Ultimate Jeep Summit 2012 / MOAB UT / May 14 -17, 2012 (pre-event thread)

Sorry to hear that, The Ultimate Jeep Summit 2013 will be back in Silverton Colorado I think so maybe that will work out for you.

[TrialByFire]

That's a real bummer. I was looking forward to meeting you.
My prayers for a speedy recovery and hope to see you next year.

Our plans have changed. We are now planning to attend in Moab. I called and it looks like we will need two sites, probably 33 and 34. They do not have any long sites. We will be bringing the newly finished theatre and game arcade. Tokens are available at the door...LOL. We will also have open space in case someone in a tent needs to sleep out of the rain by using air mattresses in the Stacker trailer.

Home theatre and game arcade pictures.

Fantastic News, looking forward to seeing you two again.

That's great news!

I talked with Annette at the campground, she is concerned about us even getting into the campground. She suggested unhooking and pulling the Stacker in with a Jeep. I tried that before and I think I slightly bent the carrier away from the rear door. I will probably have to stay at the Portal campground about 3 miles away. She said it is has a newer section for big rigs. She also said that her campground is downtown in congestion. Lee is calling now.

I think that there is a conspiricy going on here. They have a hot tub for the princess at the Portal campground...lol

Trial by Fire, Maybe we can convoy from Kansas, we will be coming thru there.

Doug, the owner called from the Portal and we have reservations for there. What sealed the deal for Lee is that they have a spring fed swimming pool for dogs....lol

Even better news, since we will only need one site instead of two it will cost about $250 for the 5 days instead of $500 for two sites

[NoMatter]

Thanks for all the kind comments and concern. I plan on calling Tuesday afternoon to release my cabin reservation unless someone wants it speak up soon. As always without pics it didn't happen so here is a couple post op xrays

yeah I would get those blown up and framed for my wall if I were you. That is an epic break sir^^^^

[redrockv8]

Holy crap Huey. I assume you pull your Commander inside that monster trailer. YOu must have a couple of engines in that RV. I'd be a nervous wreck driving that thing to Utah. I know I'd rip the top off pulling under the overhang at a gas station.

[HueyPilotVN]

Nope, only one engine. It actually pulls fine. On a level road I can easily do 75. On a hill is a different story, but I do not mind. It is better to slow me down going up and down hills anyway. I was planning on going I-70 thru Kansas and Colorado but I now think I will go I-44 then I-40 to Gallup and then north to Moab. I want to avoid the high passes in Colorado. I hope that going north from Gallup is like going to Buena Vista, Co from Albuquerque. That route was up north thru north/south valleys instead of over mountains. If anybody knows how level the route from Gallup to Moab, I would like some feedback.

Funny story: We pulled into a campground this evening before dark. About 40 people gathered to see what would come out of the back of the "Slick Trailer". I tried to charge admission for the show, but they stayed around anyway. Two of the guys were members of the Jeep Commander Forum. I told them we were slowly making our way to Moab for the Camp Commander. One of the younger guys wanted to travel in the stacker to Moab, said " just let him have a case of MRE's and some water and he would hitch hike back after the camp.

BTW...We do not do gas stations because I can just see the same thing. I always try to get deisel fuel from truck stops using the same pumps as the 18 wheelers. I also have fuel fillers locations on both sides for faster fueling, but I always just use one of them.
