South-East Utah RME Moab RocktoberCrawl - Oct 17 - 20, 2018

[Herzog]

Best time to be in the Southern Utah desert and get your crawl on? I'd argue that it's October.

The plan is to have two sets of trails each day, unless we end up getting a larger attendance. Nothing official here; just show, go and have a good time!
This also lands on the UEA weekend, just in case some of you needed a little push out the door.

Let's also gather for an informal BBQ on Saturday at the end of the day. BYOM/B

Anybody interested in leading a trail or two?

*Pumpkin spice is not included.


Schedule (subject to change, not final)

Thursday: Pritchett Canyon
Thursday Alt: Metal Masher
Friday: PSM to Where Eagles Dare + optionally Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim (or Rusty Nail backwards)
Saturday: Coyote Canyon (7 crawlers max, I've had a lot rsvp already )
Saturday Alt: Rear Steer

[xjtony]

I should be able to come down Thursday night for the weekend.

 

[Seth]

Did you pull a Coyote Canyon permit?

 

[Gawynz]

Definitely interested in this trip. I'll likely come down sometime on Thursday and stay throughout the weekend. BBQ sounds good. I'll probably be tent camping at Kane Creek campground unless someone has a better recommendation on where to camp (this also depends on what trails we plan to run). I've never run Coyote Canyon, sounds fun though.

 

[xjtony]

It'd be nice if we could get a good group at whatever campground we use. I ordered my H1 wheel centers this morning, so I should have plenty of time to get my wheels re-done.

 

[Herzog]

Did you pull a Coyote Canyon permit?

No, but I'd love to. Have you pulled one before?

-edit: Yep just registered for Oct 20th (saturday)

Oooh, are you starting a list? I believe it's 7 rigs allowed. I was considering this trip but now I'm getting serious. I'd love a spot.

 

[Agility Customs]

Ill load up the promod and be down for coyote canyon

 

[Greg]

I'll meet you guys there and film/shoot the trip!

 

[RockChucker]

This sounds like a lot of fun, but already have a family trip planned to sand hollow

 

[Jinx]

Just booked some rooms, but I think I will be playing tour guide to some extended family on some scenic tours...

So I will be open to suggestions on cool things for SXS and Subaru's to see...

 

[Herzog]

I've had some messages come in and it looks like we have nearly a full roster for Saturday on Coyote. A little closer I'll post up the roster and we can fill spots that become open for that day.

Other than that, we need to plan a trail for thurs, friday and a secondary for saturday.

 

[Gawynz]

What do folks think of the following:

• Thursday - Metal Masher
• Friday - Poison Spider to Where Eagles Dare (opportunity to link up other trails as well for a longer day)
• Saturday - Trail 1 = Coyote Canyon, Trail 2 = TBD

I'm open to other ideas though, just throwing out a starting point.

 

[rubi_On_Rocks]

Unless something comes up, I'm in.

^I'm down for Metal Masher and Poison Spider. Two of my favorite trails.

 

[Seth]

Can we do Rear Steer after Coyote?

 

[Herzog]

Can we do Rear Steer after Coyote?

If we get everybody off Coyote with enough time then I'm down

 

[Agility Customs]

If we get everybody off Coyote with enough time then I'm down

I would love to run both of those trails

 

[Gawynz]

I'm interested in running both if possible. The earliest we can start Coyote is 9am correct? Where is Rear Steer located? I'm guessing it's not part of Area BFE because it's still temporarily closed isn't it?

 

[xjtony]

I doubt I'll make it until late afternoon/ evening Thursday, but the rest of the trails sound great. What is everybody planning on doing for lodging?

9am is the earliest you can start on Coyote. Rear Steer is down the road from BFE.

@Herzog Coyote has gotten a lot easier IMHO. Ben and I went through it in an hour last fall. Granted, it was just the two of us but... It is not nearly as difficult as it once was.
