I know, I know, but...
See, what had happened was... it was a panoramic video, so I wanted to capture as much vertical as possible.
Please turn your phones vertical for maximum viewing pleasure.

I don't want to spoil it, but I think we can pretty much summon them now.

I'm not even sure how to start in with this story, how to do it any justice.
Many of you know how awesome Moab is, and how much fun the "Overlanding" (gotta use the quotations) is...
Now try and wrap your brains around "Overlanding" in Moab. But better. No people, no rules, no anything to get in the way of whatever it is that we are searching for, whatever it is we are there trying to do.
I think we said the word "epic" a few million times on the trip. Usually preceded by the EFF-word and most of those times the EFF-word was preceded with "totally".
It wasn't until I got back, saw the above video and heard @beno in the background that I realized that this trip wasn't just totally effing epic...
It was FAWKING. MIND. BOGGLING.
DUDE.

It was OOC. Way OOC. To much fun for the EC. (That's East Coast for everyone but ALex and Cam.)
Cam had a roof rack. Fawk.
10/10 on the overlanding/camping/wheeling/lost/outthere scale.

It was even 10/10 on the rainbow scale. I won't spoil it, but the double seen on the way to Jarbidge was one-upped.

I liked the silver on the canyon walls slowly advancing toward us, then the pouring rain, and then the double rainbow. A complete, edge to edge rainbow, with a double. It was dry an hour later. Way cool.

I didn't say C-drew wouldn't spoil it 
But forget about the rainbow. Our minds were practically boggled by the time we were graced by its presence. It was way cool, but almost expected at that point in that particular day.

No more spoilers. Where's the story?--It was a dark and stormy night......

The story is like a smoking hot Israeli supermodel that you run into at a combination bowling alley/gas station in Blanding. She's right there in front of you, but you can't just drive off with her; you need a good pickup line.

No s***. I was lost for a moment.

It was a dark and stormy night...
...when an email pops up on my iPhone. The very iPhone bought to replace the iPhone-with-all-the-good-pictures that lost its life in a drowning accident a year earlier on an even darker and stormier night on Highway 50 in NevADa. (If you are lost, please report to the Jarbidge or Bust - "Overlanding" Nevada 2015 thread and return after you are finished with your reading assignment.)
The email had lots of words, but the message was simple: "We're getting the band back together. We've booked a gig in Utah. Are you in or what?"
Hell yes I'm in. Let me pack my sh!t. Oh, and finish turning my 60 into an 80. That kinda has to happen first.

Lots has changed since the Jarbidge trip.
For starters, I have a bonafide Ham handle. Not just a handle - a call sign. And not any old government-issued call sign - this one is custom. Because I'm all about taking something perfectly usable and customizing it. My new "Overlanding" name is KE4CAM. But don't call me that out in the streets, you ham geek, cuz I'll act like I don't know you. But if you run into me on the repeater...
Another big change - I have my very own Trasharoo. Huge thanks to @Bomar for letting me stink his up, but it was time I got my own.
Last, but certainly not least...
I caved and got a phone mount. No more swan diving iPhones for me. It works great, I highly recommend it. Go check it out: Cell phone mount...

Well, really there's one more change - my transgendered truck.
My FJ60 gender-identifies as an 80 series with an LS motor. And at the time of receiving the email, my truck had yet to go under the knife for the 80 series portion of its gender-reassignment surgery.
But I was confident that the surgery would be quick and painless. Maybe a few weeks at most, with a quick recovery. No way would it turn into a runaway 44-page build.
