Well Jon, here's an idea....
Fly out.....(probably a lot cheaper than driving/fuel/hotels, and rooms at the Red Rock are around $59-$69/night)
1) And I'll make the same offer to you that I've made to others....you're welcome to be my seatmate any time (and we can split the day too), and then when I'm too tired to do a trail, I stay at the stoop and you take my VX.....especially cuz I know you're even more conservative than ME with the truck! Remember, mine is ARMORED....this is the reason I did it...so I don't have to worry that much about messing it up too badly!!
...oh, almost forgot Jo's favorite on my truck.......my POS plastic fake front and rear skids...which are NOT ARMOR....we can remove them.....
But I do have the COOLEST CARGO BOXES in the back...they're really handy on the Moab trip!
FYI...I usually sit out Wed and Friday cuz I'm too pooped. Last year I rode with tjh (Travis) on one of these days cuz he does crazy stuff in a basically stock VX...I love to see that stuff...and we had a total blast!..if I did that I could WATCH you....and get great pics of my own VX for a change...instead of Larry's butt all the time....
...
......And this is a dead serious offer, no kidding!
2) Another idea....fly to Denver and then ride out with one of the Denver area gang that usually caravan....pbkid, mSHardeman, VXorado maybe, maybe some others....
3) Or fly to Phoenix, or maybe Flaggstaff, and I pick you up and continue the drive with me......It's 2 hrs to Flag, then about another 5-6 hrs to Moab.
TRAVIS.......AKA "KAMAKAZI TRAVIS".....NOTICE I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR THESE!!!!
LARRY'S BACK SIDE...(although it's not a bad back side to follow...best way for me to learn lines to take!!)
.....OK, SO I DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO THIS ONE....![]()
