Ok, guys. I'm here to give you guys an update on what's going on with MUTA. Ramada didn't get that many reservations, maybe 2....tops. I think a lot of people have been interested in the in-town campsites in Moab. Quite a few have yet to book a hotel room. Since this is the case, we're wondering how many people would prefer to go to one campsite. This would have running water with bathrooms and showers. We would also have a few firepits that we could have a fire at for the 2 nights that we're there. I've got 2 campgrounds in mind that I've already contacted that we could get for around $20 a night per each tent slot. Not bad eh? Let me know what you guys think. There isn't much time and I will need to make a decision by the weekend!!! So let me know!!

We've got some great runs planned out for you all. There will be about 6 total, most averaging about 3 hour round trip. 2 will be all day rides, but could still be a lot of fun.

Also, to give eveyone a better idea of what is planned for this feeler weekend, I've put down a list of current routes we have planned out. Most of which are awesome, and should only take a half day each. That way, you should get 2 runs a day in, unless of course people want to hike or bike around.

Run 1 - La Sal Mountain Loop - 3-4 hours

Run 2 - Colorado Riverway Scenic Byway - 1.5-2 hours

Run 3 - Dead Horse Point State Park - 2.5-3 hours

Run 4 - Arches National Park - 2 hours, unless you feel like short hikes.

Run 5 - Island in the Sky - 3-4 hours

Run 6 - Needles Overlook - 3-4 hours

We will also try to plan one or two of these for a early morning sunrise and evening sunset.

There are a couple other runs I was thinking we could do, but they would take a VERY long time and we might want to do that for the first annual MUTA next year. One of which would be the Bullfrog, Lake Powell ferry.

Well, we had not only a blast, but a very big thumbs up for next year. So, the first annual MUTA will happen in OCT of 07. We will have a better report by tomorrow. For now, we have a couple of nice pics.
