For those of us who have never gone to Moab; what's the plan? Is each day it's own loop? Is the first run on Monday? I'm not sure I can be there the whole time so I'm trying to figure out the best days to be there. I will burn a full day driving to and another driving from. For those that are camping; where are you staying?

Super duper congratulations to Jack and Whitney!!

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.

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"
