Guys and gals,

I am posting here to start a general interest thread to see who wants to attend goneMOAB.  Having been involved in the event for the last four years, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Speaking from personal experience, this is one of the most beautiful off road destinations that you can travel to.

The trails are epic, and lodging arrangements are available from condos to campsites.

Are you ready?

When planning for something like this, how much time does one set aside?  1 week?  2 weeks?  How long does it take to drive out there?

[SoCalXTerry]

Roughly 12 hours if you push it straight through.   But people like to have fun going and coming so will tend to stop for the night in Las Vegas, Mesquite or Saint George for the night.    Probably depends on how much partying you want to do.

[Ghost65]

Honestly, I don't recommend the straight through drive.  I did this last year with my son Alex, and it took us 14 hours with a few stops for gas and food.  We arrived in Moab at 1:30 in the morning, dead dog tired.

As Terry suggests Irwin, the best plan is to stop either in Las Vegas or Mesquite, or St. George and get a good nights rest after 5-7 hours and complete the final leg the next day.

The event runs Monday through Friday, with a Meet N Greet event the Sunday night before.  So, with two travel days bookending the trip, you are looking at a minimum of 9-10 days for the trip.

No refunds...but usually not too hard to sell before the event starts.

Would LOVE to attend but as luck would have it, my annual Core Training and blah blah blah blah new crap to learn is scheduled over this event and then will not be able to attend. Boooooooo....I couldn't even get Vacation for the week prior. Company Man, keeping the brother down.

Waste Management must be a good field these days. 

[SoCalXTerry]

I would like bump this thread and see if we can get anymore SCCXers interested in GoneMoab this year.   It is truly an epic event and deserves consideration even if you can't make the whole week.

P.S.   You will have a lot of friends there
