Bart, I was going to call you from the Stoop but I knew you would not answer. :bgwo:
I think right now I will take the time to once again prod Linda into accepting she is going to Moab next year! :yeso:
I will wear a kimono with DeLoreans on the shoulders if that is what it takes!
LOL, I would not have answered because I was in Barcelona. :)
Yeah, the seed is already planted. I'm forcing her.
Bart

They stopped for lunch after they had all done Hell's Gate and we thought we would drive ahead to the Escalator and eat lunch so we would be there when they caught up. We saw them come down Dragon's Tail, but they must have taken the cut-off back to the beginning of the trail because they never showed at Escalator.

Maybe it's only because I know where to look, but I can see where you photoshopped me out running down the hill behind you in that last pic. Certainly looks cool either way, just a little less silly without me. :)
Yup .. :thumbup:
Wasnt a silly 'thing"......Quote:

The only pics of my VX on Chicken's Corner are in the hands of a couple of members. Once I get a copy I'll post :)
To anyone who has NEVER been to Moab... YOU MUST GOOOOOOO!!!!
Even though I was only there for less than 2 days, I had one of THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE! EVERY PERSON I met there really did seem like family. My friend that I brought with me thought he would feel uncomfortable but he still hasn't stopped talking about the trip.
We had a freaking blast!!!! Actually meeting everyone, talking VX VX VX and actually having a few people who can stand to hear about my obsession with VX... priceless... The view while on the trail, the air, the environment... I mean we were just blown away. The only thing bad about the trip is that it wasn't long enough. But one thing is for sure, next year we are coming back and hopefully JHarris1385 & RedBlur can make it!
The conversations I had alone were worth the trip. Anyone else around where I live has crossed eyes within a couple minutes of talking VX with me but at Moab... it was non stop. I LOVED IT! I'd like to shout out to specific people that really made my trip awesome but I can't remember everyone's names and I didn't want to forget to mention anyone... but kudos for sure to Kat, Jo, MsHardeman, Kodiak and everyone that was so awesome!!!
This really is a KICK *** FAMILY!!! Especially when you meet everyone in person.
If you haven't been... YOU"VE GOTTA GO!!!!
