Wisconsin area events- TIGERTON AUGUST 8-10!!!

I need your guys advice... I have 10 days off in a row which rarely happens in my industry. Should I A: go spend them in the U.P. or B: ball out to Colorado and run trails out there for a few days?

 

Perfect amout of days to run out to Moab,UT also.

 

I don't think I'm ready Moab yet, but it's an idea

 

Plenty of easier trails out there.
But at any rate I'd say CO or UT with that many day off. You can always go to the UP on a long weekend.

 

I'd say it depends upon weather. If it's 100° and sunny in Moab, go north... If it's reasonable out west, I'd do that in a second. Even in 2wd...

 

But it's a dry heat

 

So is an oven!

 

And that's exactly what it feels like lol. My wife has never experienced the Phoenix heat. The first 110 degree day was the first time I ever heard her say she's hot.... And that her eyeballs were sweating lol.

But now we are in Monsoon season so there is a little more humidity.

 

So you are now up to 2% relative humidity?

 

Moab is a hard no for me in the summer. BTDT. Never again. Triple digit heat that seems never-ending and night time lows in the 90's. It's difficult to get any real sleep. Dry heat is less miserable, but it is still miserable. On the flip side, some trails in Colorado are still closed because of too much snow. And I can build a fire or put on more layers to stay warm. If it's hot enough, I can strip down to my birthday suit and still be miserable.

 

We don't need to know this!

 

80% of Moab can be driven in a Camry. You'll be fine

 

FWIW
I've been to CO more than I've been to the U.P. and I've never lived more than 3 hrs away from the U.P..

 

I was gonna say 3%.

 

I'm kinda leaning towards Colorado but I'm worried about not having skid plates yet. I really want to do the alpine loop and a few other trails out in that area. I found a trans Rockies trail that I'd like to check out

 

Soooo what you got against the U.P.????????????????

 

Thems fightin' words, aye?

Nothing.
I just like the mountains and if opportunity were knockin', I'd open that door.
I wouldn't mind buying a place/some land in the U.P. to retire on.

 

J/K

 

I've seen that Moab has been experiencing some flooding.

Dave,, you and your birthday suit is not something I want to read about prior to eating.
