In case it's hard to find the Utah Ride information, here it is.
October 18-24, 2003
Utah Breakout
Ever had the taste of red rock dust in Canyonlands Country? How about a
full gulp's worth!!! Six full and wonderfully tiring days of remote riding
in some of the most spectacularly diverse terrain in the west are waiting!
Starting in the high desert of Moab, heart of the Colorado Plateau, we'll
descend sandstone canyons, climb to altitude through thick Aspen forests,
study the wonder of Newspaper Rock, The Goosnecks Overlook, traverse
WaterPocket Fold by way of the Burr Trail and follow the tracks of the
Mormons at Hole in the Rock crossing, as well as a stop at the incredible
Goblin Valley. And ride most of this in the dirt!
I've explored Southeastern Utah for over 25 years and have become very
passionate and protective of this delicately beautiful country. The route
I've chosen has some very remote aspects to it, but mostly you should
consider this a recreational dual-sport event. In many cases, we can
individually tailor the ride with alternate ride-arounds to accommodate all
skill/challenge levels.
This Chain Gang Event is limited to 10 riders. I especially want to
encourage other women riders to join in experiencing these enchanting
landscapes. Off-pavement riding experience is essential. For complete
details, contacts are given below.
Cost: $735 per participant
Included in cost:
Six nights lodging (double-occupancy)
Breakfast/Evening meal
Maps
T-shirts
Tour guides
Discover Canyonlands Seminar

Huh huh....this is the KLR list....where we get really nervous about
forking over $10 for a campground, in the event we can't find a free
one near a creek so we have some water for bathing.....

Holy Cow! eight days in Moab and Escalante didn't cost me that
much, including gas to and from Minnesota.

Not kidding.. I thought $13 or whatever it was, was too much at
Enduraid considering they more or less shoved what maybe 40 camp
sites into a spot designed for maybe 15 sites. I do remember waking
to the sound of that Moto-Guzi rider snoring pretty damn loud in his
tent about 5 feet from mine. Got him back after I had that small
fight with my Coleman stove in which I finally gave in and waited
close to an hour to make a pot of coffee with it, but the stove an I
made up afterwards and all was fine. I missed a small detail setting
it up, the pump was stuck shut, after using excess twisting effort it
became unseated.
The freebie/$10 a weekend remote sites are always better to stay at,
unless you need toilets, drinking water ect ect...

I thought that was a litle rich, too, but not as bad as the
campground in Duluth that wanted $18 per tent for the World
Cup trials last year. I camped with a couple of guys who, when
they heard the price, went to Wally World and got a tent with 3
rooms, separate domes with connecting tunnels, like a sci-fi
lunar colony or something. They paid about a hundred bucks for
this monstrosity, used it for the weekend, then on Sunday,
packed it up, returned it, and got their money back.

I think the BMW ride includes BMW mocha latte frappuccino and BMW designer
q-tips to clean your BMW rims with BMW approved bottled water for washing
fluid. Atleast it should for that price.
I dig the super tent idea, kinda like "Space 1999", Moonbase Alpha here we
come!

I've been riding my 2004 KLR250 around for over two weeks now, just
east of Baltimore, MD. The dealer has another one on the floor this
week, too.

Heck even the UP OffRoad 100 has $25 per weekend camping, and thats
within a minute stroll from the racetrack.

This years races should be on ESPN by now.
This thing started when I was a kid, and was basically a mud hole type
track and locals just having fun with trucks and ATV's, now its a 2
race weekend event in July and Aug.

Last time there my KLR wanted on the track, but there were people
there doing something after the last race, so I figured better not.
