Are the majority of people staying at the Redstone Inn?
Gotta figure out so I can make some reservations.
GSW will also be my Honeymoon.:)

I can't even think of a witty reply to that so I'll just let her kick your arse around Moab;).

I guess the Redstone has a group rate or something for GSW? Yes/no?

Yes. Tell them you are with GSW to get the rate. It's not the Ritz, but nothing in Moab is. I stay there so I can "walk" back from the Brewery.

lol sweet. probably the WORST time to go to moab to see what it's about. EJS is a cluster fuck. too many people to do any wheelin, too many assholes running around. it's fun to go party, but not fun for anything else.

if you actually want to do some wheelin in Moab go the week before or week after--it at least slows down a bit then.

Nate, where are you looking at camping? I'm considering going straight for the campout to save $$ and because I love camping.

nate
02-18-2006, 12:10 PM
There's a KOA campground around Moab somewhere. I'm staying there for EJS. It's ~$22 a night for a tent site. A bit on the spendy side IMO, but you can have more than 1 tent on 1 site, so get 2-3 guys on 1 site and it's quite cheap.

They have cabins as well, but they were all reserved when I called them. Those are ~$40 a night.

They have a big parking lot to park trucks/trailers, etc I guess too.

The hotel is nice but I'm not rich and I can save some money by camping. Afterall it's just a place to sleep.

Kris, we'll be leaving Edmonton on Monday morning. Was thinking about staying in Pincher Creek Monday night and then across the border and into Idaho on Tuesday. Maybe you and me can meet up with Nate and convoy from there.
Sound like a plan we can put together?

That would work out. I'm only leaving Thursday morning though. I took Wednesday to Wednesday off from work and I will need that Wednesday to pack everything up I think. GSW only starts Fri morning right?

bburgi
02-18-2006, 08:40 PM
If anyone is going to camp out, I'm interested in possibly sharing a campsite with 2 or 3 guys. It'll be my wife and I in our tent.

ya i'm goign to be leaving tuesday night after work. drive for 6 hours. then drive for another 12-14 the next day and if i'm not in moab by then then i'l sleep and arive thursday morning. i'm gonn amap this shit out. i think this plan is doable.

nate
02-18-2006, 11:24 PM
If I have time to pack up before my leave starts I could probably leave Wednesday morning. I work 3PM-12AM though, so I wouldn't want to leave before 7-8AM so I can get some sleep.

Though... since it's not starting until Friday, I don't see a point in leaving early.

If you guys need to stop and rest in Idaho, let me know. I have extra room in the house and there's room to park trucks, trailers, etc.

SLO MO
02-19-2006, 03:48 PM
I was thinking if we stayed in Idaho Wed. Might have to drive a little bit Wednesday and stop somewhere in between. I'd like to get to Moab say maybe noonish on Thursday. I still have to map it all out, Moab might be alot further than I think. I really don't feel like driving longer than 10 hrs at a time. Nate, we may just take you up on your offer.:)

Brett

02-19-2006, 03:54 PM
My plan if I don't run with Sandy and the So. Cal. guys is to be in Moab no later than noon Thurs. as well.

I still need to decide exactly what I am doing. All depends on if my Jeep is ready or not.

nate
02-19-2006, 11:22 PM
From Mountain Home, ID to Moab, UT it's 540 miles, about a 9hr drive I would say.

I have room here at the house for people to sleep, just let me know beforehand. It's not a huge house or very fancy but it's a place to sleep and it's free!

I have some room to park, though space is a bit limited.

More time on your back in the driveway and less time on the Forums will improve your chances to get your rig to Moab. :D

Remember, you don't need a bullet-proof tank to run GSW as long as you let traction and momentum crawl the rocks rather than power and speed.

I don't think very many Grands had after-market axles or tires larger than 31" until the 3rd GSW -- and even then it was only one or two ZJs that had after-market axles and 33"s. As I think about it, almost all of the stock setups did just fine. EDIT: CLEARANCE IS IMPORTANT.

Stop thinking "if" you get your Jeep ready and just get it as ready as you can with what you have and drive the trails that match up with your vehicle capabilities and experience level. You will have a much better time being the pilot in the cokpit rather than being the navigator. :best: At the end of the day many people get together for food, spirits and a lot of bullshitting. It really doesn't matter what level trails you do during the day to have fun.

I should be sharing a room with Kris, Red Stone Inn has about the best rates around for the quality of the room. I'm just excited by the time GSW rolls around I'll be LEGAL to go to the Moab Brewery!

If you were actually trying to get a reservation there I would give them a call at least. When I made mine 2 months ago they said "We only have two rooms left" so I have a hard time believing that they were that booked and only booked two more in two months...

Now if you're just going to mooch off of someone elses room, let the mooching commence:D

From the second posting on this tread:

I am staying at the Redstone Inn. Your new wife can stay with me and you can sleep in your car. :D
Slo-Mo never said that his new wife wouldn't stay with me ... so I guess that the ball is still in play.

What do you think?

Maybe Dirk, Kris, Matt, and I can split the room. I don't mind sleeping on the floor, someone else can have the bed. I bet Dirk and Matt will want to snuggle. :smt042

if you guys are going to camp, just up the hill by lions back is the Sand Flats rec area with much nicer camp sights, easily accessibly, and 5 minutes from town. I think it's 6 bucks a night or something like that. Trailer accessible too.

If you want something more primitve I can give you directions/show you some nice spots outside of town.

Update for those taking my room: I'm going to call and have them transfer it to Overkill's name today or tomorrow, should be good to go.
Decided not to get the room since I'm just staying with the girlfriend, and the campground we stayed at last time was pretty nice, pool, etc.
I prefer the open air anyway :weedman:
