As you can tell the mrs and I really are bummed we didnt make this year. We will make it next year even if we take her Grand Cherokee and ride the trails with someone else or drive the GC along in the back.

Now that we have moved into our new home (first home we have owned) i can now start to budget and look into this with renewed energy

251.5 days left!!!! Whoohoooooo!
Went to an old college buddy's wedding in NJ this week... turns out they've moved to Grand Junction, CO, which is a hair less than 2 hours from Moab! Talked it over with the wife on the way home and she's willing to consider. Not ready to commit just yet, but who knew this would ever even be in the realm of the possible for this East Coast guy? Better start planning the skid plate, lift, tires, etc. now. :naughty:
vt, bring it on!!:dance: There are a few VXers in the Denver area, and I live in Carbondale (which is near Aspen). Each year we do a little convoy out to Moab and we pass right through Grand Junction on our way so we could pick you up as we go and add you to the line of VX's streaming out to Moab.
No pressure, but just something to think about.
Just Do It!!!:bgwb:
Here's a thought and a question. We were dicated to when we had each Moab ZuZu. When Isuzu ran it they told us when it was. It was always next week after Mother's Day. That ment the VX Run was on the first Tuesday after Mother's Day.
I don't know about you, but in order for me to make it to the VX Run that ment I had to leave a day before Mother's Day. I've been doing that for the last 5 years. Needless to say I haven't celebrated Mother's Day with my Mom or my wife for five years.
Since we are no longer dictated by Izusu why not move it back a week after Mother's Day. That will solve two problems. First, I will not be on my wife's and Mom's hit list. Second, those out at Moab the last couple of years have noticed the week we have been going out to Moab has be taken over by the a national ATV group. They have choosen that same week to do there trail runs too. There are over 500+ ATV on the trails with us.
Anyone want to change the date?
Peace.
Tom
p.s.
I wiil make a new thread so I don't jack this one.
My boss scheduled a class that I have to teach to the Idaho DOT this week. We might be able to come down for the weekend but the VX run is a no go for me this year.
Todd
As I stated in my last post I can't make it for these dates so I would not be opposed to a date change.Quote:

Todd and Littlebeast,
I can do the week after too. I still think it's a win/win move for everyone to move it back one week. For those not familiar with the thread, here is one arguement to have ZuZu moved back one week.

Heh, between Moab for me and the state fishing opener for Dad, my Mom hasn't seen us for Mother's Day for many years. The freedom to do whatever the hell she wants without interference from the menfolk is our gift to her. :bgwo:
WAH!! I can't see my mommy. J/K sort of:bgwb:
If we are going to change the date,let's get it done.
I need to change my reservations at the Red Rock!
ps after 2010 Lets do the fall / September, October 2011:_confused:supercool
For 2010 the way the calendar sets up is a little unique, in that May 1st is a Saturday (making our usual "3rd weekend" for ZuZoo earlier in May), and Memorial Day is late (31st). so there is an extra weekend between ZuZoo weekend and Memorial weekend, so moving back a week isn't a problem.
But in subsequent years this is not true... in general I would hate to get back home just a few days before Memorial weekend, it is nice to have a weekend in between.
