2015 T.a.Co. Rock Therapy ATTENDANCE POLL

Hauling wood 2500 miles doesn't sound very fun

 

lol i dont have to drive 2500 miles. You can buy wood in moab if you want a fire but im the kinda guy that has more fun cutting and hauling it that and i will have lots of room on the goose neck under the taco for fire wood. actually planning a trip up north to cut down some pine this year. last year we brought down cedar.

 

So how does this work and idk if my truck could do it

 

you realize that there's no way you'll miss this, clear your schedule, click above if you'll be camping at BFE or staying elsewhere, get psyched, ready your truck, get your supplies together, pack it all up, ship out to the wheeling promise land and enjoy yourself

trust me, there's plenty that your truck can do out there...if you or anyone else is looking for something to do on the easy side, i have a list a mile long of things to do that won't risk your truck, keep you in a comfortable state of mind and enjoy what moab has to offer

 

take this for example...if you want a day exploring and want to get out of the truck...

check out mary jane canyon 18 miles NE on 128 outside of town...













which ends at this waterfall

 

or head down past mineral bottom and into canyonlands to hike out to Fort Bottom



and see some cool ruins

while you're down there head over to the mouth of hell roaring canyon to check out an inscription from a 19th century fur trapper, Denis Julien

 

or head over to Thelma and Louise point off the Shafer Trail and recreate history (please don't drive off any cliffs)

Shit I've been doing it wrong. I thought it was act like a kid on Christmas eve until time is reserved and spend as much money on the truck as possible while still being able to make the trip.

 

No joke after this last bit of fab work is done I will be $8,500 into the truck since I left moab last year.

 

yea you are the front runner on most changed truck since last year for sure

 

So prutty

 

Where's the trail sign up at?

 

i dont think there is one

 

IIRC, last year they had it at a table near NYCOs camping spot? You just signed up the night before? Maybe.

 

true story....keep an eye out for the trail sign-up table for up to date trail listings

 

we'll be trying out some new things this year to make the trail runs better for everyone, so keep an eye out for updates and when you are at BFE, find either Jace, myself or anyone else around the tables and we'll gladly help you out..

 

big thing we request is to be back at 5pm Friday and Saturday as we will have some events for everyone to benefit from!!

we may even bump up Friday be back time to 430pm so we can get together for a photo shoot before Friday's event starts...

 

I missed last years photo shoot because I was welding my rack and pinion back on to the frame so I could wheel one more day.

 

Feel free to pm me with any trail questions if you feel the need. I am changing the layout of trail signups from previous years a bit. Still gonna have a table for signups for trails, so thats not different. But we are gonna stress the importance of active and experienced trail leaders this year and limiting certain trails to certain numbers. If its full, you choose another day Or go later or earlier by a few hours.

Biggest thing to remember, whether youve been to RT before or if its your first time... is this gathering is all about having fun and meeting new people that are interested in the same stuff you are. It is up to everyone to b.s., navigate to other camp fires, meet people who own trucks you read about on TW. Ive had alot of fun personally, wheeling next to the trucks i drool over on the interwebz, but i never would've been able to do so without introducing my lanky ass to them... lol
On the flip side, if you are there with a large group from your home state... I'd ask, dont be afraid to incorporate some new comers or out of state people into your group. You never know, you may learn something new or gain a new friend.

Its a blast of a week in a great place to do what we all love, Its up to you however, to make it that way
