ish. May not end up being a problem. Been talking to a couple of guys here, and there's a good chance they are going to join for the first half.

Leave MSP thursday evening, drive through the night in shifts, arrive friday afternoon. Camp friday night, then go backcountry hiking / camping saturday morning in arches or canyonlands through sunday evening. Wouldnt bring coop for that.

Started the list of fixes and upgrades I need to do start doing :)

Thanks for the heads up!

Don't think I'll be able to make it, going to be short on cash to fix the Willy and pay for a trailer and everything else.

So i will ask now if anyone has an open seat ? If not no biggie.I will split gas and lodging.

I remember last time when we ran into those mountain bikers at the climb I did backwards. One of them told me I was nuts.

I looked down at his bloody knee/leg and said "dude, YOUR nuts. I'm sitting INSIDE". Taking a spill on sandstone gives new meaning to the phrase "road rash".

Ryan, looks like I'm not getting as much back with my taxes as I thought, so i guess I won't be needing the seat after all, sorry.

I have to wait until mid April before I can commit. Need to see if Beth's job on Hanscom is going to go away or not.

What date do we expect to arrive at and depart Moab? I'm going to be proactive in case everything is OK with Beth's job and reserve a cabin. As of right now, if everything goes right, we are going to ship the Jeep and fly out since she will be able to take less vacation off.
