I'll be attending this year
does my new buggy qualify?
What is the rate at the Red Rim? If I head down, I'll probably camp out. There is a place that is free to military guys, can't think of the name right now.
I may be attending therefore I contacted Moab Redstone Inn to get some rates, and yes Monica knows all about it.
For a single bed rate is: $64.99 per night
For a double bed (2 beds) rate is: $69.99 per night
Which seems pretty reasonable considering I am paying some $148.49 for Easter Jeep Safari in March.
That being said gonna talk to the wife tonight to see if she is wanting to go as it seems like its going to be good times.
The last few years it's been 59.99 a night for a double if I remember right.
If so that will ad $50 to the bill for me.
Whats your price range? I would suggest staying either some where in down town Salt Lake City near the Gateway, or you can stay in Park City which is about 25 minutes up Parleys canyon, park city (kimball junction) is beautiful any time of the year, just dont stay anywhere right off the freeway, head more into town. I use to work at Deer Valley ski resort back in the day, they have excellent accomodations.
I dont want to HI-jack this thread, send me a PM for further info or I can give you my phone number to discuss your options.
BTW, wifey said yes to the trip, gonna be booking my room soon.
AW, how long will you be in town? Let me know if you'll be here for a little bit--we can go break some parts or kill some beers before GSW starts.
I also 2nd the recomended accomodations, however if you're dragging a trailer around you may want to find something a little bit away from down town. You could park your trailer at my place I guess which is only a couple minutes from down town.
What we can crash at Cody's place, RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be leaving the Bay Area EARLY Thurs. morning, driving as far as we can, crashing somewhere then back on the road again Friday morning to make it to Moab by the afternoon on Friday.
And yes we are currently planning on two trailers.
Glad you're finally making it but your schedule means you miss Day 1 (Friday). It's a grinder but I used to leave the Bay Area by 5am sharp and drive straight through arriving just before the Brewery closed. Or, what about leaving Wednesday after work and driving 5-6 hours and then leaving again early Thursday am?
If you guys just need a place to crash, I have a small guest bedroom in my small home in the ghetto.....and couches. You're welcome to them.
However, I'll be in Moab before you even leave so you might be out of luck. I usually start the grueling 3 hour drive sometime wednesday night after traffic dies down.
ahhhhhh, its nice to think that just by going from the 4.0 to the 5.2 I've shaved almost an hour off of my Moab commute. Life is grand.
I did not think anything really happened until Friday evening, is that incorrect??
I am not driving, so I am not the final decision on the schedule. Trust me I know all about long haul driving, done it many many times before. Hell when I lived in LA I used to drive up to SF do work at a clients site and then drive home that same day. (crazy shit when you are young I guess).

Dirk, GSW starts Friday morning and concludes after a half day run Sunday. A pretty cool Meet & Greet happens Thursday eve and then the partying begins. Partying in Moab includes varying activities from night runs to parking lot repairs to well, drinking & "storytelling." Some refer to it as "shooting the shit." Once sufficient alcohol has been consumed it transitions to lots of "bullshit." At any rate, usually a fun time is had by most.
actually, I require very little booz to spew bull shit. thats pretty much what I do. It's how my life has meaning....
ok, I'll go away for awhile..
Shit, okay thanks guys I will get with AW and the others to see what we can do.
I think we thought it started Friday afternoon/evening.
Got the rooms reserved for Friday and Saturday nights should not be tough to add Thursday night on if we can all make it there.
Oh well better to know now than closer to the time.
Awww shit, there will be plenty of places to park depending where you stay. If I end up going I'll leave Thursday after work, since I'm hauling my Jeep and not Driving we wont leave untill about 7:00 pm as I am not to keen on pulling a 20' trailer through traffic especially when it involves Point of the Mountain to Provo. . . if you live in Utah you know what i'm talkin about.
If you need ideas on where to stay send me a PM, even if you dont stay down town you can always hit it up, there are plenty of places to eat and get trashed if thats the kind of time you are lookin' for
My schedule for the last 8 out of 10 years (and this year) is to leave home at 5am on Tuesday and drive straight through to Moab.
I leave Moab for home Sunday and again drive straight through. I only use 4 vacation days but get the better part of a week to enjoy Moab each year.
Wednesday I take it really easy, Thursday do a trail and the Meet & Greet, and Friday-Sunday is GSW.
