J Depp changes MOAB 2012 Schedule

Thought this might be of interest to those planning on attending:

2012 Land Rover National Rally Date Change to October 2-7

The dates for our 2012 Rally were arranged during the 2010 Rally in
Moab. It was scheduled in the summer to accommodate participants who
wished to bring their families (schoolchildren) during the summer break.

The Club Executive Committee has just received important information
about other activities scheduled the same week as our rally.

It appears that Johnny Depp is using Moab as the location for his new
Lone Ranger movie. This will result in a congested motels, restaurants
and venues until July 9th. Even at this early time it appears there may
only be ~70 lodging units available for our week.

This poses a major problem for the 200-300 participants of the Land
Rover National Rally.

The first possible date when facilities are available is the first week
of October, 2nd-7th. We have reserved those days for our rally.

This change will guarantee the necessary housing and facilities needed
to have a world-class Rally.

We realize that this change may significantly affect families already
planning vacations around the Rally. We regret the inconvenience that
such a change may cause to our members and participants.
