Sounds like you will now!  As of now, I am planning this itinerary:

Wednesday, May 25th-      Depart 6PM
Friday-                     Arrive MOAB PM
Saturday-                     Pritchett's Canyon/Behind the Rocks (White Knuckle Hill)
Sunday-                     Moab Rim and Hells Revenge (Hells Gate/Escalator)
Monday-                     Rusty Nail/Golden Spike
Tuesday-                     Cliffhanger
Wednesday-                     Top of the World
Thursday-                     Metal Masher (Widow Maker)
Friday-                     Depart Moab for home (optional wheel 1 more day)
Sunday-                     Arrive home

I could not get the cabin we got last year for the full week, and only got Sunday-Saturday.  Memorial Day weekend has the place pretty well booked up.  I am looking for a Friday-Saturday place, but....

Here is the list I have so far:

Doug, Linda, Madison, and Megan
Mike (Livingston)
Matt
Adam
Jeremy     (BigJerm)
Billy
Randy     (RanRyn)
Chuck      (Trailabite)
Kent and Charlene

  Too bad I am not going to be able to make this one. Unless I win the lottery in a few days.

Anybody got room on a trailer for an LJ? I will have to see if I can get the time off, they have been suspending time off because of training.

[DOUG]

I'm pulling a single this year.

I might have room. I hopefully will be buying a 2-car gooseneck trailer soon. I'm gonna mount my camper on the front half after the moab trip, but will leave it open for two Jeeps until then.

[DOUG]

Jeremy, you going to be locked front and rear by then?

[BigJerm]

If I can make this trip happen then yes hopefully locked front / rear with belly up. Got to have a trailer to get me out there. I spent 2 years in construction driving and co-driving my brothers 2500 with a 20 ft trailer so I can co-drive out there.

Mike let me know about the trailer situation. Ill see if I can get off from work and the wife.

That's good and something i'm sure you want anyway after having owned a Rubi. 

You'll enjoy the trip a lot more, and require a strap a lot less if you're locked F&R for these trails.  There are places you don't want to be spinning and bouncing around.  Some of the obstacles have bypasses, and some very long bypasses, except Pritchett's where there are sometime choices, but no bypasses, and then there's Cliffhanger, and it's only 300' down where you need lockers.   ;D

Calvin, Ben, does 300' sound right?

I was thinking more along the lines of 1000ft. That is a LONG way down when hangin over those ledges!

Looks like a dirt road in that pic. {popcorn}
