Moab trip Fall 2010:
I know it's a LONG way off, but that kind of trip takes some planning!! I'm thinking mid to late October, when I get a solid date in mind, I'll post up. If your interested, post up. There are a TON of details that need to worked out, but I think we have plenty of time!! LOL!! Laters!!

COS you may want to get real active first. The same group that just closed Telico is after Moab now..
Below is a post from GL with links for info about what's possible..

New bill just introduced: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s799/text
Proposed Wilderness area map:

Looks like they're trying to close off most of Utah!

Spread the word and write your Congressperson, even if you've never been to Moab!

Most of the land in that bill is already designated Wilderness Study, and closed to motorized travel. It will not affect the trails around Moab as much as some groups are making it sound.

As far as the Moab trip in Fall 2010.....I'm sure I'll be there anyways on the weekends, so I can probably meet up for a day or two

Intrepid, dont you think you'll be bored of wheeling out that way and ready to move back east by then?

you could do 99% of the trails in the Moab area. I don't understand why people think they need to have an extreme rig to go to Moab? There are very very few extreme trails.
A stock XJ could do a lot of trails around Moab....my first trip out there was with a 2" lift and 30's (no lockers).
