4/30 Monday afternoon: Rat/Con or Little Moab (maybe AF Canyon?)--anyone available?

I've got some family coming into town later this week. One of them has never experienced any kind of four wheeling, so he wants me to take him out on a trip of some kind. Schedule wise, it'll have to be on Monday afternoon. (I'd love to tag along on either the Saturday or Sunday trips being planned here on RME but other family activities won't allow it.)

I do have a little flexibility in the exact time we head out. I haven't yet decided where to go because (a) I don't yet know if AF canyon will even be open and (b) I thought I might get some input from the guest of honor to see what he would prefer. As more details are solidified, I'll post them here.

Rule #1 requires taking at least one other rig, so will anyone here be available that afternoon?

af canyon won't be open till 5/30 at the soonest. I was up there last night and there was zero snow at tibble, and I only saw one small patch in the shadows on the way up to Pine Hollow. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be open on 5/30.

Okay, thanks for saving me a trip driving to the mouth of the canyon to inquire. (I don't know who to call and ask.)

Well, crap. I guess I can't read a calendar, either. I meant to say Monday the 30th.

You can call the PG ranger district. But their rule is that they open on Memorial day.

I may be available, but I have to be back in Draper by 4:30

And so I did. The woman said to call back in mid-May and they'd have a better idea of exactly when the canyon will open.

So noted. Thanks!

UPDATE

I finally found a friend (not on this forum) who can accompany me, so I can make the trip. We will meet at the infamous Chevron in Saratoga Springs at 3:00, then head out to run Rattlesnake. My friend's Jeep is a showroom stock JK 4dr, so I'm certain we won't be doing anything more difficult than that.

If anyone else is available and interested, please speak up.

I won't be able to go that late, sorry.

I feared as much. Don't sweat it; I'm sure there will be another time.
