So... we might have to start a Get the Dubster to Moab thread? At this rate, we'll get everyone there except me...
Back on topic though...
I talked to Merlin, and he'll take the week off to hang out with us degenerates! He is going to drive to Moab with his wife and two daughters. Anyone that has dealt with him knows he's a cool guy, and talking to him about this has made it even more clear to me. He is very flattered that we are doing this for him, and does not care much about where we put his famliy up for their stay in Moab, but I'll reserve him a room at a place just a tad nicer than the Red Rock (however, Cece & I will be there at ground zero for the parties/wrench-fests). More than likely, they will need to hitch rides for the VX run (at least), so we'll line up volunteers as needed. We are going to solidify plans as Moab gets closer, and make things up as we go along a little too. I know $$$ is tight. Heck... Cece & I are still paying off LAST year's trip to Moab! When I find out how many nights (and where) he's staying, I'll let people know how much it's gonna run. If anyone wants to pick up meals, or buy him a drink... that will be cool too! This is a great vacation. I love getting together with all y'all! Getting Merlin to join us out there is gonna be kick a**!
