    Hotel in Moab is done.... no problem there. Might need to tell Merlin that Pikes Peak is WAAAYYYYYYYYY outta the way to see on their way to Moab. If need be, I am a Colorado native and can give them lots of things to look for on their way out to Moab from Denver. A side trip to Colorado Springs will add a number of hours to their trip for certain.

    AND..... and.... if they did see Pikes Peak... they will soon forget it after coming to Moab and seeing what is out here.

    And.... maybe they should check into flying into Grand Junction, CO if the donation dollars will cover it. If they fly during the day.... OMG will they see soooo much more of the Rockies then taking the trip to the Springs to see Pikes Peak!!

    Merlin's coming, Merlin's coming. It'll be great to meet him and shake the hand of one righteous dude.

    If they are heading to Moab on Saturday they will miss the convoy heading in on Monday, but that's OK, as long as they enjoy themselves. If they DO join the convoy we can make sure that they see a lot of good Colorado scenery.

    i very likely will be headed out to moab around the same time and i would be more than happy to convoy with them to make sure they dont have any problems with their car, if they would like to join me for the trip...

    Thumbs up On Merlin's Behalf...

    Hey ya'll,

    Just wanted to share the latest message from Merlin.

    21 Days!!!!

    "Hey Gill, one more thing…

    I’ve never registered to post anything on the forums since I don’t own a VX and really don’t spend much time on the web outside of work (I go weeks without checking my Yahoo mail!)… As such, I was hoping that you could post something in advance of our trip to all the guys and gals that are making this possible and let them know that I’m truly humbled by their invitation and that we really are looking forward to meeting each and every one of you!



    If you could post that on my behalf I’d really appreciate it!



    -Merlin"

    You guys are awesome.

    Sadly, MOAB is really not much of an option for me with my locale so I hope the VX gang can show Merlin a good, solid outing.

    Good looking out for the hand that has been feeding us.

    That is correct. He'll be checking in Sunday the 10th, and checking out on Wednesday the 13th. Too bad Merlin & his wife can't stay longer, but at least they'll be on the Tuesday run.
