Hi all. I have registered at the last minute. Is anyone heading up from or through Phoenix? I would feel safer traveling with a group or another vehicle.


Thank you.

We'll be heading up from Goodyear on Wednesday. I'm not sure what time we'll be able to leave yet though, depends on how many work meetings get scheduled between now and then. Send me a PM and we can at least exchange numbers.

Looking over the trails, they are pretty short trails as a whole. The longest trail is maybe a half day, and shortest a couple of hours. Might be some time for other stuff after a trail is done if folks are interested. Can play it by ear. But I am up for anything. ( except Pritchett in my new truck ) Ok, and BFE....

That's by design. I asked Mike about the length of the trail runs and he said he wanted people to have time to relax, interact and enjoy all that Moab had to offer. There are get togethers scheduled for the evenings. Dinner by Warner Ineos on Saturday night.

So, per the Ronny Dahl question, what was the first thing upon arrival?

Crack a beer? Wet your boots? Start the kettle?

Did you find a spot? We are just about to Montrose, we spent all day doing animals for California Pass, Kipsey, Gulch, etc., at a relaxed Payson had dinner in Ridgeway.

No, we are just heading up 90 road tomorrow afternoon until we find some decent. I am setting up the text string next to keep track of who is arriving first

An intentionally long day overlanding, but such a fall adventure.
Silverton train


California Pass, elev 12960


Snacks at lake Como

Poughkeepsie Gulch (which is ugly post rains and skid plates required on stock height/ tires )

Overhung trail, awkward to look up through the safari window and see rocks

Dinner in ridgeway

Camped out at the start point

Cocktails under the milky way

Montrose in the distance

Day 2

The pre-Oktoberfest overlanding is an event on its own. Looks like fun, one of these days I’d love to explore Colorado.

I will start heading out from the Tahoe area on Wednesday with a stop at Bonneville. Arrive in Moab Thursday afternoon. Look forward to meeting y’all.

Thanks, you've seen more of it than I have then

Anyone planning on camping in Sand flats this weekend? Should be headed over Thursday afternoon fingers crossed there’s some spots down low.

Well, 2 days with little or no coverage. But much fun and unexpected challenges.

Day 2 start, waiting on Migs and 4x4

Picked up Migs and we went on watching the views

Then Lunch west of Nucla CO, and iron fab caught up

Then Crazy Star Trek weeds heading west

Mtn 4x4 caught up for dinner and camping WAY … above the Dolores river on a cliff.

New places, new friends, and cocktails and lies under the stars …. as was the original plan!

Day 3
Four Grenadiers in the dust.
Obligatory line up…yes. Green is a popular color

Then onward down the Rimrocker


These are mostly old uranium mining roads

Pretty relaxed cruising til the lunch spot. Beautiful views were spoiled by fire smoke.


Early dinner by buckeye lake. Ironfab’s work schedule meant he had to bail out early.



Again, Many cocktails and lies by the fire, and under the clear night skies…
but the cocktails meant I forgot to take pics of the great stars.

Great trip over Rim Rocker with great people! Looking forward to doing more wheeling with new friends.
