Who WILL be at ZuZoo in '06?

[jgalt]

Jim - It is no longer the VX only run. Just the VX run although I sure wish you would bring the new addition.
Todd

GREAT!! If I can't get the VX down there, at least I can join you all on a run.

Bring the VX!!!

I will try - I promise! If I can't talk Miss Ramie into coming down it's possible that one of our local club members cannot bring down their rig, so I'll lend them the new VX to take down and they can at least attend.

some choices.
Gold Bar Rim with some surprises (31/2)
Cliff Hanger (31/2)
Moab Rim (4+)
Or one of the trails we have done in the past:
3D
7 Mile Rim
Elephant Hill
Devils Racetrack
Dome Plateau
Hotel Rock

Devils Racetrack?? Isn't that up north of I-70 and south of Castledale or am I thinking of the wrong thing? If I'm right, I vote for Devils Racetrack! ;Dr;

Best,

Jim

Jim has a VX now? Gil "might" make it again this year? Should be a good old time. Info is starting to trickle onto the zuzoo.org website. We have another planning conference call next Thursday. I even saw a trail list spreadsheet. Keep checking, Moab Zu Zoo IX is starting to gather steam!! See you all there is a few weeks!! Steve G

Ordered my new CB today. Getting the Cobra 75. Will sure beat the el-cheepo handheld I used last year that hissed the whole time!

[Ldub]

I'm getting ready too...just ordered a 50 cf. alum. scuba tank for portable air.

I guess I am rough on CB's my 75 started having mike problems the second year I had it. Just seems like there is too much in the mike. I just had to take my old President out due to problems and put in it’s place a Cobra 19. Small, does the job and if it goes south I am not out much.

For those coming, please have a CB radio. You will miss much without it. Magnetic mount antennas are a good way to go with the VX since they are not permanent. My Wilson antenna lives under the hood most of the time until I need it.

My CB probably won't see as much use as yours Todd. I like the fact that I can take of the antenna and it pretty much disapears.
Speaking of antenna's what is a good magnetic mount to use?

[Triathlete]

Thanks Todd. I'd been looking at that one. I'll see if my local radio shack has it for a reasonable price.

[Triathlete]

CB is installed. Waiting on the antenna. Ordered the Lil Wilson. The sight Todd posted is by far the cheapest I could find. Local Raio Shack wanted $25 for a no-name cheapo.

Another ????
Is there a way to tune the antenna without a SWR meter and how nessesary is it?

[Locomigo]

Not easily.

Yes, you want to get the SWR, not very expensive and vital to tuning the CB for good reception. Its a hassle, but WELL worth the time, when you have a 3+ mile range on your CB. Excellent for on the road driving to hear the trucker chatter (entertainment) and for the off highway travel to communicate with others. Its helped out on quite a few runs I have had, especially when having to escort a broken rig back to town and finding another group, or meeting up with the Gold Bar Rim crew when running Golden Spike.

So anyone have a total count of VXes that will be there?

[Triathlete]

At last 5 no more than 50....just my guess!



From my count looks like 15 give or take a few.

[biju]

15? That's great! By comparison, how many were there last year? 10?

[Locomigo]

To be specific and accurate...

There are 24% VehiCROSS registered, second only to Amigos which sit @ 30%. The Troopers make up 18%, and Rodeos garner 10% for a total of 82% Isuzu.

Actual numbers show 12 VX. See yall in a couple weeks.

I did not register mine but it will be there. I did sign up for Pritchett Canyon but in the Jeep under Linda's name. I think the count for the VX run is 14.
