Met a few of you guys at the Black Hole deal. I too am available that weekend, would be a long drive back for me on Mon tho--- it's at the end of a 10 day vacation for me. Can't decide between Utah and Death Valley---
Any more info on where and what canyons in Moab area???

[rockgremlin]

I'm totally jealous. I won't be able to make it this time round.

I am taking a week off in early September to knock off a bunch of canyons in Zion or possibly Cedar Mesa...I want you fools to join me.

Just checked..... and it is.... thanks for the heads up.

So, Anyone else want to toss out some options? other dates? or other locations?

Weekend of March 1&2 is the AutoRama (hot rod show) and March 8&9 is my daughters birthday so those are out for me.

If you haven't ever been to moab during the car show you should go. It is amazing to see all the cars and activities going on in town. Plus most of the people are there for the car show and not out playing in the rocks. So you get the best of both worlds. Entertainment in town and not to many people out playing. Stay away during the safari, that has just gotten out of control. To many kids for spring break etc. But to get rooms for car show have to reserve a year in advance.

Yeah... they always schedule it the same weekend as the Sprint Car opener in SLC..... damn them

[moab mark]

I realize most peoples jobs are diffucult to play during the week but what about a tuesday wednesday? Or two other days. Not nearly as crowded in town during the week.

There is always some festival, safari or event in Moab. I say we go anyway.

I rember once I was climbing the Tombstone in Kane Springs during the jeep safari one year, they totally screwed up my chi with the loud, echoing exhaust!

I am new to this forum and canyoneering already heading out to Utah the last week of March plan is to visit capital reef and maybe try a few canyons in Robbers Roost. I maybe interested in this gathering if it happens to take place during that period.

Any objections/problems/monster trucks to stop us on the last weekend of march?

The safari is pretty nuts, it will be hard to get a campsite and/or hotel room. Let alone a seat at a resturant. I am working the weekend of the 15th so no Shaggy for ya'all.

[Alex]

Should we start a roster like we did last time?

I am in whatever weekend everyone decides on.

That is Easter weekend I think.

I am in for the trip now that we can't go on 15 & 16, pending approval from my wife...

[Iceaxe]

I'm thinking same weekend but different destination?

Maybe North Wash?

Yeah I know..... I'll have to rough it.

[Alex]

... I'll have to rough it.

You mean the hotel room will have a regular TV and not cable? I feel for you man......wanna split a room again?

[Jaxx]

crud, I'm out again.

[Iceaxe]

Where do we have to hold this shindig to get Tanya to come???

[Alex]

Zion I suppose, so what you are saying you want to share a room with Tanya and I? Dude, you are a perv!
