We left Saturday to play in Colorado before going on to Moab. My engine suffered a catastrophic failure in Abilene Kansas. :pissed: I removed the #1 sparkplug, and it spurts water out when it turns over. This after I broke my ass doing a tub-clip swap to get ready. Smuz drove 300 miles to rescue us ...

I'm sure that you could find somewhere to park your LJ in Moab and pick it up on the way back.

A kitchenette is nice, and so is access to a hot tub. How about within walking distance to Restaurants, Movie Theater, Shopping, Grocery Store, ...
