still in the works yall but its looking good for late june early july time frame ive been planning out some trails for day by day be advised if you dont already have a locker it would definately be a wise investment to get one otherwise your trail selection will be fairly limited do to the slick rocks. I'll post again when i have a more concrete date Let me know how things are looking for everyone else whos planning on coming. Thanks yall

Slickrock is actually a very high traction surface, kinda like 40 grit sandpaper.

Fair point on the slickrock i was just speaking about one of the main trails i'm looking to do with quite a few water crossings. Just as a heads up to every one I'm having a surgery on the 5th of May so ill be down and out for a month so looking like the best time for me is gonna be mid to late june as ill be having another in mid july. Hope everyones down for that keep me informed.

Definately whatever im trying to get mostly members but i might have a couple buds with jeeps coming out too. So by all means if anyone has someone wanting to come bring em. I'm looking into trails still and its almost like there are too many to do in just a week! The site ive been looking at for most pics, GPS coordinates...etc. is traildamage.com Great comprehensive details about all trails. Anyone who wants to throw out some trails they see and like let me know and ill be sure to include them. I'm trying to combine trails close to eachother as to use time wisely. Hopefully we should be able to hit anywhere from 3-6 a day. Y'all just let me know.

Yeah it is I've been looking at them all and hoping to group a few short ones with one or two longer ones but i also havn't been there myself so definately be able to adjust accordingly, you being from SLC im sure you have more insight than i do so thanks for the input.

nah health is a priority...

I know I will be headed down for easter jeep safari in the spring. Trails are not bad if you get on the right schedule, and tons of rigs and things to gawk at.

We will see how things go. EJS is the week leading up to easter sunday.

Not to make you more jealous, but, I have been using the TB as a daily driver now. It starts about a 400 mile roadtrip on friday for hunting.
