Depending on how well I do time wise coming from Boston, I'd like to do Moab before the event. I'm definitely making my way to monument valley, so in for a penny...in for a pound.

If anyone coming from cali happens to be around in Utah we could do it together. I've never been wheeling out there but definitely interested to see all it has to offer

I've done the Moab/Ouray combo a few times. Opposite types of wheeling and weather so it makes for great trip.

I would also like to do Moab on my way in from Ca. Possibly arrive in Moab 8/6 in the pm, do some trails 8/7 & 8/8 and travel into Co. on the 9th & ready to rock on the 10th.

Just throwing those dates out...still flexible.

We live in moab and can show you around if you want.

Understand brother, no issue at all.
This is more about the journey and the destination. Folks driving cool, vintage, highly sought after offroad vehicles cross country to unplug from everyday life. Enjoy a story and a cold brew around the campfire with people you had never met in person.
A chance to roll the windows down, feel the breeze and smell the road.

Agreed! More to it than tearing your $h!t up... There are other events for that. HA!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Man I would love to do a solid axle group run, but Ouray just has too easy of trails. I mean they are beautiful and all, but not difficult. A lot of them can be done in a Rav4. There is a video on YouTube of a Forester doing black bear pass.

HELL YA! I made it up on a 49cc moped on 10$ bet in 1992... HA

I've actually seen that guy driving around out their, he must drive around on hello revenge a lot. I also saw a guy on the moab rim trail with a unicycle. He was awesome.

 

[Cruiserdrew]

Yep. Moab = Disneyland. Nothing is real. But the great traction makes everything possible. Even a Crown Vic on Hell's Revenge. It's awesome.

I've never been here personally but it has good google reviews Ouray, Colorado Campground | Ouray KOA

Last year we camped at ironton, it is an open area on the east side of the highway and the ouray side of red mountain pass.

Thanks, if not able to stay @ 4j's, this might be more our style. This open area...would this be close enough to 4j's to be able to mingle with that group while actually camping in the open area?
