Nor a video of a Scoutabout being winched either....
New Years in Moab with the Steves
Steve Edmunds and Steve Jackson were nice enough to invite me on their trip to Moab. I raz them a lot about sleeping all the time and wheeling slow.... but they really don't mind.... because it's true.
I was looking forward to this trip because with the rigs we had we would be running easier trails, trails that I have not seen before since I'm always with the buggy group.
Anyway, after much foot dragging we finally hit the road at 3:45pm on New Years Eve. Other than the mexican's party next door to us town was pretty much dead. Steve E made it to 1am, Steve J and I were up until 03:20. I'd had enough of trying to sleep by 07:30, and I finally made enough noise for Steve E's dog to wake him up at 08:30, after some breakfast we left Steve J a note and headed out to run Fins.
We didn't seem to be too camera happy, but here's what I have.
After Steve J finally got his shock fixed (from a previous wheeling trip) we got a late start on Kane Creek (left town at 2:20pm)
Steve E shot the entire trail with a vid camera mounted in his window, including Steve J stucker than crap on the hard section in the dark... but I don't have those vids.
Here's a few from Kane Creek
There was a good deal more snow towards the end, with about 4 inches on most of the shelf road
We got back to town from Kane Creek a little bit before 9

Friday we got started on Hey Joe at about 1 IIRC
Shortly after the gate on the shelf road we ran into a big pile of rocks that had very recently fallen We had to clear a lot of it to be able to squeeze by. There are no still pictures but there is a little bit in the video that Steve E shot for most of the trail.
We didn't get any pictures on the way in, most of the shelf road was covered in 4 inches of snow, and almost all of the narrow ass road along the river had 2~6 inches of snow on it.
Steve J all bundled for joy
At the mine..

Then we attempted Behind the Rocks tip toe, we got denied by snow at Nose Dive
Snapped a couple pics on the way back to town for lunch
After lunch we headed out for Chicken Corners, but after realizing we would be very dark before we got there and seeing Dead Horse from Hurrah Pass we took a few pics and burned for Dead Horse at sunset.
We did run into a few other RME'rs, or at least Zee and the unnamed one.
