Fly on down and find a seat to ride in lol. Good thing about Moab is if you visit you can rent a fairly built jeep.

you wouldn't have to ask me twice and I'd be there, but the cost to get out there would kill me....next year I'm keen.

Something like that......more like Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure lol
Also on the bucket list, as well as Arizona, So Cal desert, Central Sierras, Washington and Oregon.
I had tons of fun in Calico and would love to go back. My father in law wheeled there back in the day so we had a great guide while there. We only wheeled for a few days but I could see spending 5 or so days there. With your RV you could dry camp and never need to air your tires back up.
Your list is making me want an RV I can tow the jeep behind.
I think I'll need a bit more land first though since I don't have anywhere to put it and I think paying storage kills all the fun.

The RV does broaden my range. Finding the time to go places is the buzz kill. That will hopefully change when I retire. Sadly, that' s 10 years away.
Well hell. In 10 years maybe I'll have an RV and can tag along on some of the adventures. I'll just say the trips are for "marketing"The RV does broaden my range. Finding the time to go places is the buzz kill. That will hopefully change when I retire. Sadly, that' s 10 years away.

Calico is @Jerry Bransford country! that could be fun.
It's very fun, I was just there again this past weekend. I led 15 Jeeps through two of the canyons there (Doran and Odessa) and we had a ball.
The Doran gatekeeper is no joke. I chose the bypass when I went.
The Gatekeeper is nearly impassible now. It has gotten so washed out over the years that only extremely well built rigs with huge tires & axles even stand a chance of making it up and not even many of them do without breakage. Two friends of mine are King of the Hammers competitors (been on the podium a few times) and they broke their front AND rear axles one night on the Gatekeeper. This past weekend a guy in my group had gi-normous axles with 42" tires and he only made it half-way up before backing down. I made it up the Gatekeeper a half-dozen times but that was years ago before it really got tough.
Even Doran Canyon after the bypass around the Gatekeeper got significantly tougher recently. I've wheeled Doran/Odessa canyons a half-dozen times in the past size months alone and this past Saturday really got my attention, it took us a lot longer to get up Doran than ever before. I almost flopped my TJ onto its side at one point when I wasn't paying quite enough attention at a place that hadn't been a problem before but became one. It's darned near a legitimately tough trail right now.

You could always rent one, you can pay for a trip just with the the savings from a years storage, insurance, maintenance, and registration. That’s not including payments you don’t have to make.
