You guys will be sorely missed. but your trip sounds great. We can always face time (or Skype) with you during the Ice Cream Social so it'll be just like you're there (sort of).

Great talking to you as well Jo, and thanks again.

CeCe would need tying down



Jo

Just to be a little quicker than The Dubster., here goes...

You two should be good at that by now.
I kinda figured she would normally do the tying down.
That's par for the course no matter where they go on vacation.

Did I miss any, Dude?

FYI
If you haven't already heard, there is a rate hike in the works at the Red Rock Lodge. I got a phone call today with the news. I think it was ~20 a day more. They did say the rooms are remodeled so I guess you get what you pay for.
The website hasn't been updated with the new rates yet but should be soon.

Speaking of which... I need to go ahead and book something. So with this being my first time I have no idea what Red Rock Lodge is all about and "Stoop Parties"...what's that exactly? lol... Is this where everyone or most everyone stays? All I know is that I wanna meet everyone, and be surrounded by Isuzu and VX nuts like myself

From a few other posts it almost seems like it might not be very pleasant to stay at? What's the deal? Should I book here or is there another or better place nearby? Just trying to get something booked so it's locked in. I definitely am not going to miss out this years Moab

Hey Ty

Red Rock is an old "Motel" style place...you park outside your room door for the most part.
Many do stay there..some camp.
They are REALLY cool, they lets us wrench on the vehicles, make a mess..

...and generally take over.

The actual "Stoop" is the porch along the front of the "old side" of the building..
..rooms 101 - 112 I think.
It becomes the social center pretty much.
People meet here in the morn to divide up into trail groups...
...and after wheeling its crowded with people cocktailing ( or not)..
...and wrenching on problems!

New side is Motel6 standard.. old side "was" Motel 2.5 standard!..
...but I guess thats all better now!

Its a good base...lots of fun..and you'll meet everyone!

Here's The Stoop ("old side")in front of Dub and Jo's rooms (far end of the hotel from the street.



Jo, wrenching at The Stoop with the "new" side in the background


Red Rocks Lodge from down the street. "Old side on the right, "new" side on the left.


Festivities at the far end of The Stoop


YEP, that happens too.

It's not five star by any means, but it sure is a lot of fun.
