Well Damn it - just found out my boys have a baseball camp that weekend so it looks like I am out. I really wanted to pre-run these trails since I have not been to Moab to off-road yet.
Any chance you can send GPS files .gpx format so I can do some exploring and maybe map some additional...
Interested in helping with any pre-runs in the spring. I have some routes thru the Parashant area and around the Grand Canyon area. I live in Mesquite, NV so not too far from Southern Utah but have not hit a ton of the trails.
I could bring my Toyota Tundra - LOL Wish Toyota had something like this but they only have the TRD Pro not really the same level as a Raptor. Or you would have to have a modded Tundra to make it since the stock Tundra isn't really an off-road truck.
Looks like fun!!!
Here is an update - The Government is shut down and DV is closed. So unless they re-open soon this is a no-go.
Other than that this will be a little spontaneous -
I have people in for SEMA that want to go to DV so they want to do Nov 9-11 (Sat-Mon) but my sons soccer state tournament is Nov...
Here is my plan:
Friday drive in and camp at Armagosa Dunes - Free camping and some sand to play in(Flags required).
Saturday - Run Titus canyon then out to Eureka Dunes and camp there for the night. Sunday - Backtrack in with a stop at Scotty's Castle, then down the Racetrack rd to the...
Took my Tundra up that - but not sure I want to take a bunch of full size trucks thru there. Rather go thru steele pass but that may be a bit narrow for the Raptor. Plus I am adding Long Travel to my Tundra which will increase the track by 4 more inches.
Toyota Tundra Echo Canyon Death...
Looks like Nov. 15-18th will be the best dates. Pismo Surf N turf is Nov. 2-4 and then SEMA is Nov 5-8th and Thanksgiving is 2 weeks after.
Does Nov 15-17 sound good to everyone?
Damn I wanna go but will be heading home to Vegas that morning. There are a couple of buddies hitting up a section of the Mojave rd that night too. If I was staying another night in SoCal I would join ya cause I have never been there. I plan to make it out there sometime in the fall. Have...
Sounds like fun but too much going on to make it. If you would have planned it a month ago - I would be in. Have not done much exploring in Utah. I would love to do this trip in the future so take good notes and GPS tracks. :D
Enjoy - that area is awesome.
Definitely not gonna put anybody or myself in the position for possible damage. Trucks are not Rock Crawlers. LOL
Eureka Dunes is a good road - some hi speed spots
Racetrack is a good road- just washboard but the trucks should handle that just fine.
Titus Canyon is a good road
Goler Wash can...
Well Lippencott is out - don't want any issues. I have seen video of a Tundra thru Steel pass without issues but then again we are only 80 wide. Maybe we can hit the racetrack the first day and then back out and up to the Dunes. If we have to backtrack from Eureka Dunes that would be fine. I...
Last time I was on Lippencott was a few years back and I know it has gotten a little worse. We can adjust and skip it and head to Panamint Springs from Eureka Dunes or do it in Reverse that way we could hit the Racetrack from the north. But if we wanted to visit the Racetrack it would be an in...
I don't have a Raptor - I have a Double Cab Tundra but most Tundra guys don't like getting their truck dirty LOL The Jeep guys go too slow and you Raptor guys do tons of stuff and love that. Love the Raptor just too much $$ for me. Figured if I can get out with a handful of you guys and...
OK so looks like most are good with camping.
Here are the dates that look good.
Sept - 20-22 Full Moon - HI/Lo Temp for Sept 107-76
Oct - 4-6 New Moon - HI/Lo Temp for Oct. 93-62
Nov 15-17 Full Moon - Hi/Lo Temp for Nov 77-48
Would like to camp at Eureka Dunes first night then thru Steele...
I camp but since I dont know any of you guys - I thought I better put the hotel thing in there. Personally I would like to camp at Eureka Dunes one night.
Post up some dates - whats good for everyone?
Full moon dates are Oct 19th and Nov 17th. Oct 19th doesn't work for me - does Nov 15-17th work? Or do we want to do it on a new moon for better star gazing? Which would be Oct. 4th or Nov 3rd. I think Eureka Dunes or Mesquite Flat Dunes at full moon would be cool and some awesome pictures...
Well life gets busy and the Desert got HOT!! How does October sound? I know my kids will have stuff going on but if I don't set a date it won't happen. LOL
What does everyone like to do? Back country Camp, Campground or Hotel? That will depend on the route and give us some time to...
Or we can hit up any other spots anybody is interested in- I was just throwing something out there. Any other good trails close?
May will be hot but was thinking hitting up Eureka Dunes and thru Steele pass - up Lippencott to the Racetrack and then up Hunter Mtn to camp. Then maybe head out...
