So who's showing up this year?

[Kejtar]

I already got my cabin reservation in ;)

[Lawn Cher']

I'll be there, but nothig is planned yet. I'm a procrastinator.

[DaJudge]

Hoping to make this my first NAXJA event. I will only be able to make Friday and Saturday but that's better than nothing. Ofcourse I too am a procrastinator!

[Matt S.]

I am there for sure. I am planning for 9 days this time. Hopeing to do some serious sight seeing this year.

[logdog]

I'm there!!

[imma honky]

hopefully next near.......
Changing jobs.
Need a trailer.
Need a tow rig.

[seanR]

We will be there.
This will be our last one for a while.
We want to go some where else for a change, and vacation time is rare.
I would like to see a big MWC representation out there!

[HaleYes]

I'll be there and I should be in shape ;) I started riding after work although I probably should first fix the rear wheel before I put too many miles on it (it's kind of tweaked ;) )

[rokclimbertx]

no doubt i'll be there again... unless a job comes my way or i'm too broke from no job...

I plan on doing the Fall Fling every year. Thinking of coming down on the 30th and leaving on the 8th. I will be getting a cabin this year, I was there a week early last year and camping in the rain just sucks.

I know lots of folks don't roll in until mid-week or so, who is going to be there early?

[azdesertrhino]

We've never been to Moab but Fall Fling sounds like a do-able event. My rig should be done by then. RE 5.5" lift, new wheels, tires, rear D-44 4:88's etc etc.

We have a motor home and would probably trailer the rig. Any input on RV campgrounds? I see a pretty long list of them in the area.

TIA,

I wonder if Sean and Laura will be there with the spare bedroom for me?

Can I get more info on this slickrock campground from someone.

What do you want to know? If it's anything that's not on the site just ask. I'ts a good place. Centrally located, quick drive to town to get supplies (ice, food, wood, but not beer, remember it's in Utah!).

The facilities are great, you've got hot showers, sinks, even toilets! what more can a bunch of uncivilized dolts like us ask for? The cabins are alright although they could use mini fridges in my opinion.

Most importantly most of us stay there. Generally we'll all make gangs and go terrorize the rest of the campgrounds picking up all the hippies we find and putting them on top of their Honda CRX's.

Okay, that last part was a lie... We're all generally having too much fun BSing by one camp fire or another (or, perhaps, playing wondering fire ring...)

So come on out!

[Captain Ron]

I want a cabin where the fire ring stays put from now on. :D

I'll be there, I've signed up to lead a trail. Also doing the Loose Screws Tour again this year, room for a couple more rigs if you might be interested in some scenic long distance offroading the weekend before the official festivities. Depending on the Tour plans, may pull into town Monday or Tuesday night then stay the week.

I am going to move my vacation so that I can come out for this one. Is there going to be a problem with not having fender flares in UT on the HWY?

[Israel]

I am going to move my vacation so that I can come out for this one. Is there going to be a problem with not having fender flares in UT on the HWY?

In my experience, it depends on how far your tires stick out, and the mood of the officer that day. I have 31x10.50s with 3.75" backspaced wheels and often run flareless in the rear with no trouble. If your heep looks like a death trap, then I'm sure they'd be much more likely to pull you over.

[Andy Steiner]

***IN GENERAL*** virtually anything goes in and around Moab. The local gendarmes are very forgiving. Utah Highway Patrol... not so much.

[DrMoab]

seems like they like to give out of staters more warnings then tickets. I wouldn't worry about it too much. IF they do give you a ticket its 40 bucks.

[GSequoia]

I got a warning for no mud flaps on I-70.

Personallly I'd get some coverage to be safe (it doesn't have to be permanent or pretty - just enough to comply, think lawn edging, etc)

Oh yeah - and by not permanent I'm talking just to run the highway - I wouldn't worry too much about flares or flaps in Moab.

[seanR]

...If your heep looks like a death trap, then I'm sure they'd be much more likely to pull you over.
OH OH, I better stick to the sidewalks....

Only until we're 25 and are told the truth. At least I still have the Easter Bunny!

[4xSanta]

Do you think if I put mud flaps on the rear they will by it? California says one quarter of pie, meaning one quarter of front and rear wheel must be covered which is a real pain for me but I do drive it on the street sometimes and I have only been warned once. What does UHP think about bead locks and hydro assist stearing?

They will probably only give you trouble about the mudflaps. I wouldn't worry about the rest.

Utah laws:

Full coverage with flares - no tire sticking out the side of hte body.

50% coverage with mud flaps - flap should go to halfway down the axle tube.

Now you're towing out there so I woudln't worry too much - around town there is much less liklihood of getting nabbed (they know who butters their bread)

Are you planning on driving this to utah?

If you are just driving around Moab you "should" have nothing to worry about.

Right in town they are way more forgiving then anywhere else in the state.

[4xSanta]

No I will not be driving this to Utah ,this XJ sees the highway from my trailer,but I like to drive it on the road to the trail heads and I usually get away with it at various places and it sounds like in town at Moab will not be a problem which is great news.

The local cops don't care at all around Moab. You can even drive an unlicensed buggy to the trailhead from your campsire or hotel. The local cops pretty much look the other way. On the other hand, the law enforcment level goes way up during Easter Jeep Safari. Not from the local cops, but from Utah Highway Patrol and other non-local cops who come intotown to lend a hand.

[DrMoab]

The local cops don't care at all around Moab. You can even drive an unlicensed buggy to the trailhead from your campsire or hotel.
This isn't "totally" true. They have been cracking down on buggies of late. Mostly for insurance reasons. They don't care so much if they are licensed but they want insurance on them if you are driving them on the street.

To me thats understandable. I would hate to get clobbered driving through town by an unlicensed vehicle.

[ChiXJeff]

IIRC, OneTon was bluntly told 3 years ago to get his buggy off the street. Trailer it to the trailhead. I don't recall if it if was local, county or state, though.

[RangerRick]

Local cops love giving speeding tickets on the north end of town from ARCHES NP. I guess that's where the city starts.

[MoabXJeeper]

I am going to move my vacation so that I can come out for this one. Is there going to be a problem with not having fender flares in UT on the HWY?

Only if you want to get it inspected in Utah. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MUD FLAPS OR YOU WILL GET A TICKET!!!!

[jmaxj]

the local cops down here are cracking down on the buggies because most people that drive them are always racing around and most arn't licensed o.h.v. or otherwise, as for mudflaps and such as long as you obay the laws, no burn outs or racing the local cops turn thier heads(ussually) after dark and U.H.P. is a whole different thing though.

[Captain Ron]

There is a solution to all of this.

If you get Sequoia to drive for you, he'll get the ticket, not you.

Post up, and I'll get his scheduling in place. First come, first served. :D
