UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Another tribute to the safety of these trucks. Compare the jeep to the taco. game-set-match.

 

July 6-8 work? Will be hot but I know where some water pools are. Leave Friday afternoon, come back Sunday evening. @DJB1 You up for a trip?

 

I’m sure I can make it work.

 

How's it going all?

Moved to Moab a couple months ago and now have an 80 series.
Figured I'd drop by and say hi

 

Yes!

 

So are we going to do a first run next week?

We could start another thread, if it’s more appropriate than in this one? Just let me know. I trolled around in the Southwest forum a bit and those threads seem to die off quickly.

Even though I’ve lived here my whole life, I haven’t done a lot of off-roading outside of when I was a kid and rode moto-x, so I’m not sure of the best places to go. Spent most that time in the West Desert.

If the consensus is a day run for the first meet, then where? I like the idea of AF, but with the marathon on Saturday that could pose a challenge unless we do Sunday.

Could we go somewhere in the Uintahs, or up in Cache Calley?

What’s the consensus?

I’m looking forward to the Swell first part of July that @Jiveydude suggested. Whose in for that weekend run?

 

I highly recommend y’all check this thread out before we meet up

I can do Sunday day runs pretty easily, but I am scheduled for work the weekend after the 4th, trying to switch with another coworker to try for camping so we shall see

 

I moved from Arizona and I was wondering if Utah had a for sale/wanted page?

If AF is off the table, Skyline drive starting in Bountiful by the B is a fun senic drive.

 

Any recommendations for food in Moab?

 

Really anything you want, I like sandwiches for the trail. Generally bbq something for dinner. City market is a decent grocery store there in town and there is plenty of delicious restaurants around.

 

Skip Moab Diner, it’s nothing special. Basically makes you less hungry than you were before. The pizza buffet at Zax is pretty good though — not New York or anything but above average.

 

Pasta Jay's is my favorite in Moab.

 

What trail are you going to cleanup ? I was 'stuck' in AF last year during around the same time during a bike race. It was quite pleasant. Depending upon the race route, you can always enter through Midvale. I usually go this way since all the trails I want to run are at the far end of the canyon.

 

Huge hail storm coming through Sandy right now, cover your Tacos if you can

 

Daaaang

 

Best hole in the wall joints to eat around Northern AZ, Zion, Bryce, Moab, Canyonlands Utah, go!
