Moab 'ZuZu XV - May 2012!

[VX KAT]

Driving - got to show off the 5-speed! The plan is to head out there with you guys, then drive to Wisconsin and spend 2 weeks with her family before heading home. Fortunately the girls ride really well, but we're still trying to break up the trip as much as possible. Probably drive to Colorado then take a day off to bum around a bit before heading on to Moab.

Any restrictions with bringing a dog that I should know about?

Yeah, there is...can't bring a dog to a National Park. Canyonland National Park has a few of the trails that some VXers go on, so no doggie there. You may have seen one pic of Zeus (Justin) with Menace, that was in Canyonland, and he didn't get busted there, but did tell me he got "ticketed or fined" another time with the dog.

I found a doggie day care/boarding place just 2-3 miles South of town. Paul Phines and I were going to keep our 3 dogs (my 2) together for the day we went there. As it turned out I was too pooped for that trip, and just Paul kenneled his dog there (I think overnight). Can't recall the name of the place right now, but if Sonya is staying with the girls, she should keep the dog. The lady that ran the doggie place was a bit, shall we say "eccentric"...she must have called me on my cell phone 5-6 times to find out if we were coming to drop the dogs off, blah blah blah.. I told her I'd pay for the night even if we didn't make it, and she was spun up about that as it would take a space (well 2 spaces) away from some one else that needs to kennel their dog/s.....it was weird. I'd look for a different kennel if you need one.

Pets are not allowed in the backcountry of Canyonlands National Park. This includes all four-wheel-drive roads and hiking trails. Pets may accompany visitors in frontcountry areas, which include overlooks, paved and two-wheel-drive dirt roads, and the Squaw Flat and Willow Flat campgrounds, but must be leashed when outside a vehicle. Pets may not be left unattended, tied or physically confined in the frontcountry to facilitate backcountry travel.

Yup, that's the one. Yes, she does really care. Guess I was just frustrated since she kept calling when I was on the trail and talking and talking and asking for an ETA....and I had no idea how much further/how long etc...plus ya can't drive with one hand and speakerphone was useless.

WOOT!! Got my room at The Stoop reserved.

Got a double queen room so hoping to find a room mate to help defray costs. Anyone interested in rooming for the week (or should I just call back and get the king room)? Checking in on Sunday the 13th and checking out on Saturday the 19th.

I have references from former Moab roomies (you know who you are).

I KNOW! What's up with that!? Trying to avoid the chicks this time around (they're crazy)

Totally kidding....all are welcome.

You mean like ONE king bed? Nothing like a little spoonin' to keep you warm on those cold Moab nights.

HEY, I never said what the references would say. Don't give the secret away Billy.

[pbkid]

just curious mark, how many rooms did they have left???

I concur Mark; we're all a bunch of crazies that you always seem to get stuck with. Though at least I'm a pleasant drunk, right?

I know how you feel; I also REALLY need to cut costs wherever possible to be able to make it this year, but the boyfriend might not like me rooming with another dude...haven't played that card yet to see how it goes over. Life was easier when I was single, lol. I still have high hopes that I can make it though; Moab would be an epic end to my very first semester of nursing school...
