Poison Spider Mesa is one of my personal favorites. We just ran it last weekend. It did not disappoint!

So is it just 3 of us heading up there? I am planning to leave in the fairly early AM on Wednesday and shoot for lunch probably in Cortez. Anyone else have similar plans and want to caravan up? My planned route is 550 from Rio Rancho, to Farmington, north on La Plata Highway (140/170) to Hesperus, then west to Cortez, and lastly NW and N to Moab. Google maps says 6 hours, 11 minutes. I'm going estimate more like ~ 7 hours for bathroom/gas stops and lunch.

Yeah, what Steve said!!!!!!
Books of faces is just plain ole terrible.....
It's for teeny boppers. But then again, Ali is reliving his teeny bopper years, so I guess it makes sense.

Hey, we were pulling out of the confluence parking area today as a few cruisers were heading in - was that you?
if it was, sorry i didn't say hi, I was beguiled by the super awesome gray diesel 60
Yep.
That was Marc.
You still should have come say hi. I'd have let you check out the 61.
I took very few pictures this year. I'll see what I can come up with on the camera later today or tomorrow.
E-Hill was a nice cruise as always. Turns out I can do 95% of it in 2 wheel drive in the 61.
I posted a pic of my worn out TRE on the trails/events section of MUD though, in case anyone wondered what one of those looked like. Got it replaced by 1PM on Thursday though.

Nice pix and vids. Thanks for posting up Ali. Had a great time.
I say we plan a club run up to Moab at some optimal point during the next 12 months! Some base camping with optional overnight runs.

Great pics and videos Ali, you sure know how to make a person jealous. Thanks for posting those.
Love the early 80's mini truck!!!
(P.S. Did you forget to pack some lotion your knees were looking a little dry!

The mini with the stock stripes was cool as crap.
But this one is pretty cool too:
(for those that aren't aware, that's Marlin's truck, and Marlin is back there talking about it in that pic)

That all I heard - "... you'll love poison spider.... and they were right.
Here is some more vid (sorry about the lack of stabilization)

The crawling videos came from Larry, as well as some of the pics. It was a good time indeed.
Looks like you guys had good weather and a great time!
We're just wrapping up to head home from our own private cruise moab... Had some powerful weather on Golden Spike and nearly 12 hrs on the trail Monday but ran pretty much everything up there.
Little gray truck did everything but the exit on Gold Bar Rim unassisted

9 hrs in motion , according to Gaia gps (excluding iphone heat failures) on pretty much all the trails up there.
Add in lunch, a little winching, headlight wiring overhaul, hail storm delays, a diabetic insulin reaction, and a whole lotta route finding in the rain and dark.
Three rigs, no injuries, no damage of any consequence. Great fun!!
One never remembers the easy days.
