Dood...my mantra, since I experienced my first Moab adventure, has been:
I'll do what I'm able to do, to prep for Moab...& then go & have WAY too much fun anyway..., & mega dancin' nanners all around...
Personally, I've NEVER had all my poops inna group before Moab, usually due to flooding, weather, or just plain lazy... but somehow, always managed to have fun anyway...
And in my opine, it get's better every single year...
So yeh, as I've said before...
I think that there are a certain number of us, that would STILL show up every year for the Famgath, even if they closed all the trails in Moab & surrounding environs...
It's not like a REAL family, it's better, it's like a fam that you got to choose....
.
& miss you ALL...& as said previously...
I....C A N'T....W A I T !
