    Our Moab Mobile Command Center!

    So this will be my home away from home while in Moab

    Today was the first time I got to see it...it's pretty amazing. Room for 3 motorcycles in the "garage", which, when you take the motorcycles out then becomes a bedroom! Or the patio with couches! The center section on the far side slides out to make the kitchen/dining/living room (with TV/DVD/surround sound and satellite if we decide to take it). Never been in one before...it's a bit silly, but going to be so much fun! I love the checkered flag awning!

    My VX won't quite fit in the garage though, so I still have to drive it out.

    We got my VX's front and rear sway bar bushings changed today, and my clunking noise is gone! But now I have a rotational rubbing noise...I think in the one of the right side brakes. But I'm going to have an alignment done anyway this week sometime, so I will have them take a peek.

    The Energy Suspension bushings were a breeze to install! It took longer to get the front skid plate off by far than to remove and install the bushings.

    Looking forward to meeting/seeing everyone!

    I'm hoping to land at The Stoop around the same time Jo, but it might be a little later in the afternoon. Depends on how much I can get done on the 'ol girl this weekend and next week.

    See y'all there.

    Thumbs up Here's the deal...

    Cece and I are planning to do dinner Saturday May 11th at The Sunset Grill, and would love for all the earlybirds to join us. I hope that everyone has a safe and fun time this year. Looking forward to being back in Moab even without the VX!

    You guys will probably be leaving way earlier then me, though I'm going to try and make it out of town a bit earlier then normal this year. Maybe I'll catch up to you at some point. I want to try and get there early enough to get camp set up before dinner time since there will actually be others in town to hang out with for a change.

    Conspiracy sites claim a high probability of a Butters sighting Saturday night (5/11) at dinner. According to the Illuminati, the sighting hinges on if the convoy some call "ToCaliWeTravelAfterAStopInDenver" stays in touch that day. Or Ldub calls to keep me in the loop. Yeah, that'll work.
    So, are tin foil hats required or optional?

    Question to the gang: does anyone bring dogs with them? Have they in the past? I keep going back and forth on this with my awesome dog. He's 12, but still very lively and would love a Big Adventure. But I guess I am worried about shaking him up too much (are the trails we're going to do smooth but rugged/challenging, or all bumpy like here in the Colorado Rockies?), and of course about leaving him in the RV if I am out for a meal or something. He loves being in the truck, and although he'd be spoiled rotten at Chez Parent's, I want him with me Thoughts? Tips? Prior experience?

    I am in the same boat as you. Just picked up a new puppy this past Saturday morning, but I will probably leave him at a kennel here at home. Some of the trails we will be doing will be smooth, but most of them have some amount of jarring obstacles on them. There are a few obstacles on a few trails where anything that isn't nailed/strapped down in the truck will end up in the foot wells because you are headed straight down. I don't think it's fair to the dog (and I'm speaking about mine here) to throw him around in the truck all day. In the worst case he could get hurt from some of the violent shifting the truck will do. There is a nice kennel in town that some have used while out on the trails. They will have to chime in on that though.

    The big thing is that some of the trails are on government land and no animals are allowed on them so you would HAVE to kennel your pup or leave him behind.

    All in all, for me, it's just too much to bring the pup and all of his stuff, plus my stuff, plus the girlfriends stuff, plus the bikes, plus all of the tools for the VX, then find a place for the pup if I can't bring him on the trails or want to go mountain biking for a while.

    Just my two cents.
