Fuq it. I'm in. I'll leave at the crack Sat morning from SLC. See y'all there.
I hope all you Ideehoeans are bringing lots of fancy leaded beer with ya.
I'm so hardcore, I'm gnarcore.
Any special leaded beer requests?

Anyone bringing a BBQ, by chance? I'd love to make some duck balls for all to enjoy.

Dammit this would have been a good weekend to haul on down and bust my Moab cherry.
Oh well.
I'm definitely in. AGs, I hear you're going to get down there first. Would you mind holding a spot for shmoesmith and myself? I'm guessing we'll be down there sometime around 1am Friday night/Saturday morning.
Guess it is going to be an AS-X trip since I don't have my 29'er back.

We'll do our best to find the world's biggest campsite. No promises - it's been crazy crowded down there lately.
That said - I reserved Kyle to shuttle us on Saturday and we're over-full, and that's with phatfreeheeler and his crew self shuttling. Some of the late committers are going to have to call Coyote or something...

^ what time is the shuttle you reserved? I'll call the other shop(s) and see if I can find something at the same time.
10am, D.

As an FYI - last weekend we tried to 'reserve' a shuttle through Poison Spider. They didn't take reservations, but told us to show up 15 minutes early. We showed up a half hour early and made it on the first shuttle. They filled two vans and and turned some people away. I guess they usually use Kyle as a backup, but he was booked too.
You would think Wally World was closed by the reactions of some of the people that didn't get on shuttles. Funny, though - one guy was like, "Oh, don't worry about me, I'll just ride the road." Like it was no big deal. Seriously, for me, that wouldn't even be an option!
I don't have a lot of experience with other shuttle companies, but avoid the Coyote Unimog if you can - it's SO SLOW!![]()
thanks for the info. I'll start making calls in a couple of hours, I've got some new skis to go get mounted at BC.com
Does anyone else need me to try and make a reservation for them?
Everything Coyote runs is slow. The stretch Vanagon is cool for novelty the first time, but after that it's just annoying. Walking would be faster than that deuce and a half.
Seriously, by the time Coyote has you at the drop-off, Kyle will be back in town.
Sorry for the pissy hijack, but I'm out for Friday and am bummed.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
So here's who I have on Kyle's shuttle (Acme)
Me
Mr.AG
Inspector Gadget
Reverend Floater
Jimmy Page
shortyadam
particle
otter
dantheman
altachic
conundrum
Dave (non mag?)
yentna
skimonkey
And that's all that one holds.

Revs gonna be so pissed when he finds out I'll be in Fruita. Its like I've been avoiding him on purpose for a few years now. But I'll keep the BBQ warm for ya. Head on over to Rabbit Valley for some pork log if you're hungry.
