Total gas cost to Moab $0.00
Not going and having to look at all the fun everyone had....Envy
I should start saving for the trip next year now, I just saw the news tonight and they are talking about oil at $200 a barrel in 2 years which would mean gas at $7.00 a gallon. So with that dandy news here is to Moab 2009.

Well, there's the $734.00 I know about for sure that's "etched in plastic"...
Then there's the $??? that I paid in ca$h money...prolly another $2-300.00
Best mileage recorded...17.52
Average mileage guesstimate...12-13, we had 3-4.5 days out of 5.5 travel days where we were pushin' against a headwind...& I'm pretty sure it's up-hill both ways.
The bargain of the trip was my half of the Red Rock Lodge bill...$170.50 for six nights lodging...thanks for wangling the group discount Chi-Chi...you're the Best!
Speaking of my little Sistr'...got a call from Her & Gill this afternoon, they had mech. probs in Ohio & needed Merlins phon #...her water pump pulley came loose somehow & shredded her serp belt. Merlin (THE MAN) was $100.00 cheaper, & four days faster than the local Isuzu stealership.
All in all, a GREAT time, made all the better when we found a little place in the Black Hills, called "Claw, Antler & Hide Co." Where I scored a couple of Skulls...1 Lynx, 2 Bobcat & an assortment of Badger claws & Porcupine quills.
Combined with the petrified Shark teeth (yes, I found the missing package) I purchaced in Moab, should make for an interesting "look" at next years gathering...

By my calculations you paid $1.18 an hour!! That's a killer deal, vegas you're looking atleast $30/hour, and most hotels won't even rent by the hour.Originally Posted by Ldub

$311.15
Total cost for me including, Gas and out to dinner, lunch, breakfast each day. Plus the Charles A. Wells 2nd Edition with Spiral.
The hotel was ~$205 additional for 3 nights, but Brit paid that. Pays to book early and stay at the Red Rock $170 for twice the nights... insane... Although our room was pretty nice. Desert Inn, at the end of town.
