I haven't told her it'd be another 73 miles from Blanding to Hite Marina in order to get started on dirt...

So Kevin and I talked this over yesterday.
We're going to have to make a visit to the Maze in a separate trip, and that'll be one requiring camping. So it's gonna be expedition-like
.
Point is that the distances involved are too long for day trips, and while we're used to rushing the light, it won't leave much time for looking around...

Got my trail assignment email, Spike on Thursday!
153 hours until my planned departure 
After receiving my trail assignments I went looking for my reservation information for Slickrock and was not able to locate a conformation email for this year
. I just finished emailing them back there automated response from when I made the request and am hoping they have already processed it or still have some spots free...
Travel plans have been finalized as much as they can be and it looks like we will be in the Mexican Hat area Friday afternoon. looking forward to seeing everyone again.
Here are my trail assignments this year.
Thursday - Metal Masher
Friday - Hells Revenge
Saturday - Wipe Out Hill

we've had ours since February or so - maybe it helped that I put us down as willing to volunteer

According to the Cruise Moab forum the trail assignments went out on 4/15, so you must be special!

Actually, we didn't, although the message looked very much like the assignment notification.
In any case, it's Golden Spike - WipeOut Hill - Hell's Revenge. We'll probably ditch the Hell's run in favor of an excursion into Canyonlands. And I've offered to tailgun if necessary on Spike and WipeOut Hill.

Has been way too much fun to mess with it!
Tomorrow is Lockhart, so maybe on Wed?Home, in one piece
Awesome trip, no major carnage except $s and sleep.
Missed Carl and Chris, hope everything is good with you guys.
There's about 750 pics on my camera and I'm sure the others have similar numbers. Barely had time for dinner on most nights, much less posting pics. Sorry to disappoint the web wheelers but stay tuned, there should be an onslaught in the coming days. I'm beat and my junk is still in the truck.
