Moab Black Sheep-April 2014 recap and pictures

[alrock]

Saturday is a travel day for most attendees so it was just Reloader, Silverton and myself, along with a bazillion Jeeps. We started on Fins and Things until we encountered a group of about 50 Jeeps, so we exited that part of the trail and jumped over to the fun part at the end. Not too many pics right now.

LagunaH1 is in town as is 3Hummers. Tomorrow's trail is likely Flat Iron Mesa.

Following Reloader through Monument Valley. We had a 20mph tailwind the whole way which added about 3mpg.

Reloader going up Kenny's Climb. Today was the first time I made it up this. New tires make a huge difference!

Finally, we were able to sell Silverton's tires to a dude that came by to pick up some firewood. I heard he got a good deal and we were able to get these off his patio

Funny ****er! I already picked them up and didn't buy firewood. Neo have it to me with a **** load of left hand gloves

Mexican food, beer and parking lot socializing. Had a blast. Can't wait to hit the trails tomorrow.

Are the Jeepers leaving in masse? Any sign of Jeeper Mike or H3Tbone?

Great pictures. I need to join this next year.

I will tell you one thing though, i'd be a pucker moment for me going up those rocks for the first time :giggle:

 

[3Hummers]

Jeepers are leaving in droves. Negative on a Mike or Tbone sighting.

Have a great time guys/ girls. This trip was not in the cards for us.

Today our motley crew went to Flat Iron Mesa. It was a new trail for all of us except for Silverton. Very good trail with some challenging obstacles, some of which we bypassed for next time. For example, an H1 would not make it through Easter Egg Hill without likely getting body damage.

Here's our group:
3Hummers, Silverton, myself, Reloader, LagunaH1

It didn't take long to get the fear of breakage out of the way. Maybe five minutes and the first obstacle. I bounced a bit and it was 100% driver error. The good thing is we have these changes down to 30 minutes

Here's Silverton on Rubble Hill

Nice pictures. I sure wish I could have made it. I will be back out there again. It was the finest place to wheel with great views.

Looks so fun, but now I'm a little worried about breaking something lol.

Carnage is pretty unusual.

Wow. I can't believe it's been 7 years since I last ran that trail.

We had a great time. Hope you guys did too. I miss Moab.

Here's the old video... has it changed much?

You guys are not making being at work and dealing with crap any easier! It looks like you're having a ton of fun though.
