Moab Sep 25 - 28
 
I will be at Moab this week. I want to do some scenic driving in the area and was looking to see if anyone is interested.

Since I will be on the Rubicon, this will be difficult to do. After the Rubi I am heading back east.:(

The Hummer Club doing their Durango, CO and Moab run Sept. 18-24th, can you hook up with them?

Sorry I can't make it. :(

I am. I decided to stay another week. Not often that I will be in that area with no time schedule. After Moab, I have to go to Santa Fe for one night then I head to the Grand Canyon and eventually to the Rubicon. Probably take the northern route back to New York.

What is the Northern Route anyway? I-80, or thru Montana and the Dakotas?

Congrats Pops. Currently there's only 3 Hummers that have run Paragon and Moab, Rocks, us and Peter.
You'll take the lead by adding the Rubi.:jump:

In reviewing the route, it will be 80. I don't think I want to go further north. Rox, how long were you on the road?

Ken, let me get home, then I can say I did all three, 2 within a month. I am planning a weekend at Paragon, probably the 2nd weekend of Nov. The Larson's are probably going to join me along with anyone else.

We arrived in Albuquerque this afternoon. The first destination. Tomorrow we leave for Santa Fe and Monday morning, Moab. Mona and I are having a great time.

So far, I only sucked one person in on the Prius Hybrid emblems. Should have seen the look on his face when I told him I am getting 30mpg:jump:

I am interested in going down there with you, What part of New York are you from? :beerchug:

Chester, in Orange County. As of today, Paragon is my favorite place to play. When I get to Moab next Tuesday, I might have a change of mind. I'll let you know.

Are you going to Farmington as well? Some of those trails are very difficult. Although there are a few difficult Moab obstacles that are longer, like Hell's Gate and Escalator, I actually preferred Farmington because the obsticals were one after and another after another. Not much driving inbetween. But the views at Moab can't be beat.

What I do that week depends on if I get someone to go with me. I don't like going out into unknown areas without at least on other truck. Not for nothing else, but safety first.

You MUST have atleast one other truck in Moab. Frankly, I don't think that's enough. Safety in numbers.

BTW, stay at the Gonzo and tell the folks there we said "Hi".:D

You're telling me!! Never go to Moab without good friends with all the right parts, tools, knowledge to fix your broken Hummer, and alcohol for medicinal purposes after the trails!!

Gonzo is going condo!

We just spent the day driving along the Colorado River. It was spectacular. Took about 400 pictures. It's great to have a digital camera.
