I'm semi on the fence, but plan on going as of now. Will probably do my typical go over early and drive on into Colorado to visit with my mother while she's still got half a brain (Alzhiemers) and them come back into Moab Tuesday evening or Wednesday before things get started Thursday.

First week in May every year which means I can never go unless I change careers.
I remember you mentioning that last year. Bummer. May be worth career change
I quasi- changed careers and have gone the past 3 years. Time for a career change. 
Hmmm. I have wanted to go back to Moab. But then I also want to go to Colorado in late summer.
So far for 2014 I'm hitting Baja again. If anyone wants to go, we're departing in the beginning of March.

I'm going. Can't wait to get back. Been upgrading my truck since I left Moab in October to prepare for this. I hope I can get my ARB lockers and 4.88s in time.
I think I am going to leave Tuesday AM. Depending on feedback from others, I may leave Monday.

You should start your Baja trip the first weekend in March in San Felipe for the Baja 250!
In...for now. We'll see how the job hunt and funds go. Technically, I'm employeed thru June 27 and if I stay a standard severance and fairly sweet retention bonus, all of which I'd give up for stable employement.
Went easy this year.
Thursday - Arches - 3 years over there and never been in this beautiful National Park.
Friday - Dome Plateau
Saturday - Elephant Hill - lots of driving on this the day before the iron butt drive home, but only day it would work out.
San Rafael Swell was still open. Done it and it's a great time with Kurt and his crew and was very tempted to do it again, but I haven't done the three runs above and want to try them.
No clue on plans for leaving at this point. If I can go, dont' know if I'll drive the extra miles to CO to visit with my mom or not. May be up for a leisurely drive over and explore some of Zion and Bryce perhaps.

Brent, hope it works out for you go. I was going to do the Kokopelli but decided no. I'm in for Golden Spike, Behind the Rocks & Moab Rim. I also signed up for the Wednesday night run. I'd be up for an overnight in Zion on the way out.
Kirk, let me know if you want to caravan on the way out. Not sure if one of my kids can make it. It is difficult for them to miss school.

Bored and just flipped thru the 2013 pics thread - I'm ready to go now!
I know Boyd has signed up as well, but sometimes his getting off early from work is an issue.
Right now, myself, Mark and Kirk for some type of easy drive over perhaps a night in Zion?

Kirk - drive is easily doable in a day - about 750 miles...from South OC. I've done the drive into Grand Junction from here a couple of times - 800 miles. Always iron butt it home on Sunday. Try to get out of Moab at 5 or 6 am to beat at least some of the Vegas traffic home. Still sucks when you hit the PRK border and towing a trailer, I'm stuck with the trucks!
