MOAB 2009

XterraXtian · **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2008 7:50 pm

A while back, Gene mentioned trying to get a club run to MOAB in 2009.

I'm trying to plan 2009 and 2010 summer vacations (well, Gone MOAB
is actually in May, but it'll be so pricey it'll have to serve as me and Chris'
major vacation of the summer) and I can flip flop MOAB and our other
plan depending on when the club could decide and pull together.

It's going to take a lot of planning, $$$, and time off...but was wondering
if Gene and everyone has thought of it since.

We're definitely going in 2009 or 2010 reguardless, but was hoping the club
could do it together.

Is the plan still on?

Does 2010 sound better to everyone for $$ and planning-wise?

When does Steph finish school? (hi steph!) 2010 sounds so far away, but it's not. This summer's already planned and spent (offroading in MO and IN) and 2009's getting planned.

I just think it's something we need to get rolling now seeing as it takes a lot of time and money to go and people have to plan way ahead for that.

I'm definitely in for 2010.

Yeah that would be cool.. This way it'll give me more than enough time to save plus get some gears for my truck..

I would def be interested, but how do you plan on getting there with your truck?? road trip?? by then gas might be $5+ and will cost a forturne... or would you put it on a train shpper and get there?? i dont know what would be the best but to me i believe it would be a good 1500 -2000 vacation... what do you guys think?

Well the good thing is that we'd have plenty of time to save up for a trip like this..

Anyone have a CDL?

Rent one of those trucks that delivers vehicles to dealerships. Everyone splits the gas for it.

just a thought

I'd be interested. It might be cheaper to rent a truck, have Greg drive, and haul all of our trucks out there. The added benefit would be that major breakdowns would not be a problem. Just winch it on the truck and haul it home.

WOW! That would be a great idea. Except how do WE get there? Plane?
Train? Rent a tour bus? (Holy COW, that would be cool!) We do have
plenty of time to plan and save...

....I honestly think that gas is going to go down after the Gov't is done
using it as a political tool. But in case it doesn't, then we really should
think of alternative means than driving there. I wonder if Amtrac has
a car carrier/people carrier deal from somewhere we could all meet
that runs to Moab. I can check.

If the truck idea is possible I would be more than happy to drive it.I don't even have a clue how much it would cost to rent one,but I can check in to it.

We would also have to remember when planning the trip: DOT rules for hours of driving and height/weight etc. I believe you can fit 8 or 9 trucks on one trailer I'll do some investigating and reply back.

Wow this sounds great!

2010 is the year I ?m planing my trip to the f?n moon so I?ll have to see when you guys are planing on going in case there is a confect.

Man in the last few years I was lucky if I could get three of you MF?ers to travel a few hours to Rausch or Paragon and now you?re going to rent a semi and go to MOAB...

...you guys are killing me.
