    LOL Dave, ya beat me to it. I tried coming there for 4 years before finally making this past year. EVERY year, right before the event, something would either break or blow up on my jeep, or I was a poor college student and couldn't afford it, or couldn't get off work or whatever. But now i'm out of school and run my own business, so I can basically take off whenever I want and all the money I spend on my jeep is a tax writeoff...not to mention I have a tow rig now also...so there's really not much to keep me from making it anymore.
    But the wait was sure worthwhile...this year's moab trip was everything I expected it to be and more, and i'll certainly give it all I've got to be there again in '06!

    Now that I have read the thread.

    It took me 11.5 hours from Los Angeles to Moab with stops for gas in Vegas and fast food.

    Yes, I am interested in a convoy.

    I will camp in a motel. I have stayed in the Motel 8 and the Big Horn Lodge. The Big Horn is not as nice but has a small refrig and is near the information center in "Downtown Moab".

    I may arrive on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday afternoon.

    The ZJ will go in for the next round of build ups in February.

    In the mean time there is fresh powder that needs body packing in Utah and Colorado. [We all know that body packed snow is much better than machine packed snow.]

    I'll be there, this is my first GSW so Im not too sure on how things work while there but I think it would be kind of cool to get all the mallcarwlin members together and get a picture with their rigs. Just an idea

    I believe Sandy is already planning a convoy from LA. I may even come down from Nor Cal and meet up with him and whomever in Palmdale then head out.

    There is a slight chance I may need to fly out there and grab a ride with someone (my wife is stressing out about the bills right now, you know how it is sometimes).

    We usually get in touch with them a couple months before hand and set up group rates.

    how long/miles will it take everyone to get there? For me 14 hours and 961 miles. Gotta fill up a total of 8 times there and back. Truck get 300 miles to a tank which is a 31 gallon tank, so 4 up 4 back which will be $695 in diesel at $2.80 a gallon. Damn that suck but it will be worth it in the end. Im pumped!!

    I made it once from Moab to my parent's old place in under 5 hours and one tank of gas. It's 363 miles from the RedStone to my parents' old place. I coasted in on fumes, but I made it! I've tried to duplicate that a couple times, and usually stop on Junction JUST to make sure I make it there.
