We decided to take a trip to Moab with some friends and family in the SXS's over the weekend. Had a great time, it was a bit cold in the mornings, and yesterday, but it was still a lot of fun.
We did Behind the Rocks on Saturday. We were able to do everything but the very first obstacle (went back to the hwy and around) and high dive. Two SXS's tried the first obstacle, but being snow covered it wasn't going to happen.
Sitting at the top of High Dive - Debated it for a while, but decided to go around.
Had to get a photo of the wife and pup.
My cousin coming down White Knuckle
Sunday we started the day by going into Arches. I hadn't been there since I was 13, so it was fun to go in and see the beauty that it is for the morning. After that, my buddy and I went to Poison Spider. Had a great time there as well, but on the other side of 'little arch' (I have always heard and called it fireman's arch) after dropping down the slickrock after 'giant pothole' (which I am kind of also surprised no one has played in, as it is just a big hot tub like Hells Revenge - wonder what/why would make it OK to run the HR hot tubs, but not this one?) we did get a bit lost. It had been a long time since either of us had ran this trail, and on the other side, people have made all sorts of offshoots, and roads that went nowhere. The paint marks and signs were all but gone. We found the rest of the trail eventually, but at that point it was getting dark and we needed to head back down to meet others for dinner.
