Moab '08 Accommodations

[Dumke]

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.

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

Sounds good. Pretty clean place?

Bart,
IMO the group camping is MUCH nicer than the individual camps. Not only that, but it's half the price. I don't know that's just my opinion.

BTW-Are we reserving as "The Izusu Group" or "VX Group" or as just individuals?

Peace.

Ummmm...It ain't the Ritz. It's more of a run down kind of place with extension cords where real wiring should have been installed...perfect for a couple of weirdos like Jim & me.
Tone, Lisa & Jay stayed there last year & I felt more at home there than in the corporate box we were in.
I don't mean to say it's awful or anything, it's just not new by anyones standards. It's about a block off the main drag, close to down town.
Maybe Kenny, Beej, Chi-Chi, or the Gammonator will chime in with their thoughts on the "star rating" of this particular road abode.

That is the one if you want an individual site. I will be in "H" which is the first site, just on the other side of the pond from the group area. Got my confirmation today!

[Triathlete]

I put in the comments area that I was with ZuZoo. In the past when it was an official event they used to give a discount...maybe it will still work!

[tomdietrying]

Those that want the group camping at the Portal let's say we are with the ZuZu group. If they give us a group discount, that's even better.

I won't be able to make the call until this afternoon. If some calls before then, ask if we can reserve the area opposite the check in store. It also the closest to the river.

My picks for tonight are Lesnar and Big Tim.

Peace.
Tom
