Sorry, I have not been posting back (UROC CRAZZZZ) I'm working on a very good detailed map to post.

Basic derections are: Go to little sahara (sand mountain, jerico) desert mountain is 10 miles straight west of sand mtn, Instead of turning into the park (little sahara) go straight (west) You basicly stay on the main road go over a couple cattle guards across a creek This whole time you can see desert mtn in front of you there is a pass that goes through the north end of desert mtn(Main road) you go through the pass and into desert mtn's "valley" We will camp right along that road in the "valley" There is some old granite quarrys there we will camp in one of those.

Of course I will post sign's along the way and i will post the map when I get it done but basicly it is 35 miles straight west of nephi.

I will bring my turkey deep fryer and huge bbq grill. there is no services around for about 40 miles so come prepared. feel free to pm me or reply with questions. I leave for UROC in the morning (thursday) and wont be home until sunday. I can't wait BFG has a set of krawlers waiting for me there............:D

I cussed like a sailor up to the moment I stepped in the door....It was amazing how easy it was to stop....then about 2 years after I get home...I am back to the cussing...you guys are all to blame...


back on topic...

Do we need to bring some magnesium and whatnot so our party can be seen from space at night??

lets get a raging bonfire and some firearms out there...this has to be a total redneck event!!

I vote for Greg on that one, he is the patriarch so he has to do it or delegate it.

I will bring the jello.......shots....:) :eek:


are we going to have some events out there like an RME crawl off or something.

lets give awards....EVERYONE make an award from a part of your vehicle that you broke recently...I will clean up one of my grenaded side gears and make it into a necklace.....I know von has some old birfs he could weld into a first place trophy.....lets have some fun out there....

1/4 elliptic said something like 2.5 hours travel from his house. I would like to get out there and get camp set up before dark (before 830 or so) on friday. I'll talk to 1/4 more this weekend at Cedar and we'll try to nail down what time we will be hitting the area.

The big bash will probably be on saturday, but I'm sure they'll be a bash each nite we're out there. I plan on staying friday, sat and sunday nights.

Nobody has posted on my poll that I've seen just yet, so the major bash is kind of dependant on that poll. If nobody posts, It will likely be on saturday night.

[edit] OOOOPPPSS, I guess I have to make my own vote in order to see how everyone else has voted!!![/edit]

I am getting all excited about this trip....more so than my trip to moab....something must be wrong with me....

Everyone make sure to bring a lot of fuel and a lot of food and water. the nearest water faucet will be in the sand mountain rec-area and the nearest gas station is either in delta or eureka....stock up because it is a long drive if you forgot the mustard....spicy deli style....remember....
