Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

OK, here's a gazillion pics....had to take all pics myself this year as my camera assistant was not in attendance....., so many are taken through the windshield, blindly sticking the camera out the window, and many are taken of the truck in front or back of me while on the trail. These are the three trails I was on:
The first trail pics are from La Sal Mountain, has lots of trees, very rocky trails and lots of snow in the upper elevation. There was a felled tree blocking out path, so several guys played lumberjack and chopped it and dragged it out of the way, only to find snow that was too deep to continue in.
The 2nd trail is Seven Mile Rim....very classic orange desert with huge monoliths. Just amazing views.
The 3rd trail is when I was a rider with Travis (tjh) on Poison Spider in his Dragon....it has extreme orange rock ledges and walls to climb/descend, many larger rock obstacles and with a good deal of rain to really make the slick rock slicker! Travis was like Spiderman again this year, just awesome! He made short work of all the obstacles, went up, down, through. He really knows how to work the gearing and the e-brake to maximize traction. It was awesome to see!
Poison Spider also has some sand dunes so everybody had a great time blasting around that dune and getting the sand to fly!
Lots and lots of good fun was had on "the stoop". Terrific group again this year and we all had a great time. We had a pretty big group from the this forum including.....me, LDub, VX Crazy, Orion, Jay Dunford, Big Jim, Craig, tjh, MSHardeman, Zu4Two, SpaceCADETzoom, JoFotoz, Scott Harness, pbkid, NocturnalVX, VXIronWoman, mhill, Kodiak, Gizmo42, Triathlete, Todd & Linda Adams, Big Swede, MeowMix, WooHuu, Jack's Dad Brad, his sister Diane and girlfriend Whitney, Kodiak's sister, TLMP, Big G, Little G, several Trooper, Amigo and Rodeo owners I can't recall names. I'm sure I forgot somebody, so please add to this list.
It rained on and off for a few days but we still had a great time. This group has some really colorful characters and really kept the fun going......For some reason Lisa wanted to put my little purple VX in her mouth.........and Jo says it's going in the calendar for next year!
It's really an amazing experience and I highly recommend you try to attend at last once, even if just as a rider, it's well worth it and truly a great life experience. And the majestic physical beauty of the area is beyond description!
Crotchrocket we saved a sticker for you...forget who has it, but I'm sure you'll get it.
So plan on at least 15 mins to scroll through these pics.....particularly the ones of Seven Mile Rim and Poison Spider!
Sit back and Enjoy!

I was behind you for a majority of steel bender, learned alot about picking lines just by watching you.
(random part over)
Super VXer
Glad to have been of servicebut I don't usually suggest the lines I take

Hey Billy, thought you might have gotten a pic of me being your shadow for a while.....
I came upon Billy on 191 South as I was heading home, so I followed him for about 85 miles or so....a mini-mini caravan...
Great pics! Steel Bender!you guys are crazy!....crazy good that is!
