Anybody else?

That would be Escalator, its part of the Hell's Revenge trail; conveniently located for your pleasure between Hell's Gate and the Hot Tubs.

I am definitly, for sure, positively, going to be there. Even though I wont be in the "jellybean"(sold). I will be leaving Bullhead City on tuesday and heading that way. I have the entire week to enjoy all that slickrock. I will be able to run with most of the big dogs

Hells Revenge sounds good to me. There was a good show on The Outdoor Channel tonight at 9:30 Eastern Time called "On the Rocks" about Moab and that trail specifically. I got pretty dang excited. So excited I went in the backyard and started working on a truck...a truck that isn't even going to MOAB.

Hells revenge is a great trail, scary in spots!!

They are like Follow me... next thing we know we are looking up Hels Gate with no way to turn around... YIKES! I would do it all over again too, just AFTER I get my 4x4 and lockers fixed... nothing like being half way up knowing you could slip into neautral at any moment and your locker is puking fluid all over the slick rock... yikes!
This year I may take the bypasses. LOL

Ran PSM last week in my X. It will be no problem as long as you are locked on one end.

I'll leave Friday open for now so we don't have too large of a crowd on TOW. If interested I'd be glad to lead on Hell's Revenge on Saturday.

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 04-29-2008, 09:54 PM

mrboyle, I just noticed my quote in your signature. That rocks

*90ranajo* · 04-29-2008, 11:32 PM

^^^^
Just to clarify/update the info. The van that hit turns out not to be a church van, per se. He is a holy roller that owns and operates a struggling trucking company. Also it was a E350 extended van (just like Froader's) that whacked me.

*Joey Jarhead* · 04-30-2008, 12:01 AM

Is there such a thing as "slickrock jones"?? I am so chomping at the bit to get gone!!!!!

*chad551* · 04-30-2008, 07:31 AM

How many are staying through Sunday? I am planning on heading home Monday A.M. Is anyone else staying and hitting some trails Sunday?

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 04-30-2008, 09:38 AM

Yep

*JTX* · 04-30-2008, 09:54 AM

Ill be there sunday

**Dannyboy** · 04-30-2008, 10:14 AM

I will be wheeling Sunday, hopefully something light and scenic, hope to get on the road around 2-3.

Clock is ticking for me, but I put in 3 hours last night. every weld on the cage is done including rear shock setup, tonight I am finishing paint (I hope) and new windshield is going in this afternoon.

Still open for the end of May - - actually scheduling work around this event, really excited about getting back out to Moab. My plan is to get out there no later than Thursday evening, and not departing before Monday morning, will gladly do a Super Stocker run on Sunday. . .

Counting down the days. . .

goliath · 04-30-2008, 10:20 PM

*FlyBoyCoe* · 05-01-2008, 12:08 AM

Would any Superstocker/Modified guys like to do Porcupine Rim, or Sevenmile Rim (possibly combine Porcupine with Fins-n-Things)? Just some ideas thrown out there for the non-big-dawgs.
