MOAB 'ZuZoo VXI - May 2014: 5/12/14 - 5/16/14

[Ldub]

Yay, I finally got around to making my reservation at The Lodge tonight!

Hopefully I'll feel confident enough to take the VX. Poor ol' thing has become a little "incontinent" lately and I have a couple new leakies on the garage floor. Oh well, if it's something serious, I'll just drive the Mustang and mooch a passenger seat from someone. (EDIT: Or just hang out drinking and laughing on the stoop. Either sounds good for the soul.)

At least there is SOME good news in this thread...

Ya' know that ther'll be MULTIPLE choices for shotgun...choose wisely..... .. ...

Soo...Joe's 5th wheel has a broken axle, and considering how much out of the country travel he's been doing for his work, he may not get it fixed in time for...well, anything this year. Which means I'm now a maybe for Moab, and bummed. I guess I'd better look in to rooms, but I'm assuming the Lodge is full now? I also plan to take a two week vacation in August (England via Iceland - my first trip out of country in 7 years), and I haven't told work I'd also like a week in May for this too. I still also have a slight alignment issue with my VX (from Spring Creek last year!) and I need to do something about the overheating that VXorado and Bartman pointed out was really pretty bad (the hood and fenders too hot to touch bad). I'm just not sure I'm going to have time to get to these things, I got promoted and work and for some reason they expect even more out of me now!

I will not be attending Moab this year. I was going to try and squeeze it in however with Oldest son about to go through drivers ed and having to find him a car Moab is going to have to wait.

I will sorely miss you all. Kinda bummed as this is the first time I have missed 2 years back to back.

BOOOOO....




...but family first

jo

And tha rest'yall...

And that INCLUDES the previous posters, who I'm sorry to say, have posted negativity upon the possibility of being there this year...

I feel very sad for some of you...you p1zz'd tha opportunity to meet me in Moab this year...down yer leg.......

But I'm feeling MOAR sorry for myself...missing that opportunity.

AND, the fact that I'll be missing the rest of those who have become my VX Fam... through years of trail camaraderie, stoop debauchery, & the flavor of the general "goin's on" that surround this yearly pilgrimage, that you each bring to the table...

HOWEVER....fear not, I happen to know that no matter what I bring with me as a conveyance, or who's there, or what the weather may bring...

Imma go to Moab, and have FUN anyway...


Oh....Robert, I can't think of much, that'll flesh out a young bucks skill behind the wheel of a vehicle.....

Than some off road skinny pedal experience...

The original reason I was peep'n on this thread, was to include this for the old trail hands, & noobs alike...trail etiquette 101...with regard to "pit stops"

Ha ha! I'm not worried.

No matter what I know I'll have a great time. I could do NO off-roading at all and just hang out at The Stoop and have a blast.

I could be a passenger with some people and spend a few days repeating, "OH CRAP, OH CRAP, I'M GOING TO DIE!!!" and have a great time.

Other rides would leave me sitting in the back seat thinking, "When is flight attendant coming back around with more crackers/caviar/wine" and have a great time.

I've saids it before and I'll says it again - the FUN is the hanging out with the people in the group more than the actual activity!

(Let's all hug now, ok?)
