**Grand Slam West Dates Set for 2008**

[AprilzWarrior]

you know, I agree, other than 100* temps at 8 a.m. aren't that great for camping. I'll take my shower and cook my breakfast.

Ummmm yeah.... Im driving way to far to camp. F that.

Pack Creek is the place that is free to military. Dunno, just seems dumb to spend $65-100 on hotel when you can get a cabin for $45, or tent site for $20. I'm going to Moab to wheel, not watch TV, play on the computer, etc.

I stayed there last year. I liked it but there were only three sites that had good shade. Where did you see it was free to military? My dad is going and is retired Navy.

EDIT. I just read it on the site.

Newbie here on Mallcrawlin. Can I go? I don't know you guys, but would be very interested in tagging along, if you don't mind. I've only been up to Moab once, and that was last year in a rental car while the Jeep sat home. Jeep is in the shop now getting complete motor rebuild, and D30 HP front axle installed (after we get the engine done). It's quite a project, but I hope to have it done in a couple months. Would be an excellent 'shake down' trip. Just promise me I won't get any scratches! I hate scratches! (well, maybe a few).

You have to register and mail in your registration to be in the confirm status, so don't delay. Also, I would do a shake down run closer to home, then come have fun in Moab.

Ok...I signed up. I hear you guys can be a little snobbish over here......I just can't IMAGINE that! Seem like a nice group of fellers to me!

I hope to have 1-2 thousand miles on the new motor before then, and some off road time to make sure nothing breaks. A 500 trip to Moab ought to break in the motor pretty well.

Snobbish we are not! Impatient, occasionally.

I've been to Moab in April and in October, so not sure how it is in May.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the $$ I would do the condo or hotel thing, but the fuel is already making it an expensive trip.

Well, I live in Arizona, and I'm thinking it should be rather nice up there at that time...since it is probably about 10 or 15 degrees cooler than home and it should cool off at night also (something it doesn't do here). I suppose you Colorado and California guys will think it's hot or something.

[AgitatedPancake]

yeah I'm from California I don't know anything but 75* and clear skies

[Nakidgun]

75! Have to get out the sweaters and mittens!

I would guess it to be about low to mid 90s during the day, maybe 70s at night? At that time of year in Phoenix, 90 degrees means we're having a cold wave!

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Last year was 100's (103 was the lowest I think and 109 was the highest)...year before that was 80's.

[nate]

I can deal with that. It gets up to 110-115* here in the summers anyhow.

[fpkites]

Sometimes I love being in CO - it hits 100 in the city, I just head to the hills and it drops 10-15 degrees

Ryan's right - hotter than shit in Moab last year. Not that he was affected though...damn dub with working AC

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Hey the AC was struggling, I think it was upper 70's inside

[Colorado 5.9]

Last year was not that bad compared to 02. Now that was hot!

[BigDaveZJ]

Last year was getting pretty close to 02, but 02 was definitely the worst!

[downtowncb]

Do any of you guys with 5.9s have problems overheating at this?

[Matt]

I tent camped last year and it wasn't all that great. 90's at night and a sandy campsite makes the KOA teh suck.

But I'll probably be camping again this year.

After 7 GSW's not so far. I've had a couple of problems in bewteen the last couple of GSW's do to rad poblems. I hope that's solved now with the new aluminum rad I have in now.

Good to hear, thanks. If all goes well I will be acquiring one soon. Now I just have to convince a couple of friends that a 13 hour drive is worth it for one weekend.

[Double D ZJ]

I am new here and just discovered about this, If I showed up would I get turned away?

Register now! Dave or Tom will advise you on whether to mail or bring your completed waiver----maybe do both.
