    Yeah I'm down for Slick Rock or DV in June. Just as long as my truck isn't messed up from Moab :eek:

    I'm going to go ahead and finalize this camping trip to Niagara Rim

    Im in for this trip for sure. Just might not be wheeling. Maybe riding along or just camping and hiking. Im in for a June trip to slickrock too. Maybe MJ will be nice enough to start a thread for us...

    LOL I won't even know if I can go on any trips in June until I get back from Moab in early June.

    I'll have a couple of spots in my truck if someone doesn't want to wheel their truck, but know that the last few times I've done this, the passengers always say, "Damn I wish I drove my truck!" haha

    LOL ok. But keep your options open. It may be more fun in another truck that's more capable. I'm sure I'll be hitting up some of the bypasses

    And yea if there's a trip in June and my truck is good, I'm in. I don't work summers anymore :cool:

    Based on those photos and the discription of moderate vs difficult. I may wheel my truck. Just might need a good spotter or someone to follow.

    I wonder how true those are because it showed the print date as 2004. Definitely good to know about the bypasses though.
