ROCKtober Therapy - THE Moab Gathering

Ok, so in summary, for 2019:

Camping Details from first post:

TRAILS

@turbodb - you coming?

No Bassman. (@m3bassman) No Frank/Igor (@Blackdawg)

 

Nope.

Done all my big trips for the year. Plus be in NYC for a conference that weekend.

 

I might swing by for a trail and evening. Just moved to a new house, and have a lot of work to do there. But i still am only 90 miles away...

 

Come ride shotgun with one of us in PA while you are out here and see how the East Coast wheels.

 

First post has also been updated for a while

 

I am a maybe most likely no now. Wife is 7 months pregnant. Thought we could do it since we went to Moab her first pregnancy at 7 months, but having a 2 year old and pregnant makes it a little tougher.

 

last item off my moab to-do list done today... got proper coverage over my tcase finally. now i won't have to worry about dragging my tcase over any ledges again..



found out my tcase likes to grab rocks when it's not supposed to... factory skid did save it from lots of damage at least... but now it's no longer a concern



just gotta pack and stock up on beer

 

Is that a lift I see in your garage?
Niiice!

 

I wish that was my garage! At a friend's place who helps with my metal work needs.

 

If anyone wants a Viking board but doesn’t want to pay for shipping let me know and I’ll bring them with me. I have some ready to go

 

/\ never go camping without ours

 

Went and run Poughkeepsie Gulch yesterday with Western Slope 4 Wheelers. The trail is still closed but we had permission to do some cleanup after those heepers cut the locks this summer and went off trail to get around the avalanche.

Did my usual line on the wall. About here I discovered my front locker wasn't working.




Still walked right up with just a little slip on the passenger front.

So today was truck maintenance. Locker was just a blown fuse. Couldn't see any shorts anywhere.

Finally installed a dome light bulb after a mere 9 years of owning the truck.

Successful maintenance day.

Will probably crawl under and do a bolt check before I hit the road.

 

It was mainly all around the one spot.



We moved some more logs to hopefully keep people on the trail. Dug through the ice berm, so hopefully the trail can open next season.

WS4W had the keys to the lower gate. We locked it after ourselves. But while we were working a SXS just rocked up behind us.

The fuckers claimed they were just following an open trail. We went back down and looked where they went. They followed a legit trail just below the gate that goes to some camping sites.

Then crossed the creek, drove through a (damaged) muddy meadow and finally up an actual waterfall to get back on the Poughkeepsie trail. None of it looked remotely like you should be driving there.

So frustrating. We are there trying to get NF on our side to keep this trail open by fixing previous damage, meanwhile these fuckwits are causing more.

 

good for you guys to help get some of that in order

that's beyond frustrating to have that guy roll up like that not giving a single fuck about the area. sucks seeing closures, fencing and gates, but can you blame the forest service? gotta work extra hard these days to keep our access

 

Did you report them? I'd enjoy seeing his face when you take a pic of his registration.

 

That’s bullshit. People are the worst.

 

bump awesomeness

 

Would love to come, but not going to work out for me time wise unfortunately. Maybe if it was a week later, hahahaha.

 

my 3 year old will be down there with me and she was down there last year. hope you guys are ready to get out partied by a 3 year old.

replacement 42's havent showed up yet for the one a raped like 3 months ago. really not looking forward to wheeling on a pached tire but ill do it.
