The official/Non official 2010 Rubicon Trip

[BigJerm]

This is an interesting read on the law enforcement up there... The first page and a half is all good but about middle of page 2 it becomes current (November posting) and not so go reports. We need to find out what laws (if any) apply to out of state rigs.

It has taken a while to read through this thread, but I'd like to try and plan on being there for this one. My girlfriend, Lizzy, and I went out to Moab for spring-break last year and did a little mountain biking. On the last day there, we took a hummer ride on hell's revenge, and I've had the itch to take a jeep out there ever since.

It took us 3 days out, 3 nights there, 3 days back. There was a lot of "white-knuckle" driving due to windy, heavily iced roads through the Rockies. We could have done 2 days back, but hit the storm of the century coming through eastern Arkansas about an hour outside of Memphis (6 hours later we arrived in the iced over ghost town of Memphis and had to spend the night). That being said, we did make the trip in early March--BAD IDEA, but we had a great time. I think that making the drive in the warmer month of June would really be doable, and I'd like to get in on this.

Oh yea... I'll try and get some of our pics up so ya'll can drool over Moab some more.  ;D

Awesome!  Congrats on the green light.  What is your departure date?

[Matt]

That is going to be some time during the summer. The wife will be teaching by then so summer vacation. I can take of any time. I will be driving unless something changes.

I think Josh is in on this trip as well.

I'm down for a trip out west as long as Will finds a 2 Jeep hauler!

I wonder if we could rent or "borrow" a car hauler that carries like 8 cars????

Someone looked into that, I think it was pretty pricey. I haven't started trying to get the greel light on this trip yet. I'm afaird it would cost me about 3 weeks in the Caribbean instead of the 2 that we already do.

You can hire it only, due to licensing, insurance, etc.  The quote for a car hauler to Moab and back in April was $1865 for the single, and the truck load rate is $6,500 round trip.

You still gotta get "you" there too.

  I have access to a single trailer now. Boss has a dual axle he has been hiding from me. Suburban pulls strong too!

DELTA is ready when you are. I had to get that plug in there.

Well boys... quick glance at Pirate and looks like the Rubicon might be in trouble... you guessed, it water management issues... I cant link it all to our land use section but will when I get home or someone else can do it if they have time. I don’t see much in the way of formal action yet but I just skimmed over it.
