Moab XIV 17May-21May 2011

[MeowMix]

Again, I may not get to go to Vegas afterall; no drinking, gambling, and strippers...sad day Though there will still be Moab!!!

Ummmm all that takes place in Moab, no need to go to Vegas for it!

Fantastic! No sacrifices afterall, lol!

Set yer mind to ease MM, it amounts to this:



You're dealing with a bunch of nut job fanatics who have experienced/solved most of the few shortcomings of this weird little truck...not worry...

I'm an OCD perfectionist; it's simply not in my nature to chill out. Though the photo makes me feel much better...you'd never even know the cladding was trimmed unless you did indeed know better, lol. Thanks for the reassurance.

So its getting close...any of you "maybe's" ready to upgrade? As Nike says...just do it!

I just realized I'm still in this category -- I should upgrade!

OMG OMG OMG I am gonna VOMIT! I am so excited!!!!

Me too!! And I've never even been to Moab before, lol! This road trip kicks off my shortened "summer" vacation (I'm taking a summer microbiology class from June-Aug), and the best part: my spring finals will be done! So exciting!!!


...what's with the song about cake? Entertaining, but just plain odd.

[Kenny]

Can't make it this year.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake, if the way is hazy
You gotta do the cooking by the book, you know you can't be lazy
Never use a messy recipe, the cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book,then you'll have a..........

Kenny...your presence will be missed this year for sure, eh!

Kodiak...I am just scratching my head trying to figure that one out.

[VX KAT]

Sue, I've been having so much fun getting ready for Moab I forgot to take my medicine.

Ah, that explains everything! See you soon.

OK, I guess.......
Will be good to see you again!

I'm like "going to Disney world" excited right now. have a tent site at pack creek from sat through wed, and wll probably splurge on a hotel for the rest of the week... Man, Ive been spending like crazy this last week on all sorts of things i thought id use in moab (and the zombie apocalypse) but never got around to buying til now..

Hows the weather in UT in May?

Any folks leaving colorado Saturday or maybe Sunday and want a complete stranger in the convoy? I even bought a shiny new cb radio to talk to truckers...oh wait, that sounds weird.

This reminds me...are y'all using CBs this year? I think I might have one laying around in storage somewhere if I remember correctly...it's about as old as I am, but it'll do the trick.

...and that totally doesn't sound weird. I'll probably do the same thing.

Expect mid 80s (minimum) for daytime, mid 50s night...it's hot....bring lots of water every day...thus my new storage cubbies for two 1 liter water bottles.

CB is a must.

pbkid (Jack), NocturnalVX (Gill and CeCe) and BigSwede (Steve) and I think a few other VXers are forming a small convoy out of Denver I believe.

Anything from the 40s at night to the 90s by day is possible...if you are camping bring a warm sleeping bag, seriously.

A few of us will be having breakfast at the Dennys at I-70 and Kipling (in Wheat Ridge? west side of Denver) on Sunday morning, heading for Moab from there. Not sure who all will be there, Gill & CeCe in a VX, I'll be in my Trooper are all I know for sure. I thought Jack was heading over Saturday?
