We are already about 2/3 full, and it's not even February yet. Most registrations
have been via our online registration at:
http://www.risingsun4x4club.org
We've only gotten a handful via snail mail. So, if you want to be sure to get in,
make sure you register now! Dates are Wednesday May 3rd through Sunday May 7th. Wednesday is registration and safety inspections, Thursday is trail runs, Friday is trail runs and the banquet/raffle (held at Bar-M again), Saturday is trail runs, and Sunday is clean-up and head home.
As a reminder, we have a new base camp, Spanish Trail RV Park, which is on the south end of town. It's near the Spanish Trail Arena, where we traditionally meet for Steelbender.

Please tell Jeff and Gena that you are with Cruise Moab when you make your reservations. We are hoping that this will be an improvement from Slickrock Campground.
We have FOUR Toyota FJ Cruisers coming to the event. There is some scuttlebutt that you *might* get a chance to drive one on the trail. We'll see. At a minimum you'll get an up-close-and-personal chance to see one going through it's paces: see TLCA President Alan Loshbaugh's exclusive article and exclusive photos on the FJ Cruiser doing the Rubicon in the current issue of Toyota Trails. The Toyota FJ teams will be based with us in Spanish Trail RV Park, and yes, they will have to go through our world-famous Cruise Moab safety inspections just like every other other participant
I got stuck with trail assignments again this year, so if ya got a complaint...TOUGH...J/K We do our best to make everybody happy, but our BLM permit stipulates no more than 20 rigs per trail per day. First come, first served. If you're willing and able to lead any trails, please fill out the volunteer form on the web site and send it in to me or any of the other CM contacts. Leaders and gunners get cash rebates, and special consideration for the trails they want to run.
On a final note, if you can't make Cruise Moab, please consider the many other TLCA sanctioned events coming up this year. If memory serves, RMLC's River Shiver is right around the corner...
Happy cruisin'!
