    Is that the same program that had the guy driving the Bolivian "Death Road" in a 1st gen Trooper? If so, good show. I'll try to catch it!

    Ya I didnt read this till after I watched the show. Which I wouldnt have seen it if a old roomate didnt notify me of it via text.


    Hey Tom that not sure fi you saw it but that "narrow shelf road" looks familiar. I was looking for the crshed car on the side of of cliff. Man if its the same thing well lets justs ay was my first off road trip to moab and had seat particles in my behind do to the pucker effect...

    I remember the cb convo like it was yesterday.. As we are going up. "Um Tom is this a 2 way road?" "Why yes it is." "OK well where are we suppose to pull over" (thinking to myself no way in hell that is happening. Was really only room for one vehicle.. LOL good times


    Trip they took looked fun

    They over-dramatized it a LOT. The trails they were on were no where near as narrow as they made them out to be (anyone who has done Kane Creek or Cliff Hanger can atest to that). Part of that trip (Schaffer Trail) I did last year...you could drive a tank down it. Good show anyways!
    I would love to do Moab in the winter. Would be a great time and change of scenery...not that I get tired of the Moab scenery!

    yea, your right Billy, they did. But for those that have never been there, and for those of us, (me and Sandy) and many others that have only been there once, it was exciting.

    You'll laugh. Sandy and I just finished watching it. The part toward the end where they decided to detour and head for pavement.

    She, the one that had bailed out on me on the first ledge of Again and Again, the same ledge that I was ready to sell my VX to anyone that could get it off of it,....... screamed,................ YOU P*****S!!

    I'm heading out Sunday 5/9 solo, so we could make it a trio caravan if it's Sunday.
