    Default Moab Preview



    Since a number of people are planning a Moab run depending on weather I thought I'd post this. Roktaxi and I planned a trip a long time ago and a friend from out of state was going to join us but has since decided against it. We're going ahead with our plans despite the iffy weather and DrUnit will be joining us. We'll be able to preview weather conditions since we're going the first weekend in March.

    The three of us will be camping 2 nights at the White Crack campsite on the White Rim which has a three party limit. This is a small leisurely, scenic run that will be just the three of us and Barb & Betty. We'll post the conditions for everyone to consider how it may, or may not, effect plans for later trips. We have talked about Beef Basin/Ruins after White Rim but will take it as it comes and see if the weather will change out plans for us.

    That should be one night camping though we have the choice of which night which gives us a little leeway for weather and other considerations.

    The snow gods have descended on Moab. It's been snowing all day and this pattern is predicted though Monday. Not looking to good for us for our little trip to the White Rim. In fact it's looking pretty bleak. Other factors are also at play but the snow trumps most anything else. Even though it's about 9 days off, the weather projection for the next 10 days is looking wet. [IMG] [/IMG]

    Anyone interested in the great camping spots please contact Marty or Rob. I had to bow out due to health issues with my mother preventing me from going.

    Thanks Ash, it sucks but it's the downside of getting old and is inevitable that stuff happens.

    After listening to Chris and what on the news about health care, I've decided not to get old... hope it's not too late.

    Maybe this is just a test for us for when we move to Loveland... Don't think they get this much snow normally??

    Loveland gets a decent amount of snow. Depends on the year. We seem to get storms right after you guys do.

    I would expect this kind of snow in northern CO, but we've had snow here (this is a DESERT) since the first week of Dec. The worst part is NO sun after the storms. Just cold,cloudy, foggy, dreary. That's actually the worst part. Don't mind the snow if the sun comes out once in a while. Yesterday was one of the rare days the sun came out. And today the sun came out about 1pm. That's a record!

    I used to live in Loveland (and Fort Collins before that) they seem to get more snow than Denver but really not bad at all. Usually plenty of sunshine between storms.

    I know come July (If I'm still here in Moab) I'll be complaining about the sunshine:o

    Just a little weather update... warmed up to the mid 50's today and now it's raining hard!... can't imagine being out on the White Rim with this moisture, and it's predicted to continue through the next week. Welcome to Spring.

    I guess we made the right decision on holding off.

    Making hard plans for a Moab trip is a crap shoot this time of year. Some years the weather is at it's best before Easter. Oh well.......... not this year
