Default Moab in October

Just was curious how many here are going to be heading to Moab next month for the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the XJ (October 6-12)? I was at the 20th back in 2003 and it was a blast

I'll be in the Moab area from October 4-12th.

Who else will be there, and when?

90 miles. I can be there in less than 1.5 hours if I take the highway.....usually I take the backroads there, though

Yeah, I don't blame you, I'd be there a lot if it was that close!! Have you been there before?? I'm gonna do some research to see how far it is and how much gas it would take and what not, to start working on the dollars and cents of it.

I'll have to hook up with you on one of your runs.JK!! I hear it's good to have someone who knows the area with you. I've never been, but I have done a little looking into it. It looks like something you could get addicted to pretty quick!! Take a lot of pics!! Thanks!!
