GJ is about 90 miles or an hour-and-a-half from Moab OK I give, how did you do the pool at Glenwood with three people for ~$50. I think last time three of us went it was closer to $70.
Anyway back to the subject. Yes it got to be expensive... now the room costs seem minor. But still, it is legal fun and the joy people get wheeling in Moab is priceless, to coin a phrase.
You're probably right - I'm sure I'm blocking out the horrendous expense of taking a family to Glenwood
Might have been closer to $70 - Tricia will be 4 in January, so don't know if 3 and under are cheaper.
I'll be honest though, I thought about pulling the popup camper out there, but I sure liked having a hot shower when I got off the trail, and a comfy solid bed at night. Can't think of any better people to wheel with either.
i voted May, out of school and i can just make a family trip of it.
I decided to tie the score at 14. I am out of school, and if were a little cooler that would be more enjoyable for me. I am going either way, so I might as well be selfish and pick the "cooler" dates. Plus people might be able to take off 4 days from work, and get a longer vacation out of it. I might do that. More time to fix my stuff before I leave.
I have a family reunion on May 24&25 and am the best man at a wedding on May 31 so I am hoping for the June dates. I missed last year due to recovering from a nasty crotch rocket accident and the year before that my jeep tranny took a s--t.
Considering that $900 is damn near 1/2 a months pay, no thanks!
It costs me about $400 in fuel, then food is maybe $50-75 and camping is like $20 a night.
Hotels are fine and dandy, but camping is 1/2 the fun of wheeling. Plus I go to Moab to forget about the real world. I don't need a TV, interweb, phone, etc.
I'd love to go this year, but I am 95% sure that I won't be able to afford it since I AM going back to Alaska come hell or high water.
Precisely why I save for this trip throughout the year. There's something to be said about having a nice cool bed and a hot shower after a day of wheeling. Personally, I'm good with both weekends. Wife wasn't too keen on the May date since it's close to Memorial Day, but I couldn't care less about traveling 2 weekends in a row
