I will say, the stupid Fairfield Inn was $410/night when I checked. The Ford lodge was full. I think Moab will be the most expensive Bronco Off Rodeo

Yeah I called them the day they announced dates, and they told me I was like the 250th caller.

I'll be headed to Moab next spring! My dad and I are going to make a week long trip of it, do off roadeo, and then hit some of the moderate trails. So I'll need my bronco in my driveway first and I want time to add some Overlanding gear to it.

That's why I booked in November...
I literally had Delta/Red Cliffs/Offroadeo registration sites up. As soon as I finalized a date the lodge would be booked already... I spent about an hour and a half switching dates and flight seats for 3 people around...
You guys are paying for your rooms in Moab?
Used some of my IHG Rewards points for 2 nights free stay at Holiday Inn in Moab.

I've been waiting for Moab to open since they announced the Rodeo Locations. I've never wheeled in Moab and figured, why not do it in someone elses vehicle.
Going in September when it's not supposed to be as hot. Turning it into a week family vacation. Driving from Northern Cali but going to take 2 days to get there and 2 days back.
So hopefully the Rodeo won't be a bust. Would like to have seen some water crossing but
Booked a room in Moab for about 200 per night.

I've been to Moab many times for hiking / MTB / off-roading and absolutely love Moab. However I'm not planning on going there for off-roadeo.
The main reason I'm going to off-roadeo is to get my wife seat time and her comfortable behind the wheel so the Bronco can be a shared experience when we wheel in NC / TN area. Unfortunately the terrain in Moab is nothing like what we have here.
We're targeting the NH off-roadeo as the terrain appears to be the most similar to what she'll experience here.
Having said that - If you go on a big hike / ride / day there's nothing better than eating the M.O.A.B. (Mother of All Burritos) at Miguel's Baja Grill downed with a margarita on the rocks.
Going where the terrain is most similar to where you'll be taking your own Bronco makes a lot of sense.
I'm taking a slightly different approach: going to Moab and using it as an opportunity to take a Bronco on terrain I will never cross in my own Bronco.
Remember those Nalgene water bottles guys used to take to work - the ones that said "I will never take this camping"?
My Bronco might as well have a sticker that says, "I will never take this rock crawling."

You're a good husband
I'm sure she'll appreciate it! And I bet you'll have a lot more fun - on the trail, and when you get home.

Moab is a fantastic location. As someone mentioned it’s hotter than hell in the summer, but beware that it gets cold (Like 20 degrees) in winter which can happen anywhere between November and March along with snow. I plan on going over to Austin since I have never been there and like someone above I will let my better half drive while I ride along for the entertainment.

I was originally thinking something very similar. But if that were the case I'd have to go all the way across the US to New Hampshire. Instead, I'm hoping to go on some trails that I may never take my actual Bronco on, to get some rock call training that I otherwise may not get.
Ah, certain regions of the country have a lot of Granger buyers (Colorado, Georgia) so we set up private groups to discuss things like group transportation to get our Broncos from Iowa to our own states. It didn't make sense to clutter the main forum with all the details.
Of course, the conversation turns to other matters too - like the off-roadeo. I think you'll see lots of Coloradans in Moab.
We are on the fence about Moab, at first we were set on it. We have been to Utah twice in 7 months, the first time we flew and took our rental in many of the trials, nothing like Fins and Things though. The second trip we drove from Florida to Southern Utah and we took our Tremor off roading all over.
Both amazing trips but I started thinking how disappointed I would be if the Off Rodeo was on some of the same trails I drove in our Rental.
I am starting to lean toward Vegas, flights are a quarter of the price, hotels are plentiful and the Off Rodeo seems to be on private land.
Btw, I posted it somewhere else but if you fly into Grand Junction do yourself a favor, take Scenic Byway 128 from 70 into Moab. That drive alone is worth the trip. It follows the Colorado river through the canyon. Absolutely amazing.

I’m signed up for the Moab event on Friday 10/22, bringing my dad along as a guest. No availability at the Red Cliffs Lodge so we are staying at the HooDoo Hilton. We are flying out from NC.
Lots of cool activities in the area. I’ve booked a sunset UHV guided tour, and a Canyonlands 4x4 tour Saturday, plus afternoon rafting. Really looking forward to it.
We’ve got a 4Runner rented. That’s going to be super lame as I should have my Bronco by then (but leaving it at home, given the 30 hour one way drive from NC). Hoping to hit a mild trail or two in the rental during the trip.
