Title: Moab?
Post by: jpkidd on October 05, 2022, 10:49:28 PM

Is anyone interested or currently planing a trip to Moab? I would like to get down there, check it off the bucket list.

Couple years late! A bunch of us went down there for the CJA's 20yr anniversary.
Definitely worth it.

I go at least once a year, usually to EJS.  Have went twice several years so I'm in if the dates work.  Accommodations have to be booked FAR in advance.

We are thinking of it for 2024. It's one of those buket list items for us as well.

Ron, what's a resonable budget for this trip? What are your typical travel times 2 days each way with a hotel stay? How long do you stay down there? Post up any info you think would be helpful. :)

Hotels run $200 USD (el cheapo) per night for a standard double + food + gas so all in, not cheap.  Way less expensive to rent a house.   1800km one way to Moab.   The accommodation situation is crazy so a trip has to be on the books and committed to a year in advance to be realistic... and that is the hard part.
