Fly into st. George, or Denver and rent a Jeep, or fly into Salt Lake, we can cruise down from my place.

If I rent, I can't justify the purchase of one of these:

Also, one minor complication I haven't yet mentioned: larva #3 will be arriving sometime around September of this year, putting a further squeeze on the old pocketbook...

Excellent points made. I have to say Im super jealous of your Canadianess, since you can buy the car I want, but can't. HDJ81

I could potentially be convinced for a long weekend. I'd have to rent which doesn't make me happy.

I could possibly make it, I think that would be awesome.

Put me down as tentative.

I would love to bring out the XJ, but either towing or driving it from Michigan depends entirely on my work situation with paid time off... So far I only get five days a year, given out in ten hour chunks per quarter :/

Too lazy to google - what's so special about it? Looks like another Land Cruiser, no?

It's only a 6 hour drive for me... hmm. I'd be down early August most likely.

Ahh, I see. Maybe I'll buy one and drive it down to Moab and then not let you drive it. HA!

This is a great idea. And its something that I could possibly even pull off (and drag a few biking buddies along, too). I just can't really commit at this point, with a baby on the way and all (I know that you, already being a father, probably think that it is no big deal to head out for a weekend like this without the wife and kid, but for me, having not been through it yet, I am a little apprehensive about what my life will be like this time next year).

no i hear you, it changes things, but in a year, you'll be ready for a short break

You know I'm ready to roll whenever. I like late fall though. Our trip in November last year was prime time weather.
I would really like to ride Mag7 again, i wish we could have pulled away to ride it last week.

No kidding, but I had no juice left. I was tired. I would also like to try sovereign in the same area we were in, looks fun
