....................

That's what I said!!!!

It REALLY sux when life interferes with fun.

I'm IN! I just made reservations at the Hampton Inn. Free stay 'cause I used my points. Gotta get my VX all pretty before I take it out there and rough it up though.
If I get myself back in shape I'll probably bring my mountain bike too. Any other riders bringing a bike?
Cheers,
Scott

Excellent Scott. Can't wait to meet you, but strange that we'll meet in Moab when we both live in the same state. I think that we're trying to get a little convoy heading over on the Sunday before Moab if you can/want to go.

I've brought my bike to Moab in the past, but usually end up not using it because I get so into wheeling trails and hanging out with the Zu folks. I think my girlfriend and I will be bringing our bikes this year but we haven't decided on road or mountain yet. I know, I know; Moab is the mountainbiking capital of the world, but the gf has just started to mountainbike and is not really comfortable on it yet. Still have some time to decide.

I really wanna get out there this year. I have the girlfriend convinced (she loved it when we drove through there in June) so it's just about work at this point. Do you guys know how much availability there is still at the Red Rock?

It will be nice to get out there for another Zu Zoo.... For those of you that don't know me I was heavily involved with the Zu Zoo that started back in 98... First 2 or 3 years were as they are now -- loosely organized, etc. Then the BLM got on our backs and made us incorporate and charge event fees for permitting, insurance, etc... We had to provide inspections at the event -- it went from fun to a whole bunch of work, so I'm glad to see it's back to fun. :-) Looking forward to meeting a bunch of you there.

My friend who's bringing his 5th wheel out will be mountain biking some of the time. Be warned, he's pretty hardcore, and he may have a couple of his mtn biking friends with him.

I will be leaving my mountain bike at home, but I might bring my motorcycle in the 5th wheel's "garage" (yep, it's a big one). Mostly just to cruise around town.

I will also be doing some photography, including night sky stuff. Any other photo buffs out there (besides Jo!)?

Edit: I'm not excluding Jo...I just already know he's an awesome photog

[Craig]

Hope you make it, Chris. It would be good to see another one of the old timers.

Cece & I will be arriving at The Stoop on Thursday, May 9th. We are going to spend a few days doing the touristy thing, and we will head to California on the 12th. I know some of y'all are planning to get into Moab early, and we look forward to seeing you. We are going to be spending a week in Maui to celebrate her graduation from college, so we are going to miss wheeling and all the fun around The Stoop. Have fun, be safe, and TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

I'd like to think of myself as a bit of a photo buff too. I brought my tri-pod last year and got some cool night shots of the Stoop and all the VX's parked up for the night. Took just over 500 pictures last year.

[nocturnalVX]

Maybe one of you pro photographers that took pics at The Stoop could print an 8x10 to give the kind folks at the Red Rock as a thank you for being so hospitable? Hmmm?

[don moore]

[Triathlete]

All the cool kids "tent it"

All the cool kids "tent it"

And the other 89.3% stay in structures that offer the essential amenities...

We can't ALL be cool...

Who would be left to admire YOU?...

[ABDragonVX]

I'd be interested in bringing my mtn bike, but I'm thinking abou Vegas the weekend prior and I'm not sure where I'd leave it...

Where to leave it in Vegas or when you're in Moab?
