    A few of us are planning on heading out Wednesday afternoon sometime. We'll be ready to roll around 1:00 I think. Krash and Putz will be driving in from IL and should be ready to go about the same time if their plans go as planned. Anybody else from CO heading out Wednesday? Or coming through Denver from somewhere else on Wednesday?

    Where everyone is coming from will determine a meeting place, but probably somewhere along 470 or up 70 a little bit.

    Our goal is to be in Moab by 7 or 8 so we're able to get the trailers unloaded and grab something to eat before it gets too late.

    Currently I plan to leave ~4pm Thursday. I guess I'll be part of the second wave.

    Clan Karlin intends to be on the road around noon on Thursday. Maybe this year I won't be scrambling to get checked in to the hotel and then getting to the M&G

    I'll be leaving Wednesday too, but not sure on the time yet. In an ideal world around the same time you are planning. Will keep you updated as departure time gets closer.

    I can try to leave earlier if we want to try to do a thrusday caravan.

    How fast does everyone drive? I start to get some vibes ~70mph so I try to below that. I might pull my front driveshaft for the trip down to see if that cures it (and maybe better milage).

    We generally drive 5 over - I'm thinking about pulling the front shaft too - not a bad idea.

    My vibes are at 60-ish, and end around 70

    I may be in. I was planning on leaving Wednesday at noon, so 1ish on the highway would be cool. I am camping so I wanted to be there in the daylight, but I can setup in the dark.

    I doubt you guys want me to join the caravan. The mighty 4.0 probably wouldn't be up to keeping the staggering speeds you guys blaze at (a.k.a. the speed limit).

    A strap off my trailer has always been the standing offer for any 4.0 guys!

    We may be able to leave a bit before 1pm. it will depend on the guys though because my sorry ass will be taking a securities exam that Wednesday morning. i'll be done no later than 11:30 (since it is a timed test at 3.5 hrs and starts at 8am). More than likely, I'll be done prior to that so I'm hoping we can get out of town by noon.

    I think our determining factor will be when Ron and Putz manage to show up.

    Hey now, I represent that comment!!! Uh I mean....yeah, whatever. Actually this year Ron and I should not be the determining factor!!! We have to wait for Emily to get out of work on Tuesday. So, we'll definitely be a little tired, but at least this time it won't be our fault.

    disclaimer: even though Em has to work and we're waiting for her, it's still her fault if we're late because if she didn't tell us we had extra time (i.e. 5pm), we'd say we were going to leave at 6am and actually leave sometime around 1 or 2pm (like last year)...........plus, isn't it about time it's someone else's fault besides ours????

    There are three of you....I don't care what time you get in, I'll drag your sorry asses out of bed. The three of you can rotate driving. One sleeps, one drives, one keeps the driver awake. . .

    By the time I get home from my exam, y'all best be ready to roll.

    I'd love to get the wife and kiddo (emphasis on the kiddo) going that early, but I think snowballs have a better chance in hell.

    What's wrong with Arches by moonlight?

    I'm in the 11-ish to 12-ish club too. I figure I'll be up at 7ish and start packing.

    Lets rally at the parking lot at I-70 and the Morrison exit (259). I think this is called the T-rex parking lot. Say 11:30am?
