Moab Black Sheep Week -March 31-April 5, 2013

[f5moab]

You guy's are a bunch of puds and would not last a week in some of the places I have been.

I ate a lot of strange things in 'Nam, Thailand and some other places we were never in, but never Duck Anus. :giggle:

 

[ajk150]

I've eaten alot of strange things in Philadelphia's very own Chinatown. I swear half that stuff isn't even legal, the other half you don't really know what your eating. They say chicken, but it could be rodent cause all you know is it doesn't taste like chicken.

 

[06 H3]

I goofed and asked Sunday to Sunday off, I will see if I can get the saturday off so I can be there by saturday night. If I do not get that day off I should be be there by sunday mid day and will miss the sunday run. Then I will run fridays trails and leave early friday morning around 3am and meet my parents in flagstaff to check out NAU and then hangout there for a day and head back home saturday late afternoon.

 

[06 H3]

OR I have catastrophic failure and need to adjust the entire plan LOL.

This is still tentative and will see if I even get squeaky ready in time.

 

[jakesz28]

That's what I'm worried about. Breaking something and having to stay a little longer, if I plan on driving the h3 home. I took march 28 thru April 10th off.told work I should be back then but if not I will waiting on parts.

 

[3Hummers]

Not likely to break anything that bad and there are worse places to be stuck.

 

[alrock]

It's always good to be cautious with time but between Fedex, Salt Lake City, Grand Junction and Denver you should be able to get anything you need within a very reasonable time.

 

[3Hummers]

We have never had anyone stranded in Moab. We have always managed to get any broken rigs road worthy by weeks end. A couple of us will be trailering our rigs in. If I lost anything like a T case or tranny I would just winch mine up on the trailer and repair it at home, even though we have replaced Tcases and trannys at Neo's house in the past.

 

[Moab Utah]

Welcome Everyone! You will be in Moab next Month, end of the Month!
Travel safely getting here.

 

[jakesz28]

Other then the possible front dif I don't think I will have any problems. Plus I could pull some parts and drive home without fixing that. Just every one here at work was giving me a hard time about driving out there. So I threw that last part out during a meeting for there entertainment.

 

[06 H3]

I wouldn't worry about it. Good spotting will keep your rig intact if you listen.

usually everyone makes it home but if a problem occurs the group is more then willing to help

 

[3Hummers]

Since Moab is essentially in the middle of nowhere we all drive in and out and have for years. This will be my first time trailering to Moab. My normal trip is about 800 miles each way.. We routinely have people drive from CA, AZ, TX, FL, the Carolinas, ID, MI etc and everyone has driven in and out. Don't think there is much risk of you not being able to drive home at week's end.

 

[f5moab]

hey Moab Utah, you never answer my question about it being illegal to pickup firewood outside of moab?

 

[abearden]

Vacation request is in. I'll be calling Cliffhanger for a rental after lunch. Apple Pie Moonshine is cooling off in the fridge.

I CAN'T WAIT!

 

[abearden]

And reservation made with Cliffhanger.

Guess I should update my table status. Was going to roll all week, but I'm going to visit some family in TX while I'm east in the Rockies.

[LagunaH1]

Too bad you can't stay all week but I promise you you'll love Moab for the days you're there

Maybe add your ham call sign?

When are you heading out to Moab from socal?

 

[3Hummers]

Looks like lots of other updates need to be made to the attendee list. Hirola, AJ, Bebe, Rick will be there, JJ will be coming with me and there are probably other updates that need to be made.

 

[Green 1]

GhostRider H1 and his guest need to be added

 

[abearden]

I could, but I won't be in my truck so it just isn't the same. Once the truck is operational and trustworthy I'll make a week of it.

Not big on publishing the call in some public venues.

Don't know yet. Probably early Saturday morning. If there's a caravan I'll join that, otherwise I won't have a strict schedule. Just know I'm packing the car Friday night, picking up the Jeep Sunday morning, and dropping the Jeep off Tuesday night. Everything else is a go-with-the-flow free-for-all.

 

[alrock]

Neo, what supplies do we need to bring? TP, plates, cups, 18 year old Scotch, cat treats, napkins, paper towels, paper plates, plastic utensils, air freshener, gear oil, firewood, napalm, ammo (if we can find any)?

 

[f5moab]

Did you know that approx. 70% of the people hit with Napalm in 'Nam had 5th degree burns (burned skin off to the bone).
Ok, back to the subject at hand....

NEO has that new .22 AR...

Anyone bringing any rifles?

 

[LagunaH1]

I'm pondering what I want to do... I'm torn beteeen doing the usual trip out: leave the OC at 2am and arrive in Moab around 5, or spend a night somewhere and drive a bit less per day for 2 days but leave friday

 

[3Hummers]

If I left from CA I was going to Friday and spend the night somewhere. I stayed in Cedar Springs? Last trip out Friday night and drove into Moab earlier than usual on Saturday. It worked really well for me.
