The Red Cliff Lodge is located about halfway between Cisco and Moab, UT on Highway 128. It is located on the banks of the Colorado River east of Moab.

I would love to do this but have a race that weekend. My Challenger isn't vintage - I'd be wheeling my 2012 SRT8 6-speed that has been just chomping at the bit to take a road trip. Couldn't help myself and Google Earth'ed the location. Got a good laugh out of the graffiti....that I'm sure no one here on FEBO is responsible for

Looks like that shack is going to fall down soon. If that is a focal point for a cult following it should be preserved. A good wind storm and that chicken coupe is gonna blow away.

If Kowalski would have only seen the sign....

Just 3 weeks away. Wanted to make one last shout out to see if anyone is game to make this trip. Have about 7 participants from the modern Challenger world coming. I would very much love to see some classic Mopar represented as well. Any questions? Fire away. Thanks, Mike

I have it on my calendar and will see if I can make it as it gets closer. I'd be driving my lonely 72 Satellite. It has 2.93 gears.

Great news. We’ll be glad to have you there.

The meet up in Cisco took place yesterday on June 11. We had 5 modern Challengers in attendance. Did a variety of photo and video shoots. It was an interesting place to visit. If you’re thinking you would like to visit there I’d do it soon. The building is in very rough shape and won’t be standing too much longer unfortunately. We left a bouquet of flowers in memory of Barry Newman too.

Very unfortunate that the building is falling down.
Surprised not a single original challenger showed up.
Thanks for the pics!

Would you want your original challenger to vanish at that point?

I ended up buying a car over in Denver so had to go pick that up.

 

[Cuda Hunter]

From the auction? Which one? Curious.....

 

[moparmarks]

Ya. The 71 RR sunroof car. Did bid on a few.

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Nice! The sunroof car was one of the coolest there due to that option.

 

[moparmarks]

There was some nice projects that were a good deal.

 

[Cuda Hunter]

No deals on the cuda's. Decent prices on the vert chally's, kinda.
