My bad, I'm a smart arse today, too much coffee and not enough sleep.

[HeckaTrebeka]

That date seems very possible, for me... I might make an appearance with my posse. We were planning on going to Mohave in 2013, but I'm going to try championing a Moab trip, instead. We would be driving down from the Seattle, WA area.

... I don't know. Do we want to deal with Razor mania again? Anyone know if that's an annual meet for them or a one time trip?

[JoFotoz]

Dont know...

Better than a million Jeeps!

One of MY friends?? Side by side person??

One of MY friends?? Side by side person??

It was a guy that came by the stoop who had a side by side (Razr) and he was with the big group that was in town. For the life of me I dont remember his name because I had a bit to drink that day and its hard enough trying to remember my own name at times.

You had almost talked him into letting you drive it.


Anyways I remember him stating they where possibly going to move their day (but I wouldnt hold my breath).

[BigSwede]

Traditionally it is the third weekend in May, and the week PREceding.

[Scott Harness]

Tom had us change the dates because of Mothers Day,but I don't think he plans on coming anymore...so we could go back to the original dates.

[JoFotoz]

Mothers Day is Sunday 12th May....

12th-18th would be the third w/end in May and the week PREceding.

So

Tom tried to get the date changed...then the calendar accommodated him without moving ZuZoo...then he stopped coming anyway.

In any case, since I have been going (my first ZuZoo was 2001) it has always been the third weekend in May (the official ZuZoo event went Wednesday-Saturday), but has morphed a bit to include pretty much the whole week prior for those that can swing it. Most folks figure if they are going to drive that far, why not get some more time in Moab out of it.

I don't say this to say it has to be then, but that is what it has always been.

And I know some people (Gismo42 Dave is one) have already locked in their vacation for that week because their stupid job has the scheduling flexibility of Haley's comet.
