ZuZoo VI May 14-17, 2003

[BumbleV-X]

There are LOTS of campgrounds around Moab. Portal Ranch actually has it's own website, and that is central campground and start of all runs. Lots of people camp in Moab. I would rather bring my own coffee maker, and stay where there is a hot shower, and wake up calls. The Super 8 is a few hundred feet away from Portal, and the Motel 6 is closer still. Portal Ranch has cabins at resonable rates, tent spaces, and trailor spots. It has dog runs, running water, and hot showers. If you are interested in getting a cabin, or reserving a tent space, it's limited and I would make reservations as soon as possible.

Anxiously waiting and counting down Moab,

Camping at Portal campgrounds is definitely the way to go if you like camping at all! The temperature in the evenings is awesome and the facilities at Portal Campgrounds are excellent. You can stay at portal for 5 nights at about the same price you pay for one night at the Super 8. They give ZuZoo attendees a 10% discount too which is a nice little bonus.

I've camped several times in Tellico and the one week that I camped at Portal was definitely more enjoyable than any of my Tellico trips! I highly recommend camping there... I'd be there again this year of it were possible.

If you plan on camping, be sure to make reservations... Here is Portal's site: PORTAL

Paul,

Super 8 for me...

I just got my campsite reservation confirmation from Portal via e-mail. Although, I think I'm gonna call back and add Tuesday as well. After reading these posts, I guess I made the right decision.

I think we ought to consider staying at a different hotel this year - there has always been one associated with the event but not very well publicized. I will find out the info buy know it is just a little farther from the Portal but cheaper than the Super8. It will also give us an opportunity to meet more of the other Isuzu folkes.

Reminder, VehiCROSS ONLY run is Tuesday the 13th

[VX crazy]

Is it the Tuesday before or after? I assume before.

Red Stone Inn

Where the other ’Zoids are staying and the rates are cheaper than the Super 8.

You mean we arent elitist anymore?

[Tone]

Not necessarily! We will of course request our own wing of the hotel, on the ground floor and preferred parking. We do need to get to work on the elitist flag / colors though....

[BumbleV-X]

Flag? Hmmm This has possibilities!

1st floor? uhm Tone..... it only has one story and 50 rooms..... lets not push our luck. Some of these trucks are bigger than we are and can use us as a lanch pad.

Just a thought....

I understand that the elitists will be staying at the Red Stone Inn. I was just about ready to make our reservations when my pocketbook stopped me. After checking around, I found a better deal. Reservations at the Red Stone Inn are $64.00 plus tax for 2 queen size beds (AAA discount), and $59.00 plus tax for 1 queen size bed (AAA discount). Just down the street is the Ramada Inn. The Ramada Inn has 2 queen size beds (AAA discount) for every night including the weekend for $59.60 INCLUDING tax. Their singles are the same price. The AAA book says that Ramada has an extra diamond from the Red Stone. Ramada has microwaves, and refrigerators in each unit. I think we'll take the luxury for a cheaper price. I just booked two rooms for May 12th - May 18th. We are caravaning with some friends (in a Jeep), but would love to share the road with others from So. Cal.

Just my .02

The discounted rate for the "Isuzu Group" I got from Red Stone last week was a room with two double beds for $59.95 + tax. There are $39 rooms in town as well.

C'mon, no campers? $17.00 a night at Portal right in thick of everything? I hope I'm not the only VXer sleeping under the stars. If anyone else is contemplating a campsite, I'll be there. What could be better than a starry night and a camp fire in MOAB?

[VX crazy]

What could be better than a starry night and a camp fire in MOAB?

Awe, Airconditioning, shower and soft bed?!

[Anita]

Not to mention the quiet...

I will be happy to spend all my time keeping all the zoid's awake at Portal at night. We could run midnight campground rally cross racing through the park. (Oooo, not supposed to call it that!)

How about a chorus of VX'ers serenading the campground with songs like... you choose 'em. ;pr;
