Eric,

thanks for the pictures...
I still think this is all a great Idea...

we still have no date commitment yet...

you wanna take over any of the planning (you seem to know all the details) ?

I'll help but "take over"... ahhhhhhh not at this time. I got tons on my plate (wouldn't mind having a job first).

It could be something we do with Jack or it could be as simple as plagerizing his instructions in my second link post (I don't think he'd mind).

I would recommend Spring or Fall. Temps in the summer are commonly in the 105-110 range.

It is a great idea. The roads are phenominal. I know of some hidden petroglyphs and ruins (cliff dwellings) down that way as well. I'll bet Jim does too.

I would say we gauge interest and use all or part of what Jack has put together. I have the same mapping programs that they used to develop those. We could do a simple two day RRC and use a host hotel in the city (Moab that is). There's plenty of drives we could spider web out from there (Arches NP tour, etc.) Great restaurants and brew pubs hidding down there as well. There's even a Winery (yes a winery in Utah) we could tour.

So... I could help but, I'm a little reticent about a "take over". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dates are a big concern for me, mostly because of the temps. My 2.0 runs real hot in the summer and w/out an oil cooler, the hot months suck for this 914.

I've spent some time in the Mounment Valley area and the roads are awesome. Really need to be able to take advantage of them and the car and push the motor.

Eric,

that all sounds good to me.

I'll take part of the reins too.

since everyone is in agreement that the summer is too hot. We should pick dates then...
Not trying to sound self centered, but I know that I will just be too busy in the spring to attend (and I'd like to come)...

of course it could well happen without me.

but if I get to vote, I'd like to suggest a fall time slot so that I can try and come also?

Any conscensus on the date?

You gotta be there Brant! We miss you! Haven't been around lately working on that SWEET race car of yours.

Fall is the best time for teeners anyway.

Red Rock Classic 2005 sounds great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Moab is 480 miles from Vegas. Remember the WCC is April 22 - 25. We don't want to conflict with our own other event. Spring would be good. I love white water rafting. Fall would be nice too. I'm open for whenever you pick.

I imagine a lot of us will have a long enough drive that we would be arriving sometime on Friday for an event that starts on Saturday. Could we plan a half day of activities on Friday and Sunday with a full day of 914 fun on Saturday?

I've been thinking maybe mid September would be a good time.

The aspens start to turn in Colorado then so we could even get some fall colors in on the trip to or back from Moab.

This sounds really really good, and I would like to help make it happen, whatever dates we decide on. It's not looking good for me making the WCC 05 right now, (with a running car anyhow) so this would be a good alternative.

Any chance on Sept. 14th? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
It'll be 9/14!
I like the idea of a color trip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
It'll give people a lot of time to get it together, and you Brant,
with yours! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I don't care what we do as long as we go to Moab. I love Moab. Even if I can't take my 914, I'll take my Jeep. Then I can go 4 wheelin, I'll have temporary shelter, AC, camping gear and even bikes if I so desired. Easy drive from Denver also. If you don't count trying to keep a 30+ carbed car running at 11k feet that is. The trick is not to stop up there. Or stop pointed downhill. It's all worth that last hour of the drive down Hwy 128 along the canyon and the Colorado River. It's also a perfect 914 road.

I'm in!

Mid September would allow for comfortable camping as well. Anywhere from there to mid October sounds great to me.

I'm starting to think that September (mid to late) would be best. Hopefully encounter some cooler weather and possibly miss the tourist season (if that is at all possible).

I would love to put some real miles on my car now that its almost 100% - if that is ever possible with a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Brant,

I'll help with the planning. Although the three of us are busy, I'll bet you, Eric and I can handle it together.

It looks like September is the most popular time, so I'll go with that.

Jack has "researchedthelivingshit" out of this stuff and I would recommend stealing as much as possible. HOWEVER, that being said, his is a "tour" and ours is an "event" based out of Moab Utah.

If we are limited to a weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) "and" paved roads (which... uhhhh, I think we are), I would recommend an "Arches National Park" Saturday and possibly some scenic drives Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. Saturday would be our peak day with "all" attendees. Arches can keep the group busy for an entire day. The walk to "Delicate Arch" will take 45-60 minutes each way. There's some hidden petroglyphs along that walk that they don't publicize.

So... first question:

How Many Days?

I'm guessing 3-4. Yes?
