    So...I'm working on planning a massive, awesome vacation since I haven't had a "real vacation" since 2003. Those weekend flings in Seattle or MT are fun, yet unfulfilling. So I think Moab is in order. Though if I'm driving that far south, I'm not just going on some petty excursion...I'm making a true journey of my trip; pre-Moab I'm totally going to Vegas. I have one friend who is waiting on clearance for days off work and flying to Vegas from MT that weekend of the 13th-16th...anyone else care to join us for a weekend of drinking and gambling and other such shenanigans?

    Also another important thing: hotel rates suck. Anyone else flying solo and want to share a room in Moab? I'm totally cool with bringing my air mattress and sleeping on the floor; I'm 26 and pretty resilient, I can sleep just about anywhere...I'd sleep in the back of the VX if it had a shower.

    One more thing: I've never been offroad before. Is there anyone else I can follow who plans on taking all the easy trails? Like something akin to the bunny hill with skiing? My VX is bone stock too, lol...should I get new tires before I head south?

    I'm really hoping I can make this happen...my last final is BioOrganic Chemistry at 3:00P on Friday the 13th, and I plan to either take off from campus and begin my trek to Las Vegas directly after (probably showing up in Vegas sometime around 3 or 4 in the AM), or going home, going to sleep, and waking up at around 3 or 4 in the AM Saturday then heading out of town. Not sure yet. Either way, I'll be in Moab the 16th or 17th...

    Lol...good work VT; I ought to get plenty of responses now, lol. Can't help my lengthy posts sometimes -- I'm a writer. I like to write stuff, anything; sometimes too much stuff. Though I'll try to mind my gigantic paragraphs of complete BS from now on...

    Thanks everyone for the comforting words, I was already feeling mild anxiety about going offroad, though I feel somewhat better now, lol. If others can do it in a stock VX, I can do it in a stock VX

    ...I will definitely be there for the mass VX run on the 17th. I'll probably leave Vegas the evening of the 16th, and Moab isn't a far drive.

    Lol at your representations of yourself and other forum people Dub; I especially like that little dancing banana. I can't wait until I can legitimately use that thing in a post one day...that will be a satisfactory day.

    Meow, you won't need to worry about finding the right line. Just find someone that is similarly equiped and follow them. Some hood examples are Sue (VX Kat), Mark (MSHardeman), or Scott (Moncha...aka the boss man). They all have fun on the trail but tend to be a little saner in choosing their lines. Also at any point if you don't feel comfortably just give a holler amd there are many of uw that will be more than happy to spot you through a difficult spot. You will be amazed at what even a bone stock VX is capable of!

    I'm sorry to ask such a silly question....but could someone please tell me what this "Moab" thing is? I just bought a VX 3 days ago and seriously look forward to meeting other enthusiasts and learning more about the "obsession".

    It's Moab, Utah, a beautiful area of natural rock formations, sand, water crossings and other beautiful scenery which is a mecca for off-roading enthusiasts. Arches National Park and Canyonland State Park are right next to it. A lot of the rock is often a smoother surface rock, thus it's called "slickrock", and it's kind of a cinnamon orange color. Check out my gallery or Moncha's there's about a 500 pics from the past Moab trips. Many Isuzu enthusiasts go in May, I think this year it's about year 11, 12 or 13.

    It is the greatest thing on earth!
    Okay, so actually it is a gathering of Isuzu enthusiests that enjoy good company and fun offroad trips in Moab, Utah.
    Here are a few threads to paruse that might give you an idea...

    The best I can do, is reiterate a long ago thread that I started...it's all about what Moab means to me, and to many of the others whom I have become as close to as any bio brothers &/or sisters I was born to...

    You can't possibly imagine...till you've experienced that which we call "ZuZoo"...

    Read on...

    Here we go AGAIN

    Alright Billy! Don't be so forceful! I've booked a room at the RedRock for Monday through Thursday. Can't wait to see some of the old gang and meet some of the new guys.

    Someone will have to fill me in on how you "signup" for trails, now that there isn't a signup sheet.

    I think it was ZuZoo VII, back in 2004. The old VX has a little less paint on it (kind of like the hair on my head), but it's still willing!

    Boy, I can't wait!
