    I'm SHOCKED!!! Allot of regulars are canceling. For the love of God, Why oh Why!!!!!

    Don't tell me it's because of gas prices.

    They are going down. If so, wait till two weeks before cancelling. That will give you a better idea of what they'll be the middle of June.

    I'm assuming Jason cancelled for the same reason Cristi did, Mike Moore is the only other "regular" I saw that cancelled.

    I just got an e-mail from Gary. I know he never sent in a confermation but he is cancelling. He's got a new job & can't take vacation for awhile.

    I figured the same for Jason too.


    And I didn't ask If you were going. I asked why you were Not going if you have cancelled. Morons!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I cancelled mine last week. Trust me, it wasn't an easy decision to make, but I simply can't afford the trip this year. I expanded my business early this year and everything was going great for me, but in the past couple months our work has slowed down ridiculously. I'm almost to the point of borrowing money just to pay my bills...not good.
    I was also planning a trip to Alaska with my two uncles this August and I've cancelled that as well.
    Right now I'm learning the drawbacks to being a small business owner.

    As far as cost of gas goes I could care less. When I plan a trip like this I usually don't really care what it costs. The reason I work is so that I can spend my money on stuff that I enjoy doing. Unfortunately though when you have almost no money, a trip like this is out of the question. I'm really more concerned about the potential work that I might miss if I go to Moab...missing 10 days of work (if it's there) can add up real fast.

    I guess all I can do is hope things are going better for me at this time next year.

    Cause my new daughter's well-being takes priority! When we were there 3 weeks ago we had to pile so much stuff around her head so it wouldn't flop around as much. She was so freaking hot and miserable and it was only 70 degrees. We decided it'd just be best to not put her through it again right now.

Was only 70 degrees when we were in Moab 3 weeks ago. Will probably be in the 90's in June. Daughter's well being is most important. We're not going.

    Does that help?

    Cristi and Corey are the only people who had a valid excuse to cancel. Some things are obviously more important than wheeling, though not many their first born should definitely be counted as one!


    I'm going, whatever it takes at this point. I've been working 30 hour weeks for business starting at 6am so I can get home to work on the buggy. I bought a tow rig I didn't know I'd need, as well as a flatbed, just for this friggin' trip.

    I'm like that guy on that commercial that says "and in debt up to my eyeballs!"

    Well, now you owe enough to buy a house.

    Actually, it would be more correct to say that you owe enough to buy two houses.

    Yeah, I moved down to Huntington Beach in February, and can't take any vacation for the first 6 months at my new job (that was non-negotiable - I tried). So if that's not a good enough reason for ya, then bite me.

    But yesterday, Sandy & I finished getting his pre-GSSW front suspension damage fixed, so at least he can make it now.

    What are the dates again? I've got the adventure of all adventures for a month in Europe, so that takes priority this year. I SWEAR TO GOD I'll be there next year, which (you would think) gives me some time to address some weak links in the ZJ. And to get out of the debt up to my eyeballs. From going on my Eurotrip.

    See you next year!

    Umm..Nope, don't think that qualifies. Has to be titled as a GC to be able to run in the event.

    Sadly (for me anyways) I gots no money for this trip this year. I hoped to score some late contracts to the very end but it ain't enough. I would gladly spend estimated ~1500 in gas to be there + another 800 or so on tires that I badly need but my bank statement says it ain't happening. Damnit, this is the second one in a row I'll be missing
