Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

I am out for sure on this trip! :rant:

Since the washing machine flooded the house, the only thing I'm doing for the next two weeks is more demo/ remodel for me.

Sorry guys/ gals.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Don't you have insurance?

My neighbor's fridge filter froze a couple weeks ago and flooded their main floor and their insurance is fixing everything for them.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

That sounds awesome. I can't get out of town until Sunday though

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Yep. The upgrades and time frame is what's holding us up. I wouldn't get to Moab until Thursday. It;s not worth it to me to only have two days there.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Sorry to hear that Tim. I was looking forward to meeting you and Kira. Perhaps we can make a trip up to see you some time and run the Great Divide. Good luck with your uh reconstruction.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Talked with Bebe today!!! Very cool chic by the way.

I am going to leave 1am Saturday morning and drive straight to Neo's casa to drop off some gear. Then I will be driving the White Rim Trail to catch up to Bebe and crew. If there is anyone else that would like to roll with me please let me know. We will arrive in in Moab around 4-5pm by my calculations and we will hit the trail as soon as possible. We should have plenty of water for anyone that comes.
Should be interesting, I am glad I have DVD player in the headrests for the kids.

I don't think I would sleep that night anyway.:jump:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Upgrades...sounds like there's a bright side to the story! :beerchug:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

That sucks. I understand about having to get your house fixed though. Good Luck.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Sorry to hear about the flooding :mad: , seemed like that was what the general topic thread sounded like.

We'll miss seeing you and Kira, hope it all works out in the end.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Corey,
You're a good wheeler and all. BUT.....you REALLY need to work on your pike recognition skills.



I am tuning the MTB tomorrow. I got my new CB installed yesterday. I spent two days reading about grounding, multimeters, SWRs. etc. I am now more of an expert than Tower. :D New Antenna kicks butt too (Wilson FGT 4). I will no longer be the whisper dude on the CB. :excited: I also put a new one in my Burb too. Oh wait, I forgot, that cost me some money so I can't go to Moab. :rolleyes: (hint: There is a pike recognition drill in this paragraph).

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

:( DANG! Sorry to hear you can't make it.


Please send Kira.:jump:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

$hit that sucks man :( :(

good luck on the repairs

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

That sucks Tim, hope the damage wasn't too extensive. I take it you washing machine is on an upper floor.... we install drain pans under main floor and higher washing machines for that reason, far cheaper in the long run.

Looks like no White Rim for me this trip, I'll be arriving mid-afternoon Sat and will be pretty wiped out from drive from Michigan. Who's doing what on Sunday, or is that still to be determined??? First time out there some Cris B and I will be looking for recommendation and experienced drivers to show us the ropes, if you don't mind. Most of our wheelin' in Mich is on sand and mud, terrain can get steep and opff camber but still mostly dirt.

No basements in our subdivision = mainfloor.:(

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

NO WAY! She's staying back and I'm going! Great idea Rox.

Thanks. :shhh:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

That sucks!! :( I was looking forward to meeting both of you.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Cris mentioned Klondike Bluffs for Sunday. That would be an easy trail. It has a mix of sand/dirt/slickrock. And you can take it into Arches NP and do some sightseeing.

Or run Fins & Things. It's a great warm up trail, not too difficult, and shouldn't require any spotting. And Baby Lion's Back and Potato Salad Hill are nearby to play around on. :D

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

so looks like monday will be the first day everyone can wheel together . my vote is for 7 mile , fun run with cool stuff and bypasses on the drops etc. we gotta all run hells one day , who's up for the gate and esculater , those can add a couple hours to hells run .

im up for Klondike on sunday or fins , a group will be out on white rim sat & sun

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

we will get you steep and off-camber but you will have traction like never before :jump: :jump: :beerchug:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

sewie , you runnin the rim with beebs , etc. ????????????

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Could we do 7 mile Tuesday???? or later in week??? Pleaseeee :) :)
We won't get to town until the afternoon Monday.

I would like to do it with the lockers on our lil crack this time :beerchug:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Depends if I have my truck ready to roll by tomorrow night. If not, I won't be there until Sat. afternoon at the earliest.

Aren't you going on White Rim. :confused:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

no man , atleast not the first run ,with everyone coming in sat and sun i will stick around the pad. i may try and do one night out there with old hiker on wed, nav can only get a day or 2 off and she wants to spend it with Beebs , probably tue. i may just wait till F5 is here for his photos , and tag along with him . you know how moab is ;) just do whatever you feel like whenever :D

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

no problem west , you have done klondike with us before and its no big deal so maybe we can do that before you get here .:jump:

are you up for hells again ????

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

correction : tue will be the first day , we got alot of people overlaping each other on arrivals and departures . you still gotta leave wed beebs ???

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Don't care, don't care, don't care. Playin' it by ear. Day to day.

Just want a fawkin vacation already. This week has SUCKED and I've been sick as a dog. I need me some desert and now.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

I am SOOOOO ready for this, rack finished, compressor secured, still need to pack. Look forward to meeting everyone. :beerchug:

Been way to long since last real vacation.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

We have stuff scattered throughout the living room ready to be loaded into the trucks. 3 more days and we are on our way.:dancingbanana: :excited: :beerchug:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Got my Sirius tuner installed tonight. :clapping: That should make the 15 hour drive a little better. :D

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Hmmm, not sure what I'm gonna do now. I'm not really that interested in doing WR, was just following the crowd. I'll just figure it out when I get there. ;)

I guess I should start packing. :jump:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

I know it is always a game time decision, but I would like to run BTR if anyone is interested. Preferably Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday I would like to do something scenic (Flat Iron, Hells, Fins, whatever just something easy)

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

Talked with Nav and Neo earlier this evening, can't wait to see everyone in Moab:beerchug:

Hells would be good again :iagree:

Let's see: wife, boy, stuff for Neo and Nav, cb and H3 - ready to roll out of here Thursday night :clapping:


Oh yeah and a bunch of other stuff in the hallway and downstairs :giggling:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

I'm signing off for now, I'll check the forum as we travel and in Colorado.
Moab - Monday afternoon!!!


Everyone have a safe trip!!! :grouphug: :beerchug: :beerchug:

Yep:(

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

I'm leaving Thursday noonish, rolling into Moab Sat eve, the great American road trip is ON!

I'm up for whatever, Klondike would be a nice scenic run for Sunday, but Fins & Things looks like a great time, too. Guess we'll just decide that morning? Neo, PM me your address so I know where to find your campground? Then again, Google Earth shows your street as pretty short & uncrowded, may be able to find you. Should we all meet up at the Gonzo Sun am around 9? Amend if you like, I'm just throwing it out there.

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
 

get to it man :dancingbanana: :giggling:

Re: MOAB 2K7 - FINAL COUNTDOWN
