Utah Moab Trip 4/27/19-5/5/19

- Start date
I'm fairly confident my father in law will join and I know @tomtaylz expressed interest on that trail.Okay then......we got one trail set up to run with 3 Jeeps going.
Fins-n-things and Hells Revenge are doable in one day and are close to each other. Top of the World should be a day in itself, and is a fair drive out of town to get to. 7 mile Rim was one of my favs and not too dificult with awesome views.
We will do Fins & Things again and Hells Revenge. If people haven't been to Dead Horse Point, they need to go. Easy drive and I know a cool easy short cut
I discovered about a month ago that a couple I know used to run the KOA in Moab. They were telling a story about the time they went to Dead Horse Point in a Suburban (stock). They mentioned a very narrow point between some rocks that they had to get through, which they did, sort of, and then had to come back through, which didn't go as well, I think they lost the rear bumper. Moral of the story, don't go to Dead Horse Point in a Suburban.We will do Fins & Things again and Hells Revenge. If people haven't been to Dead Horse Point, they need to go.

I am up for most anything, Like @qslim I was a little nervous of how this was going to go, but it looks like I am not alone, and am looking forward to a good time. @tomtaylz and @JMT you are brave. I like that. My distance is half that and originally I was going to drive it, but I chickened out and decided to tow in.
We'll be going between those rocks, but we'll be in Jeeps.I discovered about a month ago that a couple I know used to run the KOA in Moab.

Also in the short cut is a narrow canyon. Hey! Half the fun is getting there..... Right??
OP
So if anyone still needs somewhere to stay I have one more room free, I think JMT is taking one.
$350 for April 28th - May 3rd.
It’s a 3BD/2.5BA condo with a garage in the Rim Village community
Let me know if you’re interested!

I'm looking good @tomtaylz. If I don't get to go now, I'll be really hurt. This will be the longest vacation I've taken in 15 years. Well, there was a 3 month sabbatical, so that might count against me...but I'm really looking forward to it.
OP
I have never in my life taken this much time off. I am sort of hoping that I will just forget everything and not ever go back lol
you will need to do it again just to hit all the trails you missed this time.
A deadman anchor?We won't kill you....we need someone to hook our winch onto if we get hung up. Kidding!!
Not to be too forward, but are ya'll going topless for this one? I'm up in N Utah so I still have the hardtop on and typically to until about the end of May; then it stays off until September or so. My kids favorite thing about 4 wheeling is being in the back with no top on... Weather underground shows a high of 70 for that time of year, what do you all think?
Here in AZ we are the opposite. Those are the times my top goes back on. but I personally am going to haul my Jeep up there with the full top on, and remove as necessary. It is a little easier for me because I have a soft top.
