Unless the world ends, I run into financial difficulties, the VX breaks beyond repair, etc. I plan on being there. Maybe I'll drag a friend or two along.
I think that I concur...:_thinkingQuote:

There are two major lodging venues, the redrock inn, http://red-rocklodge.com/ thats where dub and some of the others crash, and then at the Portal campground: http://portalrvresort.com/. At the campground there are two options, the group site, no power, its basically a field for tents. Or you can get your own camp site with power and whatnot.Quote:

If I can get three other folks to bring their factory spares, I will put em on my VX and roll down the strip on 4 spares!! Would be funny to run the short fins n things on the 4 spares as well;)
Hmmm... I'll bring mine if you promise NOT to give it back to me! I've been dying to get rid of this thing.Quote:

We are up to three spares, just need one more...its gonna be a sweet pic, a proton on 4 spares, and I will wheel em.
Shouldn't be a problem to bring donut as well.
Still dreaming about MTB'ing on Moab, but not a deffinant yes yet.
I still have my spare. I don't know if I will make it out there for the first day though.
Make those dreams reality!:yesy: Plus, I am sure you will have no problem finding an open seat for the trail rides also if you need a break from the Mt bike.Quote:

better yet get everyone there and take over the whole place, no one to complain then.
I second that!Quote:

I know others have brought trailers to the hotel, including the Jeep guys that convoyed with us this year. I believe the motel had them stash it in a nearby empty lot.Quote:

Cain't hardly wait to see the VX clan...:dan_ban::LineWave::dan_ban:
dunno folks.... we'll see if the new job will let me have time off :(
if not, then ill head out friday afternoon and head back sunday night.
one way or another ill try my best to be there.
and im tryin to talk my dad into joining us :D , he would bring his 1.5 ton military truck with detroit lockers :drool2:
I just found out I might make it to this meet I am probably going homeschool in December mom told me. She has cancer so I'm getting home schooled to take care of her but I'm gonna try to fit a Vx meet in every once and a while :D.
Dude that's terrible, sorry to hear it. Maybe she can recover in time to go with you? Dub's monkey concoction might be just the thing she needs. :)
I know Dub's Moonkee's cure me of being sober for a few hours.:biggringr In all seriousness, though, I hope your mom pulls through with flying colors.
I'm sure it will all work out for the best. I hope I go homeschooled really then I can spend more time with my VX, and of course take care of Mom.
I use the Hampton Inn at the north end of town, they have a parking areaQuote:

That spot should accommodate a 35 footer + vehicle. They are a little pricey $140-150 a night, but their beds are heavenly, full breakfast is included, and they are one of the few in town that have double queens in their regular rooms. My husband and I are river rats as well as 4 wheelers and live only 5 hours away from Moab. We like to run the "Moab Daily" stretch of the Colorado River in the Rte 128 canyon from Hittle Bottom to Take Out Beach. :bgwo: Easy access to that lot as well, with plenty of turn around room. Most people park closer to the hotel entrance down on the lower level, so that upper lot doesn't see a lot of action because of the distance. Check them out online.......might be just the answer.
Don't count on my donut this year. We won't be able to make it to Moab till 2012.:(
What happened Tom, I know you were all about going? We weren't going to be anywhere near ready to go next year, so maybe we can both go in 2012. Fingers crossed...
We thought we had convinced our daughter to hold off on her wedding till Oct 2012 so that we could afford Moab in 2011. Not only is she back on for Oct 2011, she has Gucci taste on Mom & Dad's Walmart budget. It looks like t4b will be at Moab 2012.
