UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Back in 2016 when I last did the trail. Need to do it again! Too bad I am busy this weekend!

 

Are you guys planning a day trip to the Swell?

 

I feel like that video is intentionally making Black Dragon Canyon look more difficult than it really is. Only issue I had when my truck still had open diffs and half worn A/T tires was I didn't hit a sandy gully fast enough and got stuck. Stacking a couple rocks got me out and we didn't even have to break out shovels or tow straps. Assuming the weather is dry, it should be fine for any stock 4X4 truck.

 

I may have been a part of that?

 

Yeah, you were there and I was behind you admiring your truck's sweet badonkadonk.

 

We are. All are invited if they want to come.

 

Better to make it look more difficult... than less.

 

sent you a PM.

 

You’re right. I had not considered that perspective. We don’t want the “safari all the cars” people getting stuck on all the 4X4 trails.

 

Anybody bow hunt and know of a good archery shop/range and if there’s any good public place to go shoot my bow? I live at the point of the mountain for some reference.

 

It's quite ways to travel for one day. Could go down tomorrow afternoon and do Black Dragon, then Saturday morning do Devils Racetrack?

 

As I recall, that is where I was spinning all four tires and jumping around like a raped ape. Bounced off the side of the rock wall and scratched my new bumper.

 

Lol I wish. The little man isn't quite ready for an overnight trip quite yet. I also am not sure the GX is ready for devil's race track quite yet.

 

That one gully was a little sketch and took some fine throttle control. You hit it a little fast which made overly cautious me hit it too slow. I got a scratch there too. Good times!

 

Indeed.

 

I'm in Lehi, can't tonight, but could tomorrow. Let me know.

 

Anyone participating in the Hinkley Overlanding event that takes place next weekend?

 

I’ll take you up on that offer for tomorrow night. I’ll probably be wrapped up with work and back home around 4.

Legit any time after that is perfect.

 

I'm not sure how to send PM's on here, but let me know when and where & I'll be there.

 

I think I'm headed out tomorrow afternoon to explore the bookcliffs above the Price River. Then I'll head down in the morning to meet up for Black Dragon Canyon.
