5 Mile / Rattlesnake

[sawtooth4x4]

How do I get to this place? I'd be coming from the north.

I've been wanting to get out there. after putting in nearly 80 hours of work this week, I need a break.

I always drive past it on the highway but here is a cord I found: N 40 14.877 W 112 12.822

That will get you to the turn off on the highway. Follow the most used road and as you get to the base of the hills it turns a bit to the north and there is a metal sign with the name of the trail.

I've been out there a few times but not nearly as much as some of the other guys here. I'm sure they can post with better info.

When are you going? I can show you the way.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

I was thinking about going tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad. But I have water leaking from somewhere I need to fix

 

[dutchman]

I think it's supposed to be nice tomorrow, and the interwebs say a chance of rain next weekend but who know with Utah spring weather.

Water leaking.... your rig or your house?

I've been a few times, way fun. I'd join for my first run in the jeep if my tires weren't nearly bald. New tires/rims next week.

Rover is leaking some water. I have an idea where but I haven't had time to fix it

 

[dutchman]

I'll check on here periodically to see if you're planning on going tomorrow.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

I didn't go. I have to much to get done before I go down to Moab at the end of the month. Still need to plumb my ARB locker and find my water leak. sorry. maybe next weekend.

 

[dutchman]

Next weekend might work alright for me. Let me know.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

I will. I got my garage cleaned up. If I can get some time to fix the leak this week, I'll probably go. I'll let you know

You can get a KMZ (and other info) to the trail in this thread:

Crap... I totally would, but I have a scout campout tomorrow @ Horseshoe Springs. Then again, if the weather goes sideways, even that might be a wheeling adventure...

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Probably not going to be able to make it. I have to much work to get out by Wednesday. Sorry. Maybe we can try in a few weeks. I'm just swamped.

 

[Pile of parts]

I'll (we'll) be out there tomorrow around 9:00. Three jeeps and a group of scouts (14-16 year olds) Not sure how many scouts will be there, but if anyone is going anyway, wouldn't mind having you tag along - and provide more seats for butts. Orange CJ, Green TJ and Red TJ.
