Colorado ZuZoo 2006 Convoy!

Calling all VX’ers – You going to Moab this year? Will your travels take you through Colorado on I-70? If so, let’s gather and caravan to Moab – after all, nothing beats seeing a string of VX’s in front and behind you!

MSHardeman and I have been in contact with each other for a while now regarding the idea of a caravan. After some thought we agreed the best place to meet up would probably be Glenwood Springs along I-70. The plan is to do lunch before heading out for Moab!

The proposed logistics:

Date: 05.15.06
Time: 11:00am
Where: “Hot Springs Lodge & Pool” parking lot : Glenwood Springs, CO.
Directions: I-70 West to Exit 116.
CB Channel: 17
Walkie-Talkie: Channel 9, Code 0

Obvious participants would be Colorado VX’ers going to ZuZoo. However, any out of state people interested? Everybody’s invited!!!

Way to go Biju. You know I'll be there.

The invitation is open to anyone, but if some of you Colorado VXers just want to do lunch in Glenwood it would be great to have you there.

Bimati - You're more than welcome to come, but I know that it's back tracking for you. If not, we'll call you as we reach Grand Junction, and figure out where to meet up.

Should be a lot of fun. Can't wait to meet everyone.

[Bimati]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if I will be in Glenwood or Grand Junction, but I am definitely along for the ride!

I look forward to meeting you fellow VXer's.

Any travelling tips for a newbie besides a bottle of Back to Black?

[Locomigo]

Sorry, I'll already be in Moab with my Amigo... I know I know... not a VX, but still an Isuzu, and yall should hook up with some of the rest of the guys in the group too throughout the rest of the year. Alwasy somethin going on and wheelin trips planned.

[Moncha]

BUMP - Added another choice to the pack

[biju]

Bimati: I'll try to scrounge up the list of things I took for last years trip. Once I find it I'll PM you the list. (anybody else interested?)

Locomigo: Drop me a PM when you go locally. I'll take you up on that offer sometime!

I see we have two more joining: pbkid and raver_boi_88. Welcome. In addition, it's confirmed my roommate is going to roll with. He'll be driving my other VX so that makes 6 in total. Excellent...

[MSHardeman]

Biju,

Count me in on the list of stuff to bring.

I can't wait to see six VX's rolling down the road. Should we get a police escort when we get to Moab? It'll be like a parade down Main Street.

[biju]

I think our police escort (Moncha) can't make it.

I'll send you the list too... np.

-biju.

[pbkid]

two things..first would u mind sending me one of those lists? secondly i know everyone is making a big deal outta other vehicles..but can my friend bring his tacoma? he wont go on the vx only run, he can ride with me...but the other days can he follow?

[Locomigo]

If you are looking for information on local runs etc with a great group, look here:

Trailseekers group on yahoo groups. or link via www.trailseeker.com

[Triathlete]

There is no problem with your friend in the tacoma wheeling with the groups in Moab. Last year there were jeeps, chevies, dodges and a rover that joined us.

[biju]

Most of this stuff came with me last year after doing a search on this site. Quite a few threads offered suggestions on stuff to bring.

Here's what I plan to bring this year (my checklist if you will):

Garmin Rino GPS (& batteries)
CB Handheld (w/ car plug & batteries)
Wrench Set
Screw Driver
Pliers
Tent
Sleeping Bag
Water Canteens
Camelback
Flashlight (& batteries)
Duct Tape
Camp Chairs
Blanket
Cooler
1qt Royal Purple 10w30
Digital Cam & Charger
Firewire Flashdrive Reader
Blank CD’s
Powerbook
Visine! (Thanks, Moncha)
Sunglasses
Bungee Cord
Rain Jacket
Cell Phone (& charger)
Camp Medical Kit
Camp Knife
Extra Rags
Alan Wrenches
Sunscreen
Hat
Extra Audio Fuses
Spare Tire
Mallet (Not to be confused with "Mullet". LOL.)
Tire Gauge
Tire Deflators
Spare Skid Plate Bolts
Nylon Tow Strap
Pups
Pup Toys & Food

It looks like a lot of stuff, but if you think about it - it's really just basic items you'd want anyways (some for on the trail, some for off the trail). Don't have all this crap? I was told last year not to worry. Just bring a CB, tow strap, spare & some food/water and you're ready to roll... But then again, that's just passing on the same advice I was given.

I will try and join up when the caravan hits Grand Junction...not sure if I can get the time off yet. How long does the trip last in terms of staying in the Moab area? Do you all plan on doing the 2 day trail?

Bimati - (Jeff) Got the info you dropped off. Great to hear from a fellow VX owner. I think there are only 3 of us in the Grand Valley.

I concur with Triathlete. Your friends are welcome. (although, they might have to drive in the back of the caravan! Just kidding...)

Rick - If you're able to go just iron out a place and time you want us to meet you and Bimati in Grand Junction. If you join us for the caravan then the event will run from the 15th - 20th.

Not sure what you mean by the 2day trail. It might exist as a part of the event, but I haven't heard of it.

Hope to see you there...
