Moab, 2nd annual Columbus Day trip!

**MoabRat** · 10-07-2007, 12:25 AM

Wow, a huge thanks to Jim for leading Moab Rim on Friday and Tony for leading Golden Spike on Saturday. Let me start by saying we had three stock rigs on this trip. One today on street tires. All on 4+ terrain. Excellent driving job! Great spotting, and guides. Everyone came through unscathed (well......) and we all made it without once needing a strap or winch. I can hardly believe it. Here are just a few quick shots. I'll try to break down the runs in separate posts when we get home. There's still one more day!

From Moab Rim here's Jim leading the way up the Z-turn:

Then the rest of us, what a great trail

Yes this TRD is STOCK and it's his first time off-road awesome driving! What a great trail to start on, where do you go from here?

We just got back from a great day out on Golden Spike. That trail with it's entry and exit took 11 hours so I'll just post a few for now. Again, Tony led the way expertly on this one:

Close, but made it

Just one more for now,

The entire gang was great. There was no fuss over a bit of plastic here and there. Everyone was a gamer and terrific fun on the trail the last couple of days. I can't wait for tomorrow's run and I'll post more and better when we get home. There are hundreds of shots and at least half of those I haven't even looked at yet. Thanks again everyone for a couple of the best and most challenging days we've ever spent off road. See everyone tomorrow.

Scott and Sara.

WOW! That looks incredible. You guys rock. Oh man I was feeling a littl pucker looking at some of those photos. I'm looking forward to Moab after Ouray 08 Scott. I hope you can make it out to play again.

Nice!

As Scott mentioned, it was pretty amazing that we had as many stock vehicles as we did with drivers that had limited to no off-road experience and did some extremely challenging trails without incident (no real damage, no one needing a strap or winch line). A real tribute to everyone involved. Great job everybody!

Casey and I are completely jealous! Looks almost as fun as Cabo!
