Whew... I'm back at work, and looking forward to the Moab 'Zu Zoo Seven already!

Great to meetcha all, and thanks especially for the invite up to dinner on Friday night!

Special thanks to:
* Bob, for the ride in his rocketship on Tiptoe through Hell -- riding up Tipover Challenge was a real hoot!
* Todd, for allowing me to commandeer his VX to lead Kane Creek.
* Tru, for proving that my Kane Creek line COULD be done (apologies to the rest of you -- I shoulda stacked more rocks!)
* Larry/Jesper/Tone/others for sharing the contents of the margarita machine.
* Larry for the towstraps -- I still need to buy one!
* Andy, Deby, and Marshall for tailgunning our unofficial Moab Rim night run on Saturday -- that truck flat-out rocks (good driving certianly doesn' hurt, ether!)
* Tone for parts delivery
General thanks to all the 'Zu staff that makes this event happen. I'm not breaking my arm patting myself on the back -- there are scads more folks than me who work to pull this off. Further thanks to the folks who donated to the raffle -- GREAT support from the VX crowd, here! I'm sure I've left folks out, but thanks to all!

My favorite VX driver this year? Lisa ... she gamely tried many lines, even though 'wheeling was pretty new to her. She asked for help when she needed it, followed my spotting, and drove well the rest of the time -- and just generally tickled me with her enthusiasm throughout the day Bob and I trailed just behind her. That sort of infectious enthusiasm, especially from firstimers, is what really makes the planning and effort of this event worthwhile. Gil was my favorite newbie last year -- great to see him back for a second year, and with great driving skills, as well.... his clean car hides what must have been some off-season practice!
