Moab '08 Accommodations

[nfpgasmask]

I just wanted to start a formal thread about Moab 08, and where to stay/camp.

Please reply with some hotels and campsites and give us the details. There will likely be a lot of first or second timers going this year who will need a place to crash.

Please post this type of info:

Name: Gonzo Inn
Type: Hotel
Location: 100 W. 200 S.
Phone: 800-791-4044
Price level: Expensive
Pets allowed: Yes

For me personally, I am looking for a place to stay for the week that is not expensive, allows pets, and isn't a total dump. I would also like to camp for a night somewhere in Moab. I know some places have been mentioned already, but I do not know the exact details about location, cost and who will be staying there.

Anyway, all signs point to GO for 3 Reno VXers to be in Moab in May!!!! I think we are going to have a large event this year!

If you camp, camp at the Portal. It's $8.00 a night provided the Isuzu Organization stays there. If not I think it's $17 a night. BTW - that's camping at the Group sites. That's the way to go anyhow. There are plenty of trees, lush grass, two ponds to let the dogs go run around, 8 hot showers.
I promise I haven't seen a better camping spot two blocks from the center of Moab anywhere.
Peace.

Sweet, if there are showers I could probably get away with 2-3 nights there. I'll leave that up to the Mrs.

So Tom, do you need to reserve campsites? Do you have a map link or address? Any more details we need to know? I would love to camp with the group for at least 1 or 2 nights.

Thanks,
Bart

I can vouch for Tom as this is what ray and I did last year. I hate camping wiht a passion as being in the boy scouts and living in Texas well equals no fun at all. But aside from me freezing in New Mexico after I made fun of Tom which serves me right.,, sorry back on subject. Moab camp ground was super nice. Showers were really nice and we got a "Steal" for the first day . Bart that was my first year and only camped there one day because was limited on time I could spend there but well worth it imo.

Yeah, I ran into all these guys at the Portal where we camped last year. It was a "steal"! The year before, I also met everyone there for the show n' shine. It IS a great place to camp. That's where I'll be again.

Sweet, I will talk to Linda this weekend and get the hotels/camping stuff down pat. I can't wait. Camping with all the VXers and their VXes. Sounds like a riot to me.

So Billy, if it is just me, the wife and the VX, this is what I need to reserve, right:

Tent Sites: Picnic Shelter:, water in area, BBQ. $17.50

That sounds like a good price to me!!

Also, who is staying there and what nights? Or is it just a free-for-all?

Thanks,

Bart
