A group of locals, mostly made up of those crazy Samurai's posted trail signs and officially marked our "new" trail in Moab called Mashed Potato. This trail had been a motorcycle route but the BLM opened it to 4 Wheel Drive. Hurrah for new trails!
We installed a sign at the entrance and exit of the trail. You can find this trail by following the 3-D route. It is up and near the airport, north of Moab. If you want specifics, let me know and I will get them for you.
After placing the signs, we moved on to the main obstacle called the Gravy Boat.
Here’s some fun Gravy Boat action. Gary Lee wanted to pick a more extreme line. Jim went through first though, fully loaded with all the implements of heavy construction and the sign for the other end of the trail sticking out the back.
Now, Gary Lee wanted to see if Over-EZ would climb it or fulfill its name and flip.
Whew! It was close but by this point, Gary Lee is ready to give a big thumbs up. After Susan’s shaky thumb action on Widowmaker a few weeks ago (not sure if she wanted to stick it out or suck it), its become the new poser shot for the paparazzi’s camera.
Next came DeVon. This tub is small and DeVon’s long Jeep took a bit of manipulation to get lined up. Another nice poser shot!
And, he made it up too!
Susan’s thumb’s not so shaky on this one. Guess she figured Jeff wasn’t about to add another band-aid to Drtsqrl’s hood today after his flop on Widowmaker. Yes, she was riding along, not driving……
After we got to the other end, we had a casualty. LARRY! Might be hard to see but that’s a broken axle stub shaft, “look ma, no ears”!
So, Larry went around on 3-D while the rest of the group went backwards on Mashed Potato. Gary Lee had noted that he’d never seen anyone do the Gravy Boat backwards. So………here we go Jim!
That’s steep stuff! Careful now, make that turn without tipping!
Okay Jim, now you’re just showing off!
Go Gary Lee! No problem! Jeff went through so fast I didn’t get a photo.
But, I did get another poser shot!
