Well do something different while you guys run Shaffer Trail. We’re totally ok with being on our own and missing out on that one.

We'll be arriving Friday afternoon at the KOA, who else is going to be down there then?
What trails are we planning on running?

Let's banter trails around a bit. I have yet to run "Shaeffer Trail" but I can do that anytime. I'm glad to run people up Dome Plateau and do a little exploring there rather than stick to the EJS permitted route. Lost World is a newish trail (maybe best on Sunday as it's near Crescent Junction). Sounds like we are looking for mild stuff with the rigs that are attending. I need to get some reservations at KOA it sounds like?
And some whiskey to feed Jeremy around the campfire there

I've done Shaffer a couple times in the past few years. I'm cool with doing it again, but its probably been 20ish years since I've done Dome Plateau, so I'm partial to that. I'd also be hip for Lost World since I'm not familiar with it.

Here's the .kml track from RR4W site for Lost World if someone wants to upload it into their app of choice. (zipped so it could be uploaded here)

Chiming in as a tentative for Lost World on the 14th if you think an F-150 on 285s won’t hold up the group. Not sure yet what my Sunday looks like yet.
I added .kml to the allowed list and updated your attachments.

I've not run the trail before but it's a "3". I believe you'd be good to go? https://www.rr4w.com/trail-details.cfm?trailid=85
Tentative plans as of 1:45pm, 4/2/2024-
Saturday - Dome Plateau (solid knowledge)
Sunday - Lost World (I have not run this trail before--will be following the RR4W gps track posted above) ---I'm planning to exit out the Ruby Ranch exit onto I-70 accessing Ten Mile Road to do so. Getting from Lost World to Ten Mile Road is kind of undefined but we'll explore as we go
Just to be clear. We are meeting for breakfast at the Diner on Sat and the Grill on Sunday. If people follow me on the trails, I'm cool with that. If folks are interested in becoming a RR4W trail official, I can make this a little more formal. If those activities aren't interesting to you, we'll catch you at breakfast
I'll be on GMRS and/or HAM that may or may not be mentioned at breakfast

If people don't have GMRS or HAM radio's I have a stack of handhelds I can bring down.

I'm in for both Sat and Sunday. I think the LJ might be ready but the taco is a solid backup. We will be in town Friday afternoon.

I'd bet you're good on most parts of Dome Plateau? Hard to know for sure on "Lost World" but with @Maverick endorsement above, I bet that's even less of a risk?

Due to work (ugh... work...), it looks like we won't be leaving Salt Lake until 4pm Friday. So I'll expect my steak dinner to be ready for me when I arrive at the KOA around 8.
