Sounds like a plan, Jo! Eli and I will be packing our RC crawlers. A fun little trail & goof off spot is the washout on the way to BFE. It is part of the Britney Spears trail. That's where I'm thinking of going Saturday. We can hit some random obstacles & have a Pocco & Whore photo-shoot! Haha
Excellent...
Will you be fluffer :eek:Quote:

Because of this, this year may be a good time to return to Elephant Hill before the option to do it as a large group is lost. Not sure when the permit proposal would come into effect... hopefully not before we get down there next month.
Thoughts? Remember, dogs are not allowed in the back country where this trail goes... :(
I'm really hoping to make it to Moab. Unfortunately I won't know until the first part of May if I can make it. But, for a first timer like me what would be the best days to be there with the best option for making the drive worth while. Also, is there anybody beside Jo driving from SoCal?
In my opinion...
Best days for a first timer are Tuesday/Wed/Thurs & FriQuote:

Last year IIRC we split into smaller groups..with several of us leading new "Moab'ers" on various trails..
..from real ( stock ) easy.. to more adventurous.
.......
I'll be heading out from San Diego on Friday 8th.. do about 700 miles..
..then stop for the night.
That leaves an easy run into Moab the next day for a noon-ish arrival.
If you can swing it.. lets convoy ... but be aware, I'll be dragging a trailer..hopefully!
Cheers

Sweet! :luck:Quote:

I do remember it being a loooong day due to how far out of town it is.
I'd be down for that as well. Always has been one of my favorites. It is a long day, especially with a larger group.Quote:
