Moab Pre run 2017. (1 Viewer)

[Dan Higgins]

So far we will have 5 rigs on Sunday, 8 on Monday, and 9 on Tuesday. We have not finalized the trail runs yet. We will be meeting at local restaurant for food/drinks on Saturday evening to discuss the trails. Last year we met at The Blu Pig. We can meet there again say around 6pm. Their address is 811 S Main St, Moab, UT 84532

Lineup every morning will be at 8am Gearheads parking lot, 471 S Main St, Moab.

Tentative Trail runs:
Sunday: Fins and Things and lunch in town and maybe another trail in the afternoon. [Expect scrapes on bumper and sliders]
Monday: Hell's Revenge (AM) and lunch in town and then Top of the World (PM) [Expect scrapes on bumper , sliders, rear diff, rear LCA and rear shock mounts]
Tuesday: Onion Creek (AM) and lunch in town and maybe another trail TBD in the afternoon. [Probably nothing]

Feel free to provide feedback and trail recommendation.

Blu Pig is good. Gearheads is a problem for me though. Any time I drive near that place my wallet starts sliding out of my pocket!

You must have adventurous parents. Shafer from top to bottom is a bit of a thrill to say the least.

Hah -- they're not as adventurous as they used to be but seem to be eager to drive on some dirt. To their credit, they started taking a Ford Explorer to Ouray in 1988 and we went every couple years until I reached adulthood. I'm pretty sure I learned to drive on Engineer Pass before I ever drove on a paved road. Those experiences eventually led to my taking up offroading as an adult.

What time are you thinking? If it's in the afternoon I might tag along. Not sure what time I'll roll into Moab.

The wife and I get into Moab around 9AM on Saturday. We were planning on doing something (Chicken Corners? Tower Arch?) in the morning and then the rest of the family gets in after lunch. Since it's summer and the days are long, I figured we'd roll out around 2-3PM and hit up Shafer.

We will be driving from Salt Lake City with @dc916cruiser and hoping to arrive by afternoon. We may be able to join on Saturday afternoon.

My cell is the the contact list so just shoot me a text if you'd like to check in and/or are interested in joining us. The more the merrier. I'll also be monitoring 156.52 if you have 2m.

What time are you rolling through SLC? I live in North SLC.

We will spend the night of 28th in SLC at Baymont Inn & Suites Murray/Salt Lake City and wake up next morning and head to Moab. Not sure when specifically, its less than four hour drive. We can leave around 8am in the morning of 29th and be there around noon for lunch. Our check-in is 4pm around. We are flexible and can head out together if that works for you.

Right on. I'm 20mins from the Baymont Inn. I'll let you know via the group text if I can make it.

Sounds good.

You guys all need to get Instagram accounts (or post them); I'm tired of all the TACO pics, its time for some LC representation in social media!

(I'm being "serious, not serious", and i do hope to join you all one day!)

We'll arrive sometime Sunday afternoon in Moab. @indycole - I'll punch in those numbers on 2M

Hey guys, I will be driving down from SLC early Tuesday morning. I would love to tag along if there is some room Tuesday. Thanks!

Probably depends on what time you roll in as we'll be on the trail in the AM. If you can make it before we leave, for sure. Otherwise you might have to wait to see if/what trails we do in the PM

Looking pretty good for weather. I think clouds are going to be much better than a blaring Moab sun.

 

[Markuson]

You read my mind! Was about to post that it looks like we're gonna get a 10 degree reprieve from the heat! Awesome! And ya, for photos...clouds are sweet! On the other hand... Humidity..... Heh!

Sorry no video as I spotting him. But his bumper cleared this. We get some shots today at fins and things. He did scrape his rear bumper.
