Even if we all can't take the exact days off, we may still be able to do some stuff together.

Where should we go?  (Arizona/Utah/Colorado)

Page, AZ

Moab, UT

The current plan is to rent a RV in Phoenix for the trip.

Estimated costs for one week:

With 1750 miles (@10 miles a gallon @ $3.00 a gallon) = $600.00

and $750.00 added for miles at .35 cents/mile

8/21 - 8/28

Large (sleeps 7)  $2200.00

Standard (sleeps 5) $2100.o

The above estimate is for a standard and has a $500.00 deposit and $104.00 for zero deductible insurance. 

We will get the $500.00 back.

Our gas costs are estimated at $600.00 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Some of things we'd like to do:

Raft down horseshoe bend

Do a 'challenging' non-technical climb (14,000 + feet ) 

Utah MTB (Moab)
