Anyone from DFW interested in doing this event in May? Sounds like a lot of fun.

114 cars representing 30 clubs that we know of, we know there are some people out there that haven't informed us that they will be attending.

Remember there are no registration fee to attend Miatas in Moab. Unlike many other events that want $100+ per person to attend, Miatas in Moab is free. Just show up and have fun.

Sounds like fun... anyone up for a long road trip?

billccsi is heading up a group from here. They will go from Moab to Sedonna on the way back. They are taking 2 weeks to do the trip. He has 18 cars signed up so far!

I did the first Moab trip, two years ago, with Bill, and it was a fantastic trip. Last year, billccsi did the Sedonna trip, and I missed it. I really want to go this year, but I just bought a money pit, er uh, house. :? Think I'll stay home and enlarge the shop instead of going to Utah. :wink:

Yep... we're doing this again.

Two weeks. Departing D/FW on Sunday May 8th to Amarillo, where we'll hook up with Miatas from Austin, Houston, Tulsa, and OKC. On Monday, we'll head up to Durango, CO for 3 nights, then on the 12th in to Moab for "Miatas in Moab: the Sequel".

As Hal said, this was a really fun event. Good roads, and lot's to see and do. A wide variety of events to satisfy the "wine and cheeser's", as well as the "boy racer" in all of us. Jon Etkins and Joi may be going... don't know why I thought of them and this point...

Bill Cardel of Flyin' Miata will be there with his latest "test car" to make everyone drool. He won't be selling anything, just makin' us jealous.

On Sunday, the 15th, some will head back, while most will go on to Sedona, AZ on the 16th. Sedona is a terrific place with plenty of Miata roads. Check out sedona.net for more info about Sedona.

On Friday, we'll head back to TX via some roads that make Deal's Gap look like west Texas.

If you are interested, contact me off list at billccsi @ hotmail.com. Do note that May is the busiest season for both Moab and Sedona, and hotels are booking up FAST. You'll want to book now. You can always cancel later.

Hope to see you you soon...

Bill Preston BTW, I'm Prez of LSMC now. Come check it out. New things happening.

A two week road trip, which sounds like a lot of fun btw, brings up the question of how you pack a Miata for two people for two weeks? Heck, my wife couldn't pack enough clothes for two days in it!

I'll loan you my luggage rack and weather proof suit case. I had plenty of room for my stuff and let Stormy have the entire trunk :wink:

billccsi will testify that any store worth it's salt will ship your purchases back to your house. He also taught me that every little town has a laundromat with wash and fold for a reasonable fee, and that shipping all your dirty clothes back home is a great space saver. :shock:

Methinks billccsi travels too much.

It can be done. Me and the SO have gone for as long as 6 weeks, and that includes carrying two laptops and a printer, along with some business duds.

If you want on the mailing list, you'll be getting lots of useful info on packing, in addition to the tips Hal mentioned.

It's easier than you might think.

I had inquired about it on the Miata list, under SW/Rocky Mountain, and have been getting some email from the gal that organizes the thing. But sure, put me on the list...

I need your addy. Send it to me off list at ******@***.COM, (NOT case sensitive).

Put "supertrip 2005" in the subject to make sure it doesn't get relegated to the junk mail folder.
