Let's get this going!

When - Sunday, April 17 - Friday, April 22, 2022
Where- Moab, UT (morning meeting place below)
Who - all off-roaders that want to have a good time in Moab

Typically the last day of wheeling is Friday, with the last people departing on Saturday.

So many questions to be answered in 2022.
Will Bigunit show up in his lifted T, or has he finally moved on to full time Kia?
Will Rascole and vdawg show up in their SAS'd H3s?
Will Big2dabank show up in a Rivian?
Will EndeavoredH3 have SAS'd his H3?
Will LagunaH1 outwheel everyone else with his built WJ?
Will there be a Pritchett group?
What's the average velocity of an unladen swallow?

Please note that GMRS will be the radio standard this year. We will start on Channel 17 and see how that works for us

A variety of lodging options are available in Moab, including commercial campgrounds, rough camping, hotels. Condos on the south side of town are becoming more popular and that's now our evening meeting place. If you can get 3+ together, you may save some money vs. hotels. Check out VRBO and AirBnB. All vehicles are welcome - Hummers, Jeeps, Rovers, Scorpions, RZRs, etc. We'll be in a different condo this year.

First timers - the prerequisite is to have fun! As for your vehicle, you'll want the following: good off-road tires, undercarriage protection (skid plates), spare parts for common breakages for your vehicle (CV axles, u-joints, etc.), any specialty tools for your vehicle (wheel locks, odd size sockets/wrenches), air compressor (most air down for the week and air up at the end, but some days have longer roads home so airing up is advised), cooler for your daily bevs/lunch (no alcohol on the trails, please), CB radio preferred.

What's our daily agenda? Meet at 9ish, go do a trail, get back into town. We've been doing group dinners at one of the condos more often in the past couple of years (Ugly Beans!).

First times - no worries, we will not get you over your head or let you do any foolish stuff. We'll keep an eye on you and your rig and coach you through things and build your skills before you do anything too difficult.

We meet each morning behind the cinemas adjacent to the McDonalds. Here we won't interfere with any open businesses and we have access to coffee and restrooms at McDonalds. It worked well last year so let's continue it.

I guess I didn't make the list. I'm off the hook and out.

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you out.

How many rigs will Zach take out with a free falling spare tire? [emoji1787]

I will go only if Zach and his Pig commit to going. How is that for peer pressure?

...oh, one more condition, I will need either an enclosed garage or laundry room with bathroom and shower access to stay in. Ever since Zach and I split/shared a room at the Motel 6 in Moab a few years ago, I learned that I need to have my own isolated space to stay. Zach is one crazy, unique MF. [emoji1787] JK

Peer pressure? Maybe we can just watch the walking dead on my way to Wisconsin. The Pig, she will be getting new shoes maybe Friday and we think my baby needs an oil pump or Oring for the pick up tube

I am sure that I will be there along with JJ and two small dogs. I just remembered that Bebe sent me some condos to look at. Have to find that e-mail again and take a looksie.

I'm going to keep the vehicle a mystery for now, but yes we will be there with the Yaya's. Sat-Sat.

What is the situation for folks in the past who showed up in an RV? They boondock or is there a few good RV spots in the area? I know there's a KOA in the spanish valley... not saying 100% I'm showing up in an RV but it might be a thing.

Put me down as a solo, spring break is a different week for the family.

Rascole, if you don't have anyone to split with yet I'll go in with you on that condo.

I was there in 2018. Moab Valley Valley RV Resort was the nicest option. It has full hookups. I stayed at Kane Creek. First night boondocked. They had a few sites with hookups but was real dusty and no cell service. Start now to secure a good spot to stay.

So some of y’all know. Didn’t post anything about it yet but the Mrs is currently pregnant and the expected due date is April something something. So if she hasn’t given birth before the trip…..I won’t be able to attend cause it will be literally be “any minute and she’s ready to go”. She already gave me the pass that after she has given birth and can be at home I am clear to go

Awesome news Vay. So now you're going to sell the H3 and buy a Suburban?

We've already had one guy out at Black Sheep Week that, while sitting out by the fire, announced "Hey, my girlfriend just had our first baby!" So the precedent be as giant of a jerk as him has already been set.

After that I doubt that there was any chance of a second baby.
