We're probably going to be rambling through that part of the country around this time so I'm going to snag one of these sites.  Hopefully you all are friendly to newbies!
Hell, we were all newbies not so very long ago.

I'd like to join this year. I'll likely be solo and not sure if I'll sleep in my car (for the noise reduction) or tent it. Does anyone have space for an extra tent at their site or suggestion of what site to book?

I was a Newb just last year (well, a Moab Newb anyway...)

Do most people drive or fly in? I'm coming from the east coast US and would be open to car pooling if others are interested.

We have people who do either or both, depending on conditions. It's really helpful to book near other mustachians, as we're not particularly noisy and keep roughly the same schedule. We're also trying to position ourselves so we have a straight shot from the group site to the restrooms and dishwashing facilities, so being adjacent can be helpful. If you call the Downtown Moab office and tell them you're one of the "Mustache People", they will help you out and waive the site lock fee.

If you poke around upthread, there is a campsite map and people have mentioned the sites they have reserved.

The more, the merrier!

The response above was also meant for everyone thinking about coming to Moab.

One more thing to add is that we use WeChat. Once you've joined the group, you'll find a lot more related conversation happening there.

Also, I have it on good authority that even non-mustachians have a great time at the Magical Moab Meetup.

Lastly, our fearless leader, @NinetyFour, has completed the ground work for the MMM. She has an incredibly busy and amazing Spring/Summer lined up. I'll happily field any questions that come up while she's busybusybusy exploring the world and conquering new challenges.

Glad to know it's a welcoming environment.

I'm hoping someone else will chime and answer this. My skills are um, limited and @NinetyFour is insanely busy. Hang on, we'll figure it out. And welcome dangle and the_hobbitish!

LOL, stupid autocarrot. I didn't mean to make you "dangle" @dangbe!

@the_hobbitish @dangbe Glad you are able to join the group in Moab.  I can attest as a newcomer to Moab last year and lurker, the group is very friendly to newbies.  I'll DM you the link for the WhatsApp group.

Thank you @NinjaSue (Yearofsue)! You and Mr. Sue were a very welcome addition to our group last year, and your hospitality is wonderful! We're looking forward to seeing you again in Moab, if not before.

Ok, we're all booked.  Site 74.
I don't think we're right next to anyone but it looked like the shadiest spot.  Not sure how hot it will be in October.

@NinjaSue (Yearofsue), thanks for the whats app link! I'll join it shortly

I completely missed that there are unaccounted nights in between.  I have no idea.

Alas, I can't stay for the after party, so I am trying very, very hard not to think about it. I expect 94 has a wonderful plan, but she's busier than a FIRE'd human should be right now. I expect she will have a fantastic answer, once she comes up for air.

Individual (not group) sites release six months in advance at Devils Garden so I was going to try to get a spot there. Still not 100% sure we will go the after party but nice to have a spot reserved if we do.  So, I believe if we are looking for Oct 11 we would try to reserve that April 11.
There are also first come, first serve spots in the Moab area along highway 128 but on a Friday you have to get there pretty early to get a good spot. (in my experience from last year)

I tentatively booked a hotel/resort for 2 night in between.
Will need a comfy bed, good shower/pool and laundry - I think - by then. Otherwise, will be mightly stinky!!

There's a pretty good laundry at the campground. As long as you have the door code, nobody checks to see if you're staying there.
