WOW!

What a GREAT Trip.  Good people, good jeeps, great trail.  We did it in record time this year and realy didn't push.  No major breakdowns made for a great trip.  My issue with the alternator was realy the only semi serious issue of the entire trip.  It's a busy time of year so I will get the photos posted up as quick as I can.

For those who missed it again this year toooooo bad for you.

As a heads up it looks like a bunch of us are going to give this trail a try in the fall.  See if we can get a little more even weather (not so hot in day cold in night water etc.)

More detail on that to follow

thanks to everyone for making it a great time

Sound's like most if not everyone is leaving sometime on Wed.  Post up folks so people can tag along...

Get yourself to Hanskville.
(I prefer to use I-70 east because it's an easier pull with a trailer but it is about 25 miles further, faster though)

Take SR-95 South out of Hanskville toward Blanding

at N37 33.748 W110 01.127 turn right off of SR-95 onto SR 263.  You will be going South West

At N37 25.267 W110 30.328 turn left off of SR 263, you will be going South East on a dirt road

From here the road is marked "Hole in the Rock Trail"

At N37 24.174 W110 28.916 make right turn you will be going back South West.  Follow this untill you come to the Half Track at N37 22.528 W110 32.360

This will be the un load Base Camp.  Be carefull driving out on the rock there are a lot of nails on the rock so put a spotter out.

If everyone makes it down Wed night we can easily put the Rincon Trail back in the to do list for this year.

See you all there

ok guys - here we go

Weather service is predicting exactly 0% chance of rain wha hoo!

Should be a touch toasty during the day but still decent sleeping weather at night......

I will post GPS coordinates on this site tonight.  Remember it's a leave EARLY on thur, when we hit the half track it will be running!  I figure without any breakdowns etc we should be able to make it to skull flat or marble hill by camping time.

Sounds like were going to have a great bunch.  Looking forward to the trip.

Touched by a Nun - have a trailer you can use, but my big one already has 2 rigs on it, don't know if this helps or not.  I will make an inquiry on a tire, but would probably be a borrow, what rim / bolt pattern do you need?

Check back tonight for driving instructions

Wow busy spring!
   Some of the guys did a local ride / shake on the 15th.  I had to play carpenter so didn't get there...

  We took the heep out this past weekend and went to one of my favorite spots.  We went down the Wikiup trail met up with some folks from Kentuky (drivning a rubi) spending a month in Utah hitting all the trails they can find.  Based out of Green river and according to them having a great time.  We went over fix it pass and then down coal wash to the devils race track, up the race track to the frontage road and back to the truck.  What a pleasent ride.  No preasure just a nice easy ride.

   WAY TO MANY ATV RIDERS!  Now Im not much of an environmentalist sorta idiot, but after stopping no less than 20 times going up the race track to let these guys ride past us I couldn't help notice something.  Invariably as they would pass us they would do all they could to avoid the obsticle in the trail.  Some would go as far as driving out in the trees to make a new trail around the rock or bump in the trail.  HEY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CROSS THE OBSTICLES DON'T RIDE THE TRAIL!!!!!!!!!  That's what makes the trail what it is and it's no wonder the anti multi use people are screaming.  Dam go someplace else if you don't like the bumps, quit make new trails and ruining it for those of us who view the road as the challenge.
  Sorry just had to get that off my chest, but on Sat I saw no less that 20 new paths around this or that obsticle created and that's not what it's about.

  All in all it was a pleasent trip.  I have developed some kind of a rattle in the T-Case that needs to be addressed before HITR and so I will be spending this coming sat in the shop trying to figure this one out.

By the way I think the word has pretty much gotten out to everyone that I know is going that we have shortened the trip by one day.  Leaving on Thur and probably going to skip the Rincon trail (that will be a decision made on the trail) but leaving early Thur

I'm game.

Hey thinking of a pre-trip to kind of work out the bugs from the winter of tinkering........

Looking at the first or second sat in May, thinking of one of 2 possible day trips

down the eva connover up north coal wash and then up the devils race track

or

down the devils race track up the wash accros fix it pass then up past the wikiup

Neither is a particularly challenging ride just a fun way to flesh out the cobwebs and get those machines warmed up for the up and coming.

Post up if you would be interested, hate to take the time off work if it's going to be a bust.

Hoping I have my TJ done by then, last parts for the lift should be here this week. If anyone has any extra 4.88 gears laying around send them my way.

Ok, been some people express concern over the timing of the days that were posted....

The sugestion that is being made is that we push back 1 week to Wed June 2nd, through Sun June 6th 2010.

This works better for me but I don't want to be the only one to chime in on the issue......  Several folks have said that they have conflicts with the memorial day weekend (class reunions, family reuinions etc.) and have asked that we push back a week.  Weather should be ok, maybe a tad warm but ok, so again works better for me but lets hear how everyone feels about it.

Post up, e-mail me call something because we need to lock this in in the next few weeks.


thanks
