Back in Moab - Spring 2007

[Sewie]

Well, WE'RE BACK IN MOAB BITCHES!!!!!! Me and Beebs got to Neo's late last night, followed shortly by SR1355, and the mystery guest. ;)

Took it easy today, headed out to White Rim.

37907

It was me, Bebe, Neo, SR1355, H2 Rocks, AlecW, and the Mystery Machine. :giggling: Me, Neo, and SR1355 turned around and came back, the rest of them are camping tonight.

DemoDaddy came late and caught up to the group on the trail. And ICTH3 met us at Neo's when we got back.

And I still heart teh Moab!!! :D

Next year, my wife and I will be flying out and renting an H3 to join you out there! :clapping:

[RuggedH2]

Well I made it down to Moab for the beer and bbq Sunday night.:beerchug:

I started out on Klondike with Neo, Cris, Sr1355, and IctH3 Monday morning to find the front end of my truck snapping and grinding. :rant:

I ended up driving back to SLC, my dealer (Jerry Seiner) kicked ass to get the shredded prop shaft replaced for me. The prop shaft was probably already damaged before I made it to Moab, and once we headed out, I packed the joint with mud and only then discovered the boot was shredded.

I'm taking off again this morning to get back down there. :dancingbanana:

[BigPoppa1411]

That just looks so freakin awesome! Cant wait for more pics! I have a brother in Salt Lake and he was telling me about Moab. I would really want to take my H3 on some of the "newbie" trails.

I am so envious of you guys!

[stagger_lee]

Yeah soo Lions Back is permanantly closed. :crying: I am so bummed right now. I feel like I have lost a buddy. I just got the new 4wheel and Off Road mag and there is a write up on it. They sold that property to a private owner, who does not want to deal with the liability, and might use the land to develop.:rant: I luckily had the chance to drive it once, but not in my Hummer. Thankfully the adjacent Hellsgate looks to remain unaffected by sales. You guys said nothing about this being permanent. This sucks.
Pics are great though. More please. :beerchug:

[Crash ?]

Wanna guess who it is that bought the land..??






















The folks that own the Gonzo.....

[hummer_metal]

Real bummer about the Lions Back, if they were smart theyed charge a fee to let people run it.

Why not get a liability contract drawn up?

Looks to be good fun that is for sure.

OK, not too many pics of this situation, but I'll try to explain. Made for a great Hummer Adventure!

These are WestHillSat, he & I & Neo got split off from the rear of the pack near the end of Hell's Revenge. Neo thought he knew where we were going, turns out he was wrong...(we'll leave it at that, he was a great host & nobody deserves any blame). We got down a hairy, rocky, really bad section, then ran into the end of the trail & realized there was no way out but to go back up it. We called the others for help, weren't sure if we could get back up! They had no idea where we were, I had to relay GPS coordinates so they could find us. Had to bust out my winch, find a boulder above to hook onto, get me up, then turn around & pull them up. Help arrived just as we finished extracting ourselves! My kids thought we were walking home, we all stayed calm & got ourselves out of a bad situation. :grouphug:

I agree, there should never be any blame or pointing fingers when the whole TEAM runs into a problem.

Its is this type of scenario when it should bring the team closer together. Each one of us own different skills and have followed different trails in our lives. This gives us all a better edge when pulling together to find solutions to get out of such a serous problem.

It also was also nice to read that others came to assist, see there is a real life Hummer family in all of us :grouphug:

Tell everyone Colorado is a free car wash.. :) Didn't have any red dirt left after going through Co. :( Snowed 20 miles inside Co and didn't quit until Ks. Be careful going east on I70... BIG storm coming today and dumping 8 - 12 inches of snow and sleet in eastern Co. and western Ks. they are talking about they might have to close the road.:(

Have to unpack and get my dog out of jail (kennel).

It was nice meeting you Jeff, hope to catch you again next year. Glad you got fixed up and made it back.:)

[ROX]

I found this product called "Aversion". It makes me miss the mud puddles!;):jump: I'm having a hard time finding my own car in the mornings! I can still see a little bling on top, but everyones is Moab Dirty! Do you spray on "Aversion" or is it a lotion.? :D

BTW, Great pics everyone!!! They're awesome!

[Sewie]

Made it home safe this afternoon after a stop in South Tahoe last night. Won enough to cover my room and a nice dinner. :clapping:

Weather was crazy on the drive home. Hit snow flurries over several passes and a hail storm coming into Delta, UT.

It was great seeing the usual wheeling buddies again, meeting the H2 old timers (those that showed up ;) ), and meeting the newbie 3bies. :D The newbs represented well and it was a great group on and off the trail. I'm already looking forward to next time.

