UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Anyone else get stuck on I-15 yesterday? It took almost 3 hours getting to work. Wouldn't have been too bad but I finished my coffee 1 hour into the wait. Damd near whipped it out in lane 2.

 

Have any of you ever taken The Frenchman road going east, off route 24 just south of Green River?

EDIT: Too late... I'm already back. The girlfriend and I took a drive out in the outback of the San Rafael Swell, about fifty miles in. Some deep sand was pretty dicey but we never got stuck. Whew...
First pic is looking across the Swell toward Moab.

 

Finally! I get to put my donkey to good use.

Camping along the San Juan. New favorite camp spot in the Bluff Area.

 

THAT is a GREAT shot. Good eye.

 

Whoa, that's awesome. Is there good fishing in that river, do you know? I absolutely love camping next to rivers where I can go fish at any time.

 

? Dunno. I’m not a fisherman. San Juan River near Bluff . I’m sure the Google knows.

 

We use to float down the San Joan River in inner tubes when I was a kid

 

Anyone else going to Sand Hollow this weekend?

Looks like I might be going to Moab next Thursday and Friday as well

What's up Utahs? I'm Andrew, and I just moved to Salt Lake City from Minnesota (I know, I'm sorry, one more out-of-towner...). Been great driving around SLC seeing all the capable rigs out here, and finally got a little taste of Utah trails last weekend in San Rafael. First time I've ever needed 4-lo

Anyways, if y'all ever do any meet-ups, or just wanna offer some dude who only has street parking some space in your garage for projects this summer, I'd be more than happy to supply beer and mediocre jokes.

Here's some pics from last weekend, give me a 1 finger salute if you see me out there!

 

Welcome Andrew!

It's been a minute since we had a meet-up, but I think this may be an excuse to put another one on now that the weather is getting nice.

Feel free to reach out if you need a driveway, you wouldn't be the first TW member to fix their truck in my driveway.

 

Also feel free to join us TW hooligans that like bikes, looks like you'll fit right in.

Heck yeah, appreciate it Gunshot! HOPEFULLY I won't need to take you up on the driveway offer toooo soon... but ya never know! These big rocks are new to me, and if I don't break something eventually, I'm likely not doing it right.

Also, thanks for the race series info, going to have to make it to at least one of those events as a spectator.

 

Nice! Welcome! good to see more folks in here! but don't tell your friends about how awesome UT can be. ;P

I was about to say the above 2 things. lol. noticed the bike. Gonna fit right in.

 

The next one is in Jackpot NV in July and its hot as shit, but the Aug one in Knolls is a great one to be at and the best to watch. Plus its the closest so its a great one to attend.

 

Welcome to Zion.

FYI! There is some debate if it’s Zion or Zion’s. Just to clarify, we’re not talking the national park. We’re talking the promised land.

 

As long as it isnt in reference to a bank chain, theres no S.

One day Utahans will get this right...

 

No, we will not. We have our own way of communicating. You should know this by now.
