Moab weather

Wow, am I behind... thankfully, Keith has been doing an awesome job getting the updates out! I've been travelling for business and just basically working too much and too often, but I am STOKED about Moab, and it wil be great to see the VX contingent yet again. Seems like there will be about ten VXs, which always gives me a chance to watch townfolkd double-take, gawk, and gape at vehicles they've never seen before. That's pretty impressive, considering how many truly odd vehicles pass through Moab in any given year.

Keith and Anita hit the highlights -- Moab 'Zu Zoo is a good place to get a feel for what your Isuzu can really do, and the event staff works really hard to keep everyone close to their comfort zone, and generally outside the damage zone. In most every case where a vehicle has been damaged, it has still been within the driver's comfort zone... some of us play on the tough stuff, knowing that it may leave an impression on our sheet metal!

I can't imagine 'retiring from Moab' like Bob and Anita have done, but I respect that they have been there and done that, and hope to bump into them elsewhere. In the meantime, tho, every third weekend in May, you'll be able to find me in Moab... this year, with my own actual truck!

See you there!
