My trip to Moab

[Pete M]

Figured now that we have a trip forum, I should start adding in my old trips. I'll start with the best: Moab. :D

 

Most of you know I live in Michigan, and that Moab is in Utah, but just to give you an idea of how far that is, mapquest says it 24 hours of driving. I broke it up into 4 days so the driving didn't become a chore (it's not like I can ask my dog to drive for a while). :roll:

 

This is Kansas:

 

I saw many, many hours of that.

 

Here's a typical "hill" in Colorado:

 

 

Notice who's passing who. My engine just doesn't like the freeway. At one point during a long mountain pass in Colorado (7 miles of some insane grade), I had slowed to below 35mph (in a 75 mph zone) because I simply could not keep pace or accelerate.

 

But enough of the highway, here are some shots from the first day in Moab:

 

 

And here's Rick's MJ:

 

 

 

 

And some of my MJ:

 

 

 

We took it easy the first day. Just a couple mild shake-down trails so we could quickly catch any problems with our old rigs.

 

That's all for now. I'll post pics of Moab day 2 later.

Day 2 at Moab.

 

This is my camping site:

 

 

 

And on to the trails!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My time in Moab was way WAY too short. Next time I get out there, I'm spending a week at least! It's incredibly addicting!

Who was that masked man in the brown MJ????? :dunno:

 

What'd he call it....."vermin" or something?

 

Oh yeah, now I remember, it's "varmint"

Varmint: noun, One that is considered undesirable, obnoxious, or troublesome.

 

I think Rick named his MJ well. :D
