Sorry, I forgot to post up that my GJ side trip got cancelled. Diesel cost was an issue so I stayed and ran Pritchett Canyon, Potato Salad Hill and Rear Steer before heading down to Trail Hero.

Oh geez... Yeah, that does make things easier. Haha

If the ride happens, and it ends up just me and you, we'll just have to be careful that you don't break because my light rig would have a real hard time towing you anywhere, especially on the trail.

I will have a day or two between my Moab trip [after all my buddies head home] and the start of Trail Hero so I'm thinking about heading to 21Rd or Billing's for a day run and maybe camping out - looking for one or more rigs to join me. Most likely my wheeling day will be Monday, October 1st...

Trip was awesome! With as many rigs as we had and two weeks of wheeling, there was a LOT of wrenching in between rides - but we expected that and were largely prepared for it. The Grand Junction trip ended up getting cut short though. Near the end of 21Rd, somewhere in The Gauntlet I presume...

Pile of parts: I don't know if you're gonna get fixed in time anyway, but it looks like the trip to GJ is going to get moved for a few reasons. I hate to say it, but it looks as though it is NOT going to happen this weekend now. Probably going to happen mid week now, like Thursday-Saturday.

Good luck buddy. I'll keep you posted as the week goes on. Hopefully none of my group are broken to hinder this side trip from Moab.

Great, thanks Greg! Cool. I'm sure I'll keep the info current here. And we can swap numbers later if needs be. Haha. Didn't even realize that. I'm from the "bible belt" where they don't sell alcohol on Sundays, so it's in my nature to ask to be sure. :usa:

By the way, can anyone tell me what time grocery stores and liquor stores are open til Sunday night in GJ and if the beer is normal or low% like UT? We may be doing a beer and supplies run on departure.

Okay. I don't mind a little water, I just hope it isn't a mud-fest.

Yeah, the spot I'm talking about must be the second one you refer to because it isn't in any of those pictures either. I remember it being on the left, slightly off the trail and higher up, almost completely protected from weather and with a VERY sandy base - almost like beach sand, but very...

Wet? Has it been raining a lot or does the stream just have some water right now? I've only ever seen it bone dry. And now that we're hoping to be the first onto the trail, we probably won't be camping on the trail anyway.

Looking like as early Saturday as possible. Maybe 0800ish.

Anyone have any pictures of the sandy wash-out, cave-like area on 21 Road? I'm trying to find pics for my buddies in case we have to camp there (is that allowed?). I can't seem to find anything no matter how I search.

I'll be there from the 4th to the 17th with a group of Toyotas of all kinds and sizes from all over the country. We're staying a little south of town near SlickRock Campground. Looking to wheel as much as possible, of course.

Thanks for the clarification Greg. All these years..... SMH. :rolleyes: BTW Greg, you gonna have a rig and able to come hit Billings and 21Rd between October 11th and 13th (Sat-Mon)? I know you said you were interested in joining a long time ago.

I know I've read about it being that way a few times in the years leading up to this trip, but here's where I got it today (last updated in 2008 though sooo....): www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=161 "The trail involves "billings" so there must be payments along the way. The first...

Only other time I've ever done it was in March. Will October be similar? There was no snow, but lots of permafrost in the streambed still.

Trip is back on!! I will be in Moab from October 4th through the 17th with a side trip to 21Rd and maybe Billings Canyon on the middle weekend. Can anyone explain to me how the whole Billings Canyon payment schedule works? I've read that the first six obstacles are one flat fee and then each...

Greg, this is a very long shot, but what's 21 Road like in February? Too snowy or icy to be fun? I'll be towing my junk cross-country around that time so there's a tiny thought in the back of my mind to try to make a stop or two along the way if possible.
