In addition to all I have already posted...
Thank you so much to everyone. I had an awesome time out in Moab, as I do every year.
Steve- Great idea going on that hike in Fischer's tower. Thanks for inviting us. And thank you for leading us on Kane Creek. It was great convoying with you. Hope to see you in Gilbert.
Biju- I was so glad that you decided to come out this year. We missed you last year. Next time... Bring the Axiom
Crager34- It was an awesome surprise having you meet up with us on Kane Creek.
Jay- I have FJ envy. We will have to make it down to Texas soon.
Kenny- Thanks for fixing Gill's exhaust flange, he was a happier camper after that.
Donna- It is always a pleasure talking with you. I hope you and Kenny make it to the Gilbert run. And yes you do say "eh" a lot... :p
Kodiak- Way to make Again and Again look easy in street performance tires!
Ldub- Thanks for showing my sister the ropes on Dome Plateau. Sorry we missed you on the last day. We will see you soon...
Marlin- You did good noob! :bgwo:
mn840sc- You impressed me taking your ride on Kane Creek! Major kudos for you!
Scott and Laura- I love you!!! You are such a great pair and it is such a great pleasure to hang out with the both of you. If only I lived closer...
Mark- Your VX gets beefier(sp?) by the year. Lockers are next? Hmmmm...
Greg- Thanks for showing my Mom around Dome Plateau. Glad you decided to ride out to moab a day early with us. See you next year...
Jack- It's always fun to wheel with you. You got to make it out to Chicago again soon. We'll buy you the best Chicago pizza, I happen to know someone... LOL
Rowhard- Though we didn't get to do much talking, watching your Dragon go up Again and Again was mesmerizing. It was the first time I had seen a Dragon in person. She truly is beautiful.
Scott Harness- Sorry you couldn't wheel with us. I am glad you decided to join us at Miguel's for dinner. It's always fun hanging out on the stoop with you.
Todd and Linda- Thanks for leading our trails and for tailgunning (not easy to do without a windshield). See you in a few weeks!
Tom- Glad we found you before heading out on our hike to Fischer's Tower. Thanks for letting my sister ride shotgun with you on Kane Creek. She had a blast!
Billy- I did not think you would be able to get up the right side of Again and Again, but you proved me wrong. And it made for some pretty cool shots. It was great wheeling with you.
Lisa- Next time, we will bring the Jager!!! I don't care if you say you are only drinking beer. It's MOAB! And we are doing Jager shots!
Sue- Sorry you missed out on the VX Run. Too many Chunky Monkees???? LOL It was so fun meeting you and seeing your enthusiasm for the VX. Glad you caught the addiction. Hope to see you next year.
Justin- Say it isn't so! We are going to miss seeing you in your Ebony! You better still make it to Moab. Regardless of what you are driving.

DANG, this is the worst Moab withdrawls EVER...:sighwgray
This is the first time since returning to Fgo, that I've had any ambition to post, I still haven't unpacked, or even looked at any of the trip pics....haven't even washed all the bugs off Suzy...:eek:
I'll get around to posting up the pics here in the next few days, but don't nobody hold yer breath...:rolleyesg
A big THANK YOU to all who HAVE taken the time to post pics, it doesn't make the withdrawls any easier, but they're fun to look at anyway.:thumbup:
I hears ya Dub! I miss everyone! Coming back to reality sux!
Thank you to all for making my comeback a wonderful happening!
A minor point of information, the "crack" on Poison Spider is "officially" known as "The Wedgie"...Quote:

I am gonna agree with Tom, Kane Creek was the best trail, river crossings, decent obstacles, crazy ledges, and of course the abandoned Jeep, still kickin myself for not taking his hood ornament and plate number and doing a "garden gnome" photo shoot with his ornament and then sending it back to him...would have been classic. "Wish you were here" on the CD with the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I was in Missouri, I took the VX off the trailer for some krawlin on my Father in laws farm. I went to cross a creek, sank in the mud, tore the front plastic off, bent the fenders and hood, had to get pulled out by a John Deere 4020...LOL. All the stupid stuff I did in Moab, and no major damage, 30 minutes in the mud...it took me almost an hour to fix the stuff. Still gotta straighten the fenders out when I get home:( More incentive too start my bumper. Next weekend, the bumper project starts.
