. Found a guy at work that has one he is gonna sell me.
All this is my 30th birthday present, which is in July, so just a bit early
