Moab 2016 Roll Call

Lots of the PNW Crew will be there by the 15th, and I know a few others from their posts on the "20th Anniversary Thread" had mentioned being in Moab early.

Should be no shortage of RBVs available for runs by the 18th. . .

You forgot Hards01FX4spt (Howard) from Tacoma at Canyonlands
 






Arriving Thursday and leaving on Sunday, or Monday.
 






Oh and Dwight from Bonney Lake is coming down with us too. Not sure if he got a spot at Canyonlands or not
 






We will be arriving the 14th and leaving the 22nd. And my friend and boss, Grant, and his wife still say they are coming also.
 






[MENTION=763]Paul[/MENTION] I am at Canyonlands BTW.
 






Trails

Never too early to start talking about which trails to run, so I'll throw out a few that I'd be willing to lead over the weekend. I'm kinda of re-acquainting my wife to four wheeling, so the runs I plan on running are more or less in the "moderate" range. . .

Poison Spider Mesa (out and back, not with Gold Bar and Spike)
Fins and Things (Fee Area) Think this would a great Night Run for Friday
Steel Bender
Top of the World
Metal Masher
Any of the "Green" Trails (Chicken Corners, Hey Joe Canyon, etc.)

Anyone else?

I wimped out of Hell's Gate in 2010 so I need redemption.
We got washed out of Kane Creek Canyon so more redemption there.

Gotta start reading trail descriptions.

Not sure about Pritchett Canyon :roll::eek:
 






I will be arriving on Tuesday or sooner and I am game for the moderate+ trails

I'll be there 14-22 and would love to give Poison Spider a go along with Hells Gate! Kane Creek was awesome last year, definitely a must for anyone willing to drag a truck up it!
