    OK, now that that's out of the way...

    ahdoman, historically ZuZoo (as it used to be called) started on the Tuesday of the week that we are out in Moab, at least for us, with a "VX Only" run. We still, sort of, keep to that tradition with a newbie run on Tuesday that is meant to showcase to new off roaders just what our VX's are capable of. We usually try to pick a trail that a stock VX can get through so we don't scare anyone.

    In general, there are usually multiple runs on multiple trails going on simultaneously throughout the week. We usually meet up at The Stoop (the Apache Hotel this year) in the evenings to chit chat, meet and greet, and just generally hang out with the VX fam. During the multiple, mostly adult beverage fueled conversations groups will start to form for the next days trails. Some "trail leaders" will pick harder trails and others will pick easier trails. It all kind of ebbs and flows naturally and usually everyone gets to do a trail that they are comfortable with.

    Once you get to Moab and meet everyone and check out their rigs you'll get a good feel for who you want to run with and when.

    I really hope that you can make it out because even if you don't run a trail at all it's still great to meet everyone and hang out with a bunch of other VX nerds.

    Ahdo...most campers stay at pack creek campground. Wen-Sat are the main days but several come early and/or stay later.

    Many arrive over the first weekend...and stay a week

    Monday is usually a short run..then back to the "stoop"...
    .... greet the afternoon arrivals with a cocktail!

    Tuesday was always the "VX" only run... now more of a newbie run.

    Other days people tend to break up into "like minded/similar skill-crazy" groups..
    ...and go do random trails..usually 4-6 max per group for ease and speed.

    ~~~

    Many take a full day or much more of driving ....
    ....so people are always coming and going depending on their situation.

    Usually a core group there for about 7-8 days.

    I'll be leaving San Diego Friday...drive about 700 miles and stop overnight
    at a place I use every year...then a wee ride of about 100 miles into Moab on Saturday.

    Looking fwd to seeing "The Pearl"

    Just booked mine since I'm a habitual procrastinator. She said I got the very last room and she was going to move someone else to get us closer to the group. So if you haven't booked already, sounds like you will have to fight for Dumke's room if he isn't able to come.

    Really looking forward to seeing the family again!

    Well, poo. I have been lurking for months and not saying anything, but dreaming of Moab. Day late and a dollar short as per my usual M.O.

    I suppose it's for the best; my girl is getting older and she not only consumes oil but burns it now too when I really get on the throttle. Should probably go easy on her, even though I don't want to. Soon will be a rebuild...soon. Until then, boyfriend and I are working on selling some of our SIX cars.

    ...anybody want a WRX?

    But seriously, I wish I could go I graduated last year and all I ever do is work now. Before I had time and no money; now I have money and no time.

    I might still be able to work it out though. My nurse manager is awesome, I could probably get the time off if I were to ask. Lisa, where are you staying?

    A condo?! That's awful fancy. I spent too much on my vacation in Feb to rent a condo...there must be some kind of cheap lodging somewhere.

    A case of oil would work all right, but the trick would be getting my hood open if I have to brave the open road alone again. Something is wrong with the latch and I need two people to open it because one has to put pressure on the hood while the other pulls the lever. I need to have her fixed up a bit; my poor girl is falling apart.

    ...didn't help that a deer jumped right out of the ditch and into the fender of my X-90 a couple weeks ago, and now that oddball needs fixing first. There's just never enough time in a day...or a month for that matter.

    Kat, The last time I was in Moab it looked like the Red Rocks will be open again very soon. They ended up NOT tearing it down and have been giving it a face lift. I guess they just didn't want us to come back.

    As for your hood; you'll probably need to adjust the rubber bumpers that push your hood up. I think there are a couple of threads on the fix around here somewhere. They just "unscrew" from the upper radiator support to make them taller, which puts more pressure on your hood so that when you pull the hood release the hood will pop up (or should).

    Found one of the threads: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...t=hood+release

    Now, grab that case of oil and get on the road.
