Moab late May? Revisiting

[goSlo]

I signed up for a permit for White Rim last night. Going to run it June 10.
The permit allows overnight camping, I picked a spot right next to the river.

If you are interested in that day, I think I can adjust the permit to allow 3 vehicles ( no more than 15 people ).
I should have the permit emailed to me next week after I pay the 30 bucks.
They only allow 50 permits per day and we have to leave 30 minutes apart.

Almost certain it will be open for us by June.

I am pretty confident that I can swing that 6/8-12 time as well. I will start looking for hotels or what not this weekend! Never been to Moab so I am open for any and all trails!

So, there is a group of Powerwagon owners that has a list of good trails and to my surprise Hells Revenge and Poison Spider are both good for stock Powerwagons (not all obstacles of course). Also Sevenmile rim, Top of the World and of course Fins and Things also!!! Looks like I’m leaving the Jeep at home and taking the big truck! Reminds me of the old days with the Rebel!

I’m going to try and convince the wife to let me go solo and leave Monday the 8th and drive to Moab via Gateway and wheel all day Tuesday with you guys around Moab and then run White rim on Wednesday and Thursday and then head back to Colorado when we get back on Thursday. Something like that. I’m getting excited about this and I think I might camp out of my truck the whole time so it’ll be fun. I’ve been gearing up for something like this and hopefully Moab opens up and is all good with dispersed camping by then

So it’s official, I am dropping the wife and son off in Aspen on Monday June 8th and then driving to Moab. If I have the time I may take the Safari road from Gateway to Moab and camp a little outside of Moab. We can wheel all day Tuesday so we should probably start deciding the trails we want to do
I would like to do any and all of the following: Hells revenge, Poison Spider, Sevenmile Rim, Top of the world, Fins&Things (did this in my Rebel a few years ago but would definitely do it again). Guys, let me know what you all want to run too so we can decide how Tuesday will look. We should be able to easily do 2 or maybe 3 of the trails really close to Moab like Hells, Poison, Fins. I’m up for anything and can’t wait!
I will be camping out of my truck the whole time outside of Moab somewhere..... since it’s during the week I think it’ll be great camping, anyone is free to join me too
Hoping to run the White rim on Wednesday & Thursday and then driving back to Aspen Thursday evening.
I AM SO STOKED!

It's official, we just booked our airbnb for the 7th-13th. Fingers crossed nothing happens between now and then!

I can't wait..... like beyond excited!!!!

[Fatkids]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but do we need to get any permits or anything?

Yeah the Hells Revenge is a 5 dollar entry to that area from what I understand.

The White Rim permit allows 3 vehicles for camping overnight.

Currently 2 vehicles are on the permit, I know my wife (and probably sister and daughter) will go the entire trail in one day, to come out a little sw of Moab.

I could probably add your vehicle to the permit if you wanted to camp down there with us at 'Hardscrabble'.

Oh I did see this on the NPS site today, something we will have to keep an eye on.

We still have 4 weeks so hopefully by then it’ll be passable!

Got the new AEV wheels and 37” KM3’s put on today! Full size spare in the back & off road floor jack should show up on Friday. I also ordered a mini light bar and some magnetic mounts for it to light up camp and the trail at night if needed. I’m gearing up Moab

[goSlo]

Good looking rig man!

My brother in law, (who never remembers to sign up), just pulled the trigger on a metal cloak JK skid kit today.

Should be on in time.

I'm thinking about RCV's on the front, and my current lack of them.

[RockyMtRebel]

Thanks man! Yea I really only need rock sliders now but that’s a month or two in build time and shipping and it’s not cheap. One thing at a time!

[RockyMtRebel]

3 weeks from today!!! So excited! I’m going to put Tuesday (6/8) on the calendar in case anyone wants to join Aaron and I (and Matt I think) to do TOP OF THE WORLD Tuesday morning and then HELLS REVENGE I’m the afternoon. These are two of the routes on my Moab to do list and I can’t wait. I am going to camp (hopefully) right near the trailhead, hoping to secure a spot at the Cowskin campground that’s basically at the trailhead.
Matt (Fatkid) you plan on joining us still?

[Fatkids]

Heck yes I'm still in, probably going to skip the camping portion as we had to pay upfront for the airbnb, but absolutely down fir those trails on Tuesday.
