Well the rest of you wear out wheeling this past weekend I was at home uploading photos and attempting to remove some of the sand from my truck, I still have not decided which I hate more Mud or Dust (sand).
This year’s trek took me Throw Yakima WA, Bend OR, Burns OR, Great Basin N.P., Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument UT, Bullfrog UT, Blanding UT, Monticello UT, Moab UT, Chinle AZ, Cottonwood AZ, Hover Dam AZ/NV, Lake Tahoe CA, Eagle lake CA, Home on mostly secondary highways or less. 18 days, 6986 Km, 5 States and one province. We had hail, sleet, rain and below frizzing temperatures until we hit southern Utah.
I meet up with the Copper State Cruiser in Blanding Saturday night and got caught up over dinner. Sunday was a great day on the trail. Hotel Rock is a must do if you are in the area. Late Sunday night we were also joined by the Semlin family. Monday we had fun pulling a few trucks out of the mud on route to beef basin and elephant hill. Tuesday was rematch day for my trailer on Lockheart Basin, the score is Drew 0, Lockhart 2.Another must do.
Wednesday, we all went throw tech and registered. There was a lot of take about going out on a run but in the end we spent the day gabbing.
Thursday (Day 1 of CM), was the FJ Cruiser Cliffhanger run with the trail team, a film crew, a team of photographers and reporters. What a trail or lack of…
Friday (Day 2 of CM), Fins and Things, was led by Robbie in the trail team FJ Cruiser and I was quickly sent to the back of the line as tail gunner (I think he was just trying to split Jim and I up
Saturday (Day 3 of CM), Poison Spider Mesa, Another fun day I don’t think anyone followed my line after this.
Well I’m out of time for now, so here is the link to those photos Collection: Cruise Moab 2008 Trip

Looks like the sidewalls were taking a beating on some of the rigs.
