This group is awesome

[RockyMtRebel]

I will definitely be as active this year as I was last year..... and since I did all the local trails (ran Middle St. Vrain 3 times last year) I will definitely be interested in getting out further to hit some of these awesome trails. Red Cone is on the list FOR SURE!!!! I also want to do at least two MOAB trips this year....... and I can see a Gulches camping trip to hit all the trails and soak up the area!

Awesome. So when are we making a group run to Moab again?

[RockyMtRebel]

I'd be up for a long weekend anytime from April on....

Is anyone going out for EJS?

Agreed that this forum is the best. I joined in 2011, and don't intend to be inactive again. I miss the original group (i'm sappy like that) - but it's clear from the forum and the new (to me) people I've met that the same quality continues!

I've also been a member for a while and I miss some people too, but I enjoy the forum more now than ever. Jim's management style keeps things smooth and quiet, and there are a lot of members that get out and wheel these days. 2018 is looking good!!

I want to go to Moab too and to get there I want to try Gateway to Onion Creek like the OP posted up last year.

EJS moab over the 2 weeks of easter. saters the week before and is done and gone the weekend after.

[RockyMtRebel]

Oh yea, too many Jeeps in one place at one time in my opinion. I like small groups

[open_circuit]

I'm sure EJS is an experience worth having once, but I really enjoyed how quiet Moab was when James and I wheeled there over Thanksgiving week 2017. Hoping for another week like that this year sometime.

Few years ago we ran into a group from Jeep Jamboree on Fins n' Things, just after 1:15 in this video. They clogged up the first real set of obstacles, and were parked a bit more on the trail than they needed to be, but otherwise they were just a blip on the radar and we never saw them again all day. Moab is big, you often feel alone even when it's busy, in my limited experience. JJ did not look like something I'd be interested in at all, but to each their own.

This is exactly why I never actually leave this place. This latest is my longest hiatus but I can’t get away from the quality treatment here compared to any other forum I’ve ever been on. Great people who do what they say and take care of each other. Can’t wait to whwel with y’all again. Jim and I and a few other took a trip to Moab and even when I bit off WAY more than I could chew on flat iron Mesa, they took care of me!
