Thanks for the kind words Randii. I have only been off-roading twice since Zu Zoo V, but I think that being in Moab with all the other Zoids is what helped me pick up the skills. Learning from such a great bunch of people makes it easier to pick lines, know what's do-able, and how to be better prepared next time.
Lead foot Lisa's enthusiasm was very cool... I'm sure quite a few people are already making plans for Zu Zoo VII! See you all there!
Note: I did not witness ANY poor driving by any VXer on or off the road durring the trip, and considering I went home with one less IPF light for my safari bar(dang gravity!!!), I'd like to give kudos to all!
