    Awesome! A group of 6 of us hauled out there in 2003 from Tennessee. Sounds like you have a good trail line up. You should do Moab Rim too though. It's pretty short, close to town, but has epic views.

    Are you driving the trucks out there or hauling them?

    Left from my house May 3rdaround 4:15.

    IMG_4023.jpg

    Loaded the cooler with ice and headed to @Arrowshot 's house

    IMG_4026.jpg

    We left his house around 5 on our way to Moab! Late start, rain and what not, we got 4 hours of sleep in An Ozark Arkansas rest area.

    IMG_4027.jpg

    Got up at 6 and been on the road since heading to Albuquerque. 2 hours left driving the 782 miles the gps reported this morning.

    Stopped at a great rest area near Amarillo TX.

    IMG_4034.jpg

    Big shout out to my wonderful wife. In the whole time I have owned this truck, she has driven 2 whole miles. She volunteered to get behind the wheel for me to relax a few minutes

    IMG_4038.jpg

    Not an easy task to move from her small car to my truck with a RTT blocking the rear view, no swaybar and loaded downfor a week+ of awesomeness.
