Archived What trails you running this year?

[waynehartwig]

Sorry for the hijack, but who do I talk to about having a vendor booth at the arena? Any idea on costs? Thanks! PM if you want, to keep the thread on track.

 

[TimB]

www.rr4w.com has that info I think.

Its buried down in safari event info. There is a number for Rhonda.

To get back to the ORIGINAL QUESTION:

As EJS comes closer and closer, what trails is everyone planning on running?

We are doing with the RR4W groups:
Poison Spider (gunning)
Pritchett Canyon
Metal Masher (gunning)
Strike Ravine/BFE

Probably free lance a few trails during the week as well.

We are heading down first Saturday, and staying until Saturday before Easter.

Looks like Friday is the only day you can run PS, GBR, GS, or rusty nail. And the other 51 weeks in the year.

Well put, TimB. I realize that everybody that goes to EJS is spending money to get there and spending money while they're there, but the people that sign up for RR4W events are shelling out even more to have a "guided tour" of the trails. Don't ruin the experience for the group by renegading the trails and holding everybody up....that's my .02

Thanks Tim, I found it!

I will most likely roll in around the 3rd and stay through the 12th. If Friday is the only day I can get on Golden Spike (or the others), that's gonna suck because I'll most likely have to be at the vendor show. The rest of the time I'll probably be on Pritchett, Area BFE (if it's open), Behind the Rocks, Steel Bender, etc. I'll probably come in town and run Fins n Things, too. Maybe I'll look into some that I've never done before like Elephant Hill, Porcupine Rim, and Top of the World.

I got my trail confirmation and my group (4 rigs) are running KC on Big Saturday. We will be winging it prior to that. We will pick an empty trail and go. All of us have lights under our rigs and plan to run at night.

I ran KC 2 years ago in July and the first part was really uneventful but climbing up out of the canyon was tuff because I had open diffs. Now I am locked, ready and anxious to run it with water. Everytime I go to Moab I feel like I'm and Christmas is around the corner. My wife thinks I'm weird but I remind her its just like her going to the mall for her. Problem is, she goes to the mall weekly.

I'm always down for a Pritchett run! We went to run it yesterday and were denied repeatedly. Trail was muddy and etc. The obstacle Chewy is getting terribly difficult, and reminds me of the last obstacle before Yellow Hill - that one that is completely off camber with ledges - but worse. My rig was the least capable of the three of us and after 3 hours in, we turned around - didn't even make it to rocker knocker. There was a group 3? just finishing up Chewy when we arrived and we never saw them again. Granted, we played around and BS'ed a lot, but not that much....

Today the weather was gorgeous! sunny, no wind and warm. Melted almost all of the snow in camp today that was left over from Friday nights ~8" we got. Saw lots of caved in tents

 

[cannoncrawler]

Not really wanting to hear that Wayne. the Idea was to lleave the snow of Idaho.


We are planning on running Pritchett next monday If you are still around you are welcome to join us.

 

[Ranger84]

We're headed down in just a couple hours, we're only going to be there until sunday.
We're campin at sandflats I think so hopefully we can meet up with someone and run a couple trails.

How much is the fine for going on a trail thats exclusive use?

The fine is not the issue, it will be all the pissed off people that paid to be there when you didn't.
