Since someone is lagging......Patrick....



We used the trails provided by @m3dragon, as stated they were not prerun so we did the best we could. Most were good, some were not, but there were alternate routes.



Hell's Revenge - Well, we did it, wouldn't recommend it to anyone in a Raptor. Mine is still stock suspension and it made it, but not without some scrapes. A dovetail is a MUST.

Ran a lot of fire roads, but they were pretty muddy.

Took me 8 hours with a sprinkler and a pressure washer just to get all the mud off so I could have a clean slate to start detailing. This wasn't even everything. Spent a good 30 minutes in Moab cleaning off the wheels and suspension. Still covered in clay when I got home and a nasty out of balance in the rear tires. .

White Sands Wash is a definite MUST. Acres and acres of flat hard packed sand to play in. Completely dry as well.



Went to "New Area 51" didn't make it to Crystal Geyser. Just too much to do and not enough time.

Overall, great time and great people. This should be a full 3-4 day excursion in the summer when everything is dry, just to make in all the trails and sights.

Glad the trail maps mostly worked. Issue with mapping is sat images are not always current. We can compare notes to X out some trails I know were "adventure".

Great weekend in Moab where my wife and I met up with @The Macf, @cups and his wife, @cbs001, @Yunk the Junk and @Dan06 along his buddy Jeff.

Now the good stuff... Chris asked me to lead on Baby Lion's Back and Hells Revenge. Yeah Chris now knows that was a stupid idea having me lead... anyway what was supposed to be a three hour cruise turned in to a all day adventure as we ran the complete Hells Revenge trail.

Clean start on Baby Lion's Back in to frozen water... Notice my perfect SF 49ers hitch cover...
