You missed an interesting ride. I wanted to show Katherine the overlook but we ended up in the middle of a cattle drive. Good thing we were there. One of the drovers had his horse fall on him and broke his leg. We splinted it for him(knee/shin guards work well for that) and got him back on his horse so he he could get to a road for transport.
We did find some new trails that are fun and, all in all, we had a good ride.

Mostly 2track but there is a fair amount of excellent single track as well. It is a very large area and it would be hard to ride from one end to the other on a tank of gas. Frequently 20 degrees cooler up there then in town.

Anyone going riding this weekend? camping?? Looking for a place to go. . . got a new camper, want to take it out for a short weekend.
Thanks.
I've wanted to hit Moab with my father-in-law but he doesn't seem to want to drive past CO. I think with the maps and pictures I may have a fighting chance.
good on ya!!
Not one medic but 2 arrive by coincedence.........on ktm's......what's the luck? did you 2 argue over correct procedure?? or is she always right?
lmao--kharma rules!!
Headed up THERE this weekend for some to camping and shenanigans....
who wants to join us? ---sledrush-bohica--thumperRN--we might need medic?
bringin the quad tooMoab is a great place but it is getting a bit warm right now.
These pics have been from the riding around Grand Junction, CO. Not Moab.
Well, Rabbit Valley does cross into UT, but it is still an hour to Moab from there.
www.Thunpertalk.com has a lot of good info on Moab if you need ideas and tips.
Heading up to Grand Lake for the weekend to go rock my bike! Everyone is welcome. Meeting in the snowmobile parking lot, Saturday morning 9ish!
Nice ride in Moab today. Pretty quiet this time of year. Only saw a few ATVs and one jeep all morning.
So, how are the crowds in Rampart this weekend?

I'm stayin the hell away from that place till at least wednesday afternoon. With the idiot quads out there on non-holiday weekends, i can only imagine the nightmare up there this weekend.
Nice looking country Charlie and I'm guessing your married to your riding partner I worked out in western Utah a couple hours NW of Cedar City for two weeks in June. Hence the avatar! Now I know why the cowboys wore a bandanna around their neck 40 MPH hot wind sandblasting the cheeks rosey Wished I had my bike out there! Actually, I wished I had YOUR bike rather than the old 350 XT! lol

A- techical at best, all or nothing climbs at times. So much for my new tires, there are now half gone
truly knarly, thru and thru. But we're home and the stories are getting better, and better.
