Moab fall run pics

[backcountryislife]

Seriously? It's friday, how the heck am I posting the first pics???


We went out for friday to monday, had a great time! We'll be back again in 2 weeks or so on the bikes again, but it was fun to have a wheeling trip!

Always awesome waking up to this:

First day was just us on cliffhanger

This one was a decent ways worse than it looked, with Neo in the pass. seat, it was right at the tipping point, he was able to move the back time about 2' without any muscle, sketchy!!

Sat we did Green day, lockjaw, S&M, and dropkick, then went over to the dunes


green day

Unreal how steep parts of lockjaw were, this was after it got "flat"... it was scary as hell toward the bottom

um.... this is a "trail"? (black flag)

then we headed over to the dunes

Tuck starting his DH career...

Neo got a buddy to ride with for the evening...

Next day we did Klondike Bluffs & bHighatop joined up, pretty cool area.

Then, after we left, and we were saying "bye bye Moab" Tucker looks up at the roof & says "bye bye bug" twice... we look back & there is the largest spider I've ever seen in person aside from a tarantula!!
he was about 1-3/8" and all cute & fuzzy.

So we said bye bye bug & Moab on monday & headed home!

man that looks like fun. i'm still sad that I missed it. i don't think my stock h3 could make most of those trails tho.

backcountry, Thanks for starting this thread and thanks for the pics!

So only 3 members showed up? I was beginning to think there wouldn't be any pics from this Oct. run, so thanks again for posting up! ​

That's what winches & straps are for

Most of the harder stuff like the rough stuff on Green day were optional anyhow... you'll find most trails in Moab have a pretty decent high end rating, but a lower key low end rating for skipping the rough stuff.



Not sure if anyone else showed after I left, but just Texas Mike & Cookie monster were there when I took off.

Dude, you'll love so much stuff out at BFE, TONS of cool terrain. I about peed myself on lockjaw, it was closer to being a climbing wall than a jeep run, but it was SOOOOO sticky

This is the only pic I could find that gives a feel of how steep it is. It was a blast (even though Mike sallied out of running it )

What Rock?

Looks like a Carolina Wolf spider. I hear they are quite tasty if in a pinch.:giggle:

Tag

Highatop.... I know where your tag is!


Remember when you stopped to take it out of 4wd and do your Baja racer?
Your tag was there.... then when we got to the stream.... it was gone.
Probably when your ass end was 10 feet in the air it flew OFF!
I looked on the trail but did not see it

I think your right Doug...We were flyin, front and back in the air. You ask Steven, we had air at times...all 4... Inside the rig was a mess. The inside, looked liked the backseat or maybe, there was more room there... FYI, We held on w/ big ass smiles on his faces pedal down an we laughed our asses off...Thats good stuff...
Oh, the good old days...

Great pics! Tucker rocks! It looks like that climb on Cliffhanger is getting more chewed up? There are a few parts of Moab I plan to hit next Spring. Hoping to be on a bike doing it though.

Looks like a blast as always. But judging by the lack of pictures it seems like not all that many trucks showed. I'm sensing only 4-5 trucks
