Thanks for the birthday wishes! Susan-drtsqrl's better half

We're working on it! BLM doesn't have an official "procedure" yet for legalizing new trails, but we feel that we have a decent chance at some point of getting it re-opened. We are in the process right now of getting our documentation in order. Sometime soon I will be asking RME, U4, etc for...

The new RMP went into effect on October 31, so it is officially closed.

Just because there are tire tracks doesn't mean it is part of the trail. This is not in an "open" area. If in doubt, stay off it.

Great job, Melissa! It was a fun day!

It looks like we are almost neighbors. What is your new address? I'm on East Coronado.

Depends on what you want your Samurai to be. Putting $5500 into a Samurai might make a nice daily driver / moderate trail rig, but to build one that is truly capable is going cost a lot more than that. But then the same thing could be said about any rig. If $5500 builds you a rig that really...

Until the Record of Decision is signed, the old RMP is still in effect, which means that Coyote is open. The last time I talked to the BLM (about 2 weeks ago), they expected the ROD to be signed around October 30 or 31. You would have to call the Moab BLM to get an accurate date.

Under the new Moab RMP, motorized vehicles are limited to "designated" trails, unless an area is managed as "open" (such as White Wash Sand Dunes), or "closed". Under the old RMP, areas were either "open", "closed", or "limited to existing" trails. So in the past, if there was a trail that was...

Okay, here is MFFW's schedule for next weekend. Hope some of you guys can make it! Saturday Oct 18 - Behind The Rocks (backwards): Meet at the south Shell station at 9:00 AM, or at the Behind the Rocks Road parking area (right across the highway from the road to BFE) at 9:15. We are planning...

I'd be up for Pritchett also, but it does become a logistics problem for the non-street-legal rigs. Actually, I have a club meeting that evening, so it would be better for me just to do B.T.R.

Cool! I've been wanting to do Behind the Rocks backwards for a while now, thinking about doing that on Saturday the 18th. Anyone want to come along? On the 19th MFFW has a club run scheduled for Helldorado. We will meet at the south Shell station at 11:00 for Helldorado, everyone is welcome.

Okay, so I'm late looking at this thread, and I'm too lazy to go through the whole thing... What days are you guys wheelin' and what trails are you planning on? I wanna play too! (No mountain bikes for me...)

We-Be-Jeepin is running Coyote on the 4th. I wouldn't mind running Lockjaw and Greenday or Helldorado afterwards.

Thanks, everybody! No rig is ever finished, and no one is ever completely satisfied, but the ol' girl seems to be working pretty good at the moment. Look me up when you are in Moab... I'm always ready and willing to hit the trails!

Yeah, since it wasn't on the route inventory, it didn't exist in the eyes of the BLM. Seth, I'll be at the next U4 BOD meeting, and I'll fill everyone in then. Jeff

Just to be clear, it will be Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' leading the charge to get Coyote re-opened. We have alreadt talked to the BLM, and also San Juan County. It may take a while, but at this point things look promising.

I have Coyote on my calander for October 4th. Could also probably do it on Oct 11th or 25th.

After a recent trip up Pritchett, my wife was rather dismayed at the large number of incompetent drivers driving fancy, mega-buck bolt-together rigs. Her comment to one of our friends: "You can't bolt on experience"

Coyote will be closed when the new RMP takes effect (scheduled for sometime in October). It may or may not be posted, but we would still ask people to obey the rules and not use the trail. Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' will do whatever we can to get it re-opened, but it may take a while. We will be...
