Hah ... I told you I don't trust /6s after my last experience ... anyway ..

I plan on leaving Riverslime about 3 PM at the latest on Thur Sep 9th. Plan is to make Mesquite, NV sometime that nite. I have a room booked at the Virgin River Resort ( $25.00 + tax greed) to break the trip to Moab. Mileage is 319 miles

Plan on departing Mesquite about 7 AM on the 10th (after breakfast) to make Moab drunk.gif about 2 - 3 PM in the afternoon. Mileage is 378 miles.

I only stop to pee and get gas. If someone is whining, I may stop for a quick fast food snack ... none of those leisurely hour lunches for me.

If you want to join me ... bring a rope to tow me as /6s are really unreliable.

Need a toe tow? My religion does not allow I drive through Beaver, it is a breach of the 40 virgeen cuntract. You will be on your own SLOTS!
SLITS
I see you assume that Virgeens really do exist in Utah bs.gif

As far as Beaver .......... It'll be a quickie

Well Eric .... since you live in the "Land of The Glowing Desert", you will never live to see beach front property.

We're so smoke.gif light out here, we'll never sink!

Don't need a /6 - I did 126 mph (downhill) on I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge at midnight-ish in my 73 914-2.0 one Sept. back in the day, on my way to a Rugby Tournament in Park City! w00t.gif

Yeppers .........

Could also form up anywhere on I-15.

I did 126 in my 4, but the six will do that going UPHILL .... easily biggrin.gif

I have another 4 but it is not "Prime Time Ready" as yet.

icon_bump.gif Time to bring this back to the front of the line. Just in case there are any new attendee's from the SoCal area. It would be neat if we could connect w/ the AZ coalition and arrive Moab as a large flight of 914's. idea.gif
SLITS
Thanks for finding it .... smoke.gif

Choices of meeting places @ this point:

1.) The Shop

2.) Silverwood cutoff on I15

3.) Marie Calendars in Victorville

4.) Mesquite, NV

It's kinda nice on a 700 mile trek to have a few within cell range. There is usually a problem somewhere that requires attention. Hopefully not though.

Oh, Didn't look at an alternate route to try & meet the AZ peeps. If it has anything to do with going near Torrey, UT .... I ain't doing that road again out of Hurricane and into the wilderness ......

/L is going, but don't know when she is leaving. Joe & Betsy will be rolling too, but can't remember what Joe told me. unsure.gif

Rique & SO want to run together or just meet in Mesquite.

I will be leaving the Shop no later than 3 PM (hopefully 2:30) on Thursday. Cell is (951) Seven Five One Three Five Eight Four. If another number pops up, I may have it forwarded to my other cell.

That's my part other than "Oh Sacred Gods of Porsche ... Get me there and back ... " pray.gif

As far as meeting up with AZ peeps, I haven't looked at an alternative route. If it has anything to do with going thru Hurricane, the one mile tunnel and anywhere near Torrey, UT ..... count me out
76-914
RiqueMar wants to join up w/ us. He's coming thru here noonish then it's to Kansas to join up w/ you and whomever. So..............we should roll in there by 1pm and if you wanted to leave earlier, it's OK, too.
SLITS
Ok, I'll see if I can manage to bail before 2.

Well if you are coming across I-40, through Flagstaff, Mike & I will be leaving Friday morning. Our route takes us to Tuba City, Kayenta, Monument Valley, then North to Moab.
RiqueMar
If it helps I can leave later so people can have more time, doesnt really matter to me.

Would be glad to meet with you guys. You would have to go through Flagstaff then up from there. I would think that adds to your drive. However, iffin you decide to do so, we are leaving Thursday going up through Flagstaff and staying Thursday night in Kayenta. We'll leave there Friday morning. Hopefully Ernie and Mike get out of Flagstaff early and head up with us! driving.gif

Yeah, I thought I'd be the support vehicle for this trip.. smile.gif Someone needs to bring the cooler, cerveza, water, chairs and other parking lot accessories!

Honestly, I'm a bit concerned about driving the teener thru FENIX then uphill 6000 feet in 100F heat. Oh yeah, the truck has A/C and Sirius too. bye1.gif

Tequila is an event staple. However, this year I'm not sure if Joe will want us in his new Neverland palace. willis.gif

Hey Rick, thx. We can meet at the Murrieta Hot Springs exit on IH 15. It will be the first exit past the 79N / Winchester Rd. exit. Turn right on Murrieta Hot Spgs then immediatly on the right is a gas/convenience store (may be an AM/PM, not sure) You can't miss it. I'll be in the parking lot. In case there are more 914's, I'll be in the white one. Llamame "sal y pimienta". 1:00pm ?

Sounds cool. I'll leave here at noon, so yeah, between 1 and 1:30. I only say that because I don't know what the 76 will look like at that time.

I'll be in the black 75'
