There's no one way to get to Moab.

Pretty good description. Yes, for those of us who can afford to
fly/rent but can't afford the time to drive all that way have done so
the last few years. Last year I went with Jacquie and we added a day to
visit relatives so didn't do the big group thing. But this year, if I
can go, I'll definitely be interested in shared rental vehicle(s) down
from SLC.

I'm not a camper though, so if we split between campers and shared,
roofed dwellings it could be a problem due to the location of the
camping. That just means we might have to rent two smaller vehicles
instead of one big one. In 2003 we had two minivans and it worked very
nicely. In '04 we had a 10-passenger van which was fun, but
logistically more complicated. Using two vehicles also makes the
scheduling much easier, allowing for an early and late groups in both
directions to-from SLC.

In the past, we have done the fly-drive thing with a Friday arrival in
SLC, as early as possible, and Monday departure for home (from SLC) no
earlier than 2:00pm if possible. Otherwise we have to get up way too
early after 2.5-3 days of hard riding. Assuming I can go, I wouldn't
mind flying down on Thursday, or leaving much later on Monday, to add a
possible day or half-day of non-unicycle touring of Arches or
Canyonlands.

Who would like to get in on a fly-drive (-shared accommodations) like
this? If interested, please indicated which travel days can work for
you.

OK Moab fans, I have jumped on top of renting a cheap place to share in
Moab before it's gone. Last year we missed our chance at the Desert
Gardens place, which is 1 1/2 blocks from the main drag in "downtown"
Moab. Nathan and his group stayed at another property from the same
company, so hope they still like this one. Both were available as of
this moment so I picked the one I knew we liked in the past.

This place sleeps 4-5 adults and will be less than $150/night (exact
price depending on # of guests). It has a shared hot tub in the yard,
and is a quaint, peaceful little place.

There is only one of me, and I'm not even sure if I can go yet. If
necessary, I can transfer the reservation to someone else if a group
wants it. My work situation has changed, and Jacquie and I have a lot
of trips planned for this year.

Anyway, the reservation is for Friday through Sunday nights. It
shouldn't be a problem to add a night if some of us decide to arrive a
day earlier or leave a day later. Who wants in on this? If you do,
please SEND ME AN EMAIL, using the address below. My visits to the
newsgroup may be sporadic.

Most likely I'll be renting a vehicle in Grand Junction if someone wants
a ride.
