Three of us are heading out Friday morning, and stopping around Twin Falls, Id.  Then running on down Sat.  Not sure where our Trail List is.  We are planning on getting hitting Hells Revenge & side trails, Poision Spider, Golden Spike and Gold rim. 
You will be getting there almost a day ahead of us.  Need to figure out a good time place to meet up.  Once the wheeling starts time to be somewhere else doesn't stand much chance.

Hi Guys,

OK, I have set me goal for EJS 2013 to have my Sami up and running.  I actually have a goal to have it driving by October 31st 2012.  By EJS, I want to have ARBs, on-board air and new drive shafts too.  Maybe new axles make sense since I will have it all torn apart anyway.  If I do that, a winch may have to wait.

What are the real plans for 2013?  Does anyone really know yet?

Thanks,

Rob

I don't think there are plans yet.  Depending on PTO I might be trying to make the run down, I believe BRD HNTR plans on visiting again.

Eric discussed hitting Moab later in the year for better weather.  We had snow on the first day on the trails this year.

Easter comes very early for 2013; at the end of March.  It will likely be fairly cold and snowy.  Therefore, I have written Moab off until 2014 when Easter will come near the end of April.

However, if they make the run near the end of May (Memorial Day weekend), I would be very tempted to go there in 2013.  It will be either Moab or Colorado-either way it will be a great time.

Maybe we will have to think about caravaning out  for the events.  I can drop down to I70 to head west.

I just want to be there when all my friends and fellow Suzuki enthusiasts are there.  Has a definate date been picked? Easter or Memorial day?

There is not an official Zukiworld EJS event this year.  Many (20 Zuks?) will still go there during Easter weekend though.  It's too early in April for me-still too cool, chance of snow.

I know that there are a couple of Suzuki vendors planning on a Memorial Day run.  I am strongly considering going there on that weekend.  Haven't decided yet though.

It doesn't snow in Moab in april...  If it does it's maybe an inch or 2, that will be gone the next day.

Down on the valley floor that is the case.  Get to the top of those mesas and the LaSals and it sticks around for a while longer.

The town is at 4400'  and doest get snow all that often, up on top at 5400+ it gets more.

This year snow was mostly gone the next day, and as Rob says it was up on top of the Mesa's.  We had 4" of snow the week after down at the Grand Canyon.  Next year its a week earlier March 23-31.
We had a good time again this year, but didn't meet up with any other Zw's.  Now is usually the time to schedule vacations for next year (mine is scheduled for all year again), so I can be ready.
