ON BIGTIME! ..........although, I did have to put in for vacation on the friday and saturday. Everyone I work with told me they didnt have any plans for that weekend SO I am going to assume that I am getting it off.
So. anyway, I'm still planning on being there. :2thumbs:
me too me too!!!
My local bikeclub wants to do a biketrip - to St. George the same weekend. I told them they could come to Moab with us :mrgreen: I havent heard back yet but its not even a debatable issue... I am going to Moab with y'all!
Not sure here. I'm already taking a lot of time off in May to drive my mom around the wild west :ne_nau:
I've tentatively scheduled a week. Get there Wednesday or Thursday and leave Tuesday or Wednesday. :2thumbs:
I will probably be driving a new used car too. :2thumbs: Complete with tent camping gear sufficient for two days at a time in a location without running water or much shade.
Just tell me where to occupy space if the bottom of Hunter Canyon isn't good enough. I figure we might still be able to reserve a group site in Sand Flats to save some potential hassle.
So who's in charge of this? :ne_nau:
I'm still planning on it, but might have to bring my son...
Can't volunteer to be in charge though. Too much on my plate right now.
I will be brining both my kids. I wouldn't go camping with out them. Well maybe... but not this time.
Well, I'm still firming up plans for my trip down, but it's looking like I can still arrive sometime Friday, and leave either late Saturday or very very early Sunday. Keeping my eye on this thread... :2thumbs:
Really? Ok, cool. I'll talk to Josh and Cody and encourage them to come and bring their kids too (wives are cool too Cody). I'll look into some cool kid-friendly hikes and maybe bring a piQuote:

I thought you were the one in charge. :haha:Quote:

Until somebody redirects me to an alternate destination, I'm packing as though I'm headed up Kane Creek Road.
It's a group effort hun! :lol8: Being that I have a new car TODAY (yay for me) and I've already taken the time off work.......I am not backing out. I just don't go to Moab enough to know where, what, etc......so that's why I need suggestions. :2thumbs: Or if it's easier, why don't we just all plan that weekend to BE in Moab, doesn't matter where we all camp, but have some group hikes/bikes/dinners lined up? Feedback ya'll. :popcorn:
If you plan it they will comeQuote:

:cool2: My vacation was approved today - I am OFFICIALLY IN!! I am SO stoked! I've been pouring over campsites all over the Moab area and I keep coming back to the Sand Flats area, primarily because of it's proximity to town but at the same time having a remote potential.
The following is from one of the SandFlats websites:
http://www.discovermoab.com/sandflats.htm
Yes, Sand Flats does take reservations for 2 group sites- E-1 and the Radio Tower site. There is a maximum of 16 people in site E-1 and a maximum of 20 people at the Radio Tower site. The maximum number of vehicles for group campsite E-1 is 6 and for the Radio Tower 7. All vehicles and trailers must fit within assigned parking areas.
The reservation fee is $10. The camping fee is $50.00 per night for site E-1. The Radio Tower site fee is $60.00 per night. The $10 reservation fee and camping fees are non-refundable.
The trip leader must pay the reservation fee and first night
Cool! I say we do it! And get a group site reserved. I'm willing to cough it all up and give a cc# as long as you guys all bring me lots of beer. :lol8: I have the whole day off on Thursday so I am heading down asap. :2thumbs:
I'll call first thing a.m.
Update- I called the the reservation line this morning and left a message. Waiting on a call back. :2thumbs:

I'd love for anyone that is interested in going to let me know if they'd like to camp in the group camp site so I know whether or not to grab one or both of the sites IF available. Cross your fingers they are available..........k still waiting. :mrgreen:Quote:

I think I know where the radio tower is also and if I remember correctly, it's not the BEST campground up there. I think the E1 is going to be more desirable. However, to accommodate a group, are we willing to sacrifice a bit? Or not? Just let me know before I reserve this as it's not refundable and will go on my credit card.
The map below is the best I could find. I am assuming the E is where E1 would be for a group camp and if I remember correctly, this is a more desirable camping area. Once again, I am still waiting to hear back. I talked to another person at the BLM phone # this morning and they said that I might have called too late (8:50am) but if I left a message they are good about getting back the next morning.
