    The brontosaurus lot is a good place to meet...I'll meet up with you guys wherever if that's alright. I'm off work at 12:30

    UH, not sure if my little jeep can do Spike (Dave/Pam - thoughts?), so if I can't run in it, is there someone I can ride shotgun with? I'll take pictures

    Until you get some armor on the corners of your rear bumper, I'd suggest a little help on the Crack. If it were my WK, I'd take the tire.

    It is a stupid person who does not listen to advise from people who have been there!!!

    We will give it a try and if not, it is the tire. Just want to figure out what it would take next time while we are there.

    Look forward to trip,
    Will

    Josh and I aren't exactly sure of what time we'll be taking off, so it might be best for us to not really have a set time to be somewhere. We PLAN on being on the road around 2, but really aren't sure at this point.

    If we end up not meeting up with any of you on the road, let's plan on meeting at Shitty Market (same spot as GSW, south side of the building) at 8:00 with plans to leave at 8:30?

    I think we've all got each other's cell #'s so we should be good. We'll be on Ch 10 on the drive out there unless there's too much other traffic on 10. Also, Tom, I have your handheld CB for some reason. I can't remember who it was, but someone at GSW gave it to me to give back to you.

    We'll also plan on dinner Friday night at the Brewery, and then a 7:00AM meet with a 7:30 departure for Spike on Saturday. Sunday is still up in the air, and we'll probably sleep in a bit, especially if we just go to Area BFE.

    NIGHT RUNS. I'm thinking a night run, maybe Cliffhanger one night. Cliffhanger and Spider are the only trails I feel comfortable enough doing in the dark based on route finding.

    Stacey, we'll have to have a gathering of minds on Friday to see what we think about you making spike. There are a lot of large ledges and then there's the crack. John has done spike and lead it often but normallly with ZJ's and we normally recommend 32's and a locker. We'll see how things go on Friday. If not, we'll figure out what to do from there.

    I'm down with a night run as long as it doesn't get too cold at night. And I'd be up for Spider. Cliffhanger scares me a bit at night.

    Would be great to have a shotgun to give me moral support .

    Whatever you guys decide is fine with me. If we do bfe then I will let you pick the trail (spacely) and I will run it with you on Sun if they pick harder trails.

    OH...cool deal! I guess we'll see what everyone thinks Friday about my rig's capability to do Spike. And its totally up to you if you want to do an easier trail with me or run the harder one with everyone else. I figured if everyone was doing the harder trail, I could go hiking or something

    This works out great!! I just want to run spike and I am set. Have no need to run harder one!!

    No need to hike if you want to get out and 4wheel. I will run any trail you pick on Sun. I would just like to c moab as I have never been.

    Look forward to trip,
    Will

    8am meeting Friday morning at City Market sounds good. Might see each other on the road on the drive out Thursday, might not.
    Dinner Friday at the Brewery sounds good too.

    All looks good to me. Dave, since you don't know when you're out of here, I'll probably just take off on my own - probably between 1 and 2 pm.

    Fixed!

    At least it'll be better than my first time towing out to Moab. It wasn't my truck, wasn't my trailer, my Heep on the trailer, couldn't get the trailer brakes to work, oh yeah, and there 6" of snow on the roads!