I'm still going through pics and I haven't even got to my video yet. :o

[SR1355]

Well, I'm somewhere in the middle of Iowa, Motel 6. Had to drive extra 40 miles to find Wi-Fi access. I had such a blast in MOAB, truly a experience of a life time for wheelin' Everyone was great Beebs, Bullys, Rox, Demo, Sl,ut, IctH3, Sewie, Old Hiker, and everyone else that I met, your the greatest group of people I've wheeled with. Thanks for showing us Noobs the trails and MOAB. Neocon1 & Nav deserve a great big thanks for all they did for us. From letting some of us crash at their place to spending so much time with us. Two of the nices people you could every ask to meet.

I'm hungry, were's cookie???:jump: :jump:

Great pics all, and it was a great time watching from here.......

One question? Who has the Canon XL/XL1/XL2 in some of the photos?????

:popcorn:

[KenP]

The H1's came through and Shaggy said I can do that! :)

Who were the H1's? Did any of you wheel with them, or did you just let them go?

[Sewie]

Just a group of H1's from Utah. We let them go by us since we had twice as many rigs.

[ictH3]

Who were the H1's? Did any of you wheel with them, or did you just let them go?

We were having lunch and they just went by.
I'm not sure if anyone knew them?

[NEOCON1]

the blacksheep outpost is still standing ( barely ) ;) what a great week and a half .

CLIFFHANGER was :OWNED: by H3's today .

gonna be saying goodbye to the last peeps tomorrow :(

it was great meeting everyone .

we miss you Cookie ;) we have been starving since you left :giggling: cant wait till june .

thanks again Doug it was great to meet you and have a few days on the trail together . the Jugs were a real hit :beerchug:

might get some pix up in the next day or two :D

[ROX]

I'm headed out in the morning.

Thanks everyone for such a great time! I really enjoyed meeting you all!:jump: :jump: :jump:
Paul, Thanks for cooking lunch on Fins :beerchug:

Today was 75 degrees and Nothin but Sunshine!!!! WOW! I got a great tan started and now I have to go back to the Rain.:(

I can't wait to see the pics of the H3's and H2 Bully on Cliffhanger! :D They couldn't talk Oldhiker into going on that one. I wonder why?:giggling:

I MISSED ALL THE PIKERS TOO! EACH AND EVERY ONE!:rant:

[OldHiker]

I'm really tired but I thought I say "'til the next time". Had a great time meeting a lot of new friends. Our trip continues in the morning, but this was certainly one of the highlights that I hope to remember.:giggling:

I will whet your appetite and hope to put up more pictures tomorrow. This is the last of the 3's and H2 Bully returning on cliffhanger. I'll bet I was more then 3/4 miles away across a very deep canyon.

[RuggedH2]

We made it home last night at 11:00.

What a great trip! I wouldn't call it a relaxing vacation, but it was a blast! :excited:

I didn't know what to expect when meeting a bunch of different people from the internet, and all over the country. I knew there was a large group that had all wheeled together before, and some new people that would be attending. I was amazed at how well everyone got along with each other.

My truck broke the first day and I had to run back to SL,UT to get it fixed, so I missed Hells Revenge :rant: . It gives me a great reason to get back soon. I got the chance to run Sevenmile Rim, Flat Iron Mesa, Gemini Bridges, Long Canyon, and Cliff Hanger. Amazing trails and scenery! Pictures do not do it justice, those cliffs are hundreds of feet high and you can see for miles in the canyons. The trails are challenging and I don't think I would have run some of that if I didn't have experienced Moab wheelers like Neo, Sewie, and The Bully's along. Lonnie did a masterful job of guiding on Flat Iron! Watching that huge H2 get off camber (steep descent -pitching forward on one front wheel) on the Tilt A Whirl was incredible. Demo may not have run Moab in a H3 before, but he did a great job of spotting for everyone also (previous experience still counts). Moab trails are not for lightweights.

Neo and Nav were outstanding as hosts! Neo guided and spotted all day for over a week straight, then came home to guests, and bonfire parties. He and Nav must be exhausted.

I took over 300 pictures and will be posting some of them soon, today I'm back at work :yawn: .

It was great to meet everyone, and thank you, to so many cool people.

[KenP]

Uh, no BTR trip, huh?

Hey all!!! Home safe now in Michigan, can't tell you how much fun we had. I enjoyed meeting EVERYONE! Neo, you're the ONE, great host & I love making new friends. I'm sending you a care package soon:shhh:

We missed all the bad driving weather, had a great day of skiing at Breckenridge on the way home.

That trip was everything it was stacked up to be!

Stay tuned for roof-cam videos, may take a few days.

Hit a couple of rain storms in Montana, so much of my Moab mud is gone, that sucks - we were getting lots of looks and even a couple of people in Moab took pictures of the mudmobile.

I was gonna drive it around town for a week and let people stare at it.
