So a few of us from "out east" are in the early planning stages of a trip out to "out west" for Rubithon 2018 (or maybe 2019 even) and it has been suggested that we might want to run Fordyce Creek as well. I wanted to get a sense of how those trials work out on a practical level. We are used to wheeling trails that are relatively short in length and returning to a base camp each night... ORV parks etc. We will be at Cruise Moab this year, and those trails (the ones we will be doing) are also day-trip affairs.
I'd like to better understand the "way" that these trails are usually run, what to expect camping-wise, duration etc... what is the "best" way to run these trails if one is not in a hurry. How much fuel should we carry... etc.
And also, are there other places to wheel in the area that we might consider "while we are out there"?
FWIW we are all fairly experienced wheelers not afraid of difficult trails, we are accustomed to technical wheeling in the rocks here in the Northeast US. We don't run buggies but we are pretty well set up.
Thanks,
Mark
