Little Trip to North of the Salt Lake tomorrow

[sawtooth4x4]

My buddy and I aregoing to check out a few things tomorrow.

I'm planning on seeing the Chinese Arch, Elephant Arch and Kelton Tomorrow. Is there anything else to see while up there?

Where are the pumping stations located on the GSL? I'd like to see that and the canal. I know I've seen a write up about it before, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks.

Sounds fun, man.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

you got that Heep ready yet? lol

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Hogup Pump station? does that ring a bell?

Yep, getting there. Temporary registration happened this morning, now just need to drive it to reset everything, what with the battery off for a bit... tires and lift to follow in a few weeks.

I've been out there, to the canal and station. It's pretty cool.

Ok. Text me. 307.899.1362. My buddy wimped out

 

[Troop92]

The question becomes.... do I take unregistered built trooper, or the registered but mostly mall crawler jeep...

 

[sawtooth4x4]

It's just dirt roads. Jeep should be fine. I have straps if you need a tug.

Haha, yeah, I've been out there before. But you and I both know what starts as an easy "dirt road" trip....
