is it about time to start planning the second anual gathering of toyota freaks in MOAB?? some time in early april, late march?? maybe some of the locals can help with the date(weather/ college vacation schedules??). start planning now so you can beg your boss for the week off or line up your new job and quit your present one so you can go!:D :D

sign up now, no maybes, or "if i can get my gears..." youre goin or your not! last year we had a freakin blast, people showed up from colorado, california and utah.

Hell, I might drive out there again this year! I was planning on Tellico, but scratched that, so I think another 18 hours straight on the road won't hurt me :D Can you say "tow rig"

22 hours:eek: :eek: what went wrong. I used to live in San Jose and it only takes about 13 hours to SLC from there and then an additional 4 to Moab.

You are planning the run pretty close to the 4runner jambo. I really want to go but I'm not sure I can get time off back to back like that. Are you sure you can't plan the run a little sooner, or later? I guess if I miss this one, didn't you say you were going to go again in October? As for the KX80, I decided to buy the kids a little newer bike , a '97 RM80 - plus I'm a little partial to Suzuki so as to match every other bike in the garage.

that week in march (~23-29) are set in stoned for us in boulder. For some reason i am not allowed to choose my own dates for spring break(the school must not know who I am :cool: ). it would be cool to meet up again vova,pual,roger,etc. We need to do helldo, and proving grounds. and like i said earlier maybe even consider some trails around Grand Junction, co....which would be montrose, and 21rd. :cool:

damn...now i need to decide between EJS and wildyoats.

EJS kind of sucks. camping is pretty crowded, and if you dont start trails before 830, you end up behind 30 tj's on 33's. It is cool for about 1 day to see rigs everywhere. Regardless, we are wheeling that week and if any of you guys make it thats cool, but it might be in you best interest to decide to reschedule :flipoff2: . We are mainly just interested in running upper heldo, and proving grounds, and maybe that escalator thing, in moab. +21rd and montrose, the other days. no big deal....Skye might still be able to make it. :D

Damn you guys.... I got week off for the Jambo/ and now you pull out this other killer event, back to back.
And YES I'm QUITTING work to move back home to Gunnison,.......in June, and only THEN I'll have all the time i want to do these kinda trips....DAMN

Awaa F-it, I'll still try to make it...

Is there going to be any limits (trucks) & how about huge group camping????

WildYoats
01-09-2002, 11:09 AM
:eek: OK, we screwed up......Just everybody forget what I posted on dates, we have not come up with confirmed dates yet. Stand by, we are working on it. Paul, email me dude, i'll share the conflicts/thoughts.
