A friend of mine is going to be going up with us and he's going to be renting a 4dr Rubicon to wheel the piss out of. So now we have rented a condo and are not going to be camping. We'll be headed up there on Tuesday sometime and headed home on Saturday. I'm stoked that he's going to be going with us. He's wheeled Moab a lot with the media shoots and knows the trails really well.

Not sure yet
Last time I took I10 out of Biloxi, then I12 through Baton Rouge, HWY 49 to Shreveport, then cut into Texas, through Dallas, through Amarillo, across the bottom of CO, into Moab.
On the way back, cut all the way through New Mexico, then turned left, through Texas, through LA, then home.
Not sure this time, depends on if anyone wants to convoy
The CO route was more scenic, but it had some high elevations/steep grades, might be a problem if you are towing
Let me know what your plan is, might can meet you enroute

I am planning on heading out there as well from the southeast (New Orleans to be exact). I am in for a convoy there but I cannot leave until Monday morning, if that works out for anyone.
Never gone to anything like this, super excited.

We've been scheming on this and came to the decision that Laura and Kate are going to fly to Denver and I'll pick them up on the way.
Toying with the idea of driving north from here up to the U.P. and then down through Wisconsin and Minnesota because those are two states I haven't crossed off the "drove to and through" list in the Postal. I can work from the road with my laptop and cell phone, so I'm thinking of making it a longer trip in more stages.
We'd all get to Moab the previous Saturday, Kate wants to do Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, etc. Still debating on where to stay, we love camping, but for this amount of time we might find a condo or cabin.
We'd leave Sat night or Sunday to drop Kate and Laura off for the flight home and then make my way back. I imagine logic will prevail closer to the trip, but it's fun to think about

We will leave probably Sat or Sunday. We have a few stops that we want to make on the way back. One being an abandoned Titan I missile complex near Denver.
Thinking we've got us at least a two jeep return caravan.

This is an excellent resource to have:

I have only been to Moab in my Scrambler one time, but this book breaks down most of the trails into 3 categories: Stock vehicle trails, medium trails/difficult trails, extreme stuff, rates all the trails on a 1-4 scale, except Pritchett, they list it as a 5.
Be that as it may, my Scrambler ran all "Difficult" 4 rated trails, and Pritchett. I just have 33's, dual lockers, fuel injection, 4:1 300. But, in my group, we had a stock 2 door JK which only had 33's and a budget boost. He went everywhere with us, and without too much drama. Knowing your rig, and having a reliable rig, I think are more important then a super modified rig out there

Has anyone looked at trying to get a group rate at one of the local campgrounds? There are several listed on the Moab Campground list that offer a little of everything. From campsites,RV sites and cabins. It would be nice to have the majority of us in one spot this time!

Good thing because the only reason you're tolerable is because you bring Connie to balance out your couple's cool factor.

I'm going to pull out of my drive way, turn left, turn left again in 1 block, then go west for 24 hours and turn left.
That's too complicated. I'll just follow you.
