I'm trying to help get info together and help organize a trip to Moab in June for the local Jeep club and I wanted to pick your brains a bit about info on CHEAP lodging and trails to amuse the masses...
I know about the Lazy Lizard and have been in contact with them about reserving one of the houses.. I've tried to organize renting a house for a large group of folks in the past and trying to get the correct money from everyone, having folks plans change so they can't make it, fitting other folks into their spots, etc.. Well, I don't wanna try that if I don't have to..
I'm looking for DECENT motel style places to lay your head down for the evening. I know The Gonzo is a favorite here, but is prolly gonna be outta budget for several of the group. Expected outlay for the trip is about $1000 per vehicle and for many of them, this will be the most they have ever spent on a vacation, so I'm trying to find lodging as cheap as possible without getting cheesy and be able to keep the entire gorup in one place.
What trails can you recommend..?? We'll have everything from stock Wranglers and mildy modded Libertys to built Jeeps with 6" long arms, fully locked, skidded and rolling 38's on beadlocks. I'm expecting to try and put together 4 or 5, full day trips for two groups. One with trail rides that can be ran by a stock Wrangler and another that will entertain the rest of the group.. I've got the Wells' Moab book on order and expect to be doing a lot of reading next week, so if there's any spots you know in the book that are MUST DO or things that aren't in the book that are a MUST DO. Lemme know about 'em. I've also been going through http://www.traildamage.com browsing through stuff..
If anyone here is interested in going along, no problems.. Just lemme know.. Dates in Moab are June 9 - 13..
Anyroads.. TIA for any info or insight you can provide..
