Moab '08 Accommodations

[Kenny]

Honestly, I am not even worried about me. But since Linda is going to be with me AND it will be our anniversary, I have to do my best!

I'm in the same boat, I'd probably be looking at staying at the Red Rock. But when I mentioned the place to my wife - the face she gave sort of stopped the conversation there. (Sorry Larry, looks like her luv for ya has a limit - maybe you have to find her a bigger "stick" this year )

I'm looking at the Best Western Canyonlands since it's only a few blocks from the Red Rock and it's downtown. It's about $150 night, very pricy but it keeps the wife very happy. I found most hotels like La Qinta, Ramada, Comfort Suites etc... will be $130 - $150 a night (they have decent breakfeasts..) and the "well used" places like Red Rock about half that price.

Have you guys checked into the cabins at the campgrounds? They are pretty nice and if I remember, not nearly as pricey!

I'm open to anywhere, as long as it is:

1) Clean
2) Not super expensive
3) Allows doggies

Any info on the cabins (ie, links, numbers, etc) welcome!

I think you'd get lots of "points" with the little lady!

There are others also that a simplesearch will find! The options are there!

Awesome. I will reserve our spot once I figure out what nights we are camping.

Bart, we do expect to get there sunday right. I need to make my revs.

[CrnCnn]

So the group area Tom reserved is only avail. 12-16th. Maybe a different tom?

[nfpgasmask]

That's right. If we leave Reno on Saturday morning early, we will hit Great Basin around noon, camp and then leave Great Basin around noon or so Sunday, we will get to Moab late Sunday evening, loosing an hour because we cross over into Mountain Time.

Linda and I will probably get a hotel that night and the following night and then camp a couple nights, etc.

The 12th through the 16th is probably right for dates, you might just have to pick up the 15th if you guys are going to camp all week.

Hopefully the three of us can meet up soon and get this all hammered out.

LMFAO...That's quite understandable...I'm still laughing at the "stick" comment. . .

So does anyone care if I put up a tent in one of their group spots? I will pay my part, of course. So far it's just me and the dog, so I would rather crash in a group spot for cheap! PLEEEEEEEASE!!!

I don't see why not. Clint reserved group D, and that is where we will most likely stay, and I would assume Beau also....

I would imagine there is enough room. Just make sure you are far enough away from my tent so I don't hear any gross sounds coming out of yours in the middle of the night.

Bart

[ZEUS]

Yeah, Menace is a howler!

[tomdietrying]

Zues,
No problem with staying at either site. Call their 1 -800 number and say you are with the ZuZu group and tell which goup site you like C or D.

Peace.
Tom

p.s.
How long are you staying? Will you be able to do a few trails this year?

[ZEUS]

I haven't figured it out yet. I want to make the VX run but don't have vacation time yet. I'm just keeping an eye on other people's decisions and I'll figure my shiz out after you all do. I will be doing at least a trail or two though.
