Merlin in Moab!

[nocturnalVX]

Cool! We are up to 8 contributing members!
Just to make sure there is no confusion here... there are no set plans yet. Whether or not Merlin comes with his family, comes alone, drives, flys into a nearby town & joins the VX convoy, stays with the wild bunch at the Red Rock or something a tad nicer... all of that will depend on what we raise. I don't expect anyone to give more than they can afford. I just want to be able to tell him we've raised $x so he can figure out his next move.
Merlin helped you out in the past, and you feel like chipping in even though you are not going to Moab yourself? Saved on parts? Got some part super fast? Got something that you were told was no longer available? These are all great reasons to treat this guy to VehiCROSS-mania Moab style!

I dont know him at all, but so far everyone here seems like good people. I will be rolling through St charles,Mo via I70 with the wife and kids, and I will be dropping them off in KC,MO. I would be more than willing to take him from grand junction. I will be in an 07 expedition, with the VX on a trailer, and just one friend with me. He could watch dvds in the back, lots of baby einstein...lol. Maybe some Monsters Inc.

I talked with him the other day,he wasn't sure if he was coming or not.

There seems to be some confusion as to what is going on here. We want to bring Merlin to Moab. Merlin loves the idea of joining us in Moab. He has a family and would like them to join him if possible. He is on a parts guy budget, so like us, his funds are limited. Whether he can join us or not depends on what we can raise. This is a vacation and he needs to know what he will have to spend and work into the budget. But we need to let him know what we have raised, so he can make his plans accordingly. Basically, give what you are comfortable with. We will collect the contributions once we are all in Moab and present him with the cash.

How is he supposed to know if he is going, if he hasn't been told the plan yet?

I hope this helps.

While I've never been to Moab, and it's a long way from home, the pictures look spectacular. I think what you are doing for Merlin sounds great and you should all be commende for bring the VX experience to life for this guy and his family. He must surely love this circle of VX enthusiasts and their PUV's.

UPDATE...

I talked to Merlin earlier today, and told him that we have pledges allowing for a donation of $1000. Looks like he & his wife (but not his daughters) will be joining us in Moab and staying at the Red Rock Lodge! I tried booking thier room, but nobody answered at the Red Rock. Plans are still being made, so no other details have been worked out. However, they will be joining us for the VX run on Tueday at least.
