Cruise Moab 2012 Pictures

[ChaseTruck]

Views along the Burr trail - still up high in the colored rocks, still on blacktop, air-down and dirt is below the painted rocks of the last pic.

So, to interrupt my monologue here: the '60 that's on this months's Landcruiser Calendar pic - is that the same as the wrinkled raisin white '60 with UT plates that was parked at Pasta Jays in Moab on Friday of CM?

It does look like it. But, is somewhat earlier in the conversion than what we witnessed?

 

[ChaseTruck]

Yes, compared to the calendar pic, what we saw was most certainly a more evolved state

Due to being dry, we had the rare opportunely to go high on the mountain. This time of year, we are often denied by snow at ~7-8000'.

Left out of Blanding, looked for Marvin Tunnel, didn't find it, but found Camp Jackson, nice spread! It is posted "private property", so turned around and took the Causeway Rd across the south side of the mountain.

There is a large area between the Comb Ridge area and the mountain that remains unexplored?

 

[Tools R Us]

The Causeway is a narrow, rock ridge that goes between a couple of the peaks.

Great views.

Lots of meadows. The one we used for a lunch spot had great camping spots, leveled places for trailers/tents and even "facilities". It is only ~4' tall, hand chopped hole in the "action spot", is usable and was used.

Went to Elk Ridge, to 107 for our exit road.

Out on Cathedral Butte point overlooking Salt and Lavender Canyons.
