Moab 2016

[Trick.Raptor]

It was short weather during EJS at the end of March. I'd like to see some bad weather but I'm OK without it. I'm tired of the damn mud!

You trying to make me look like a sissy or something?
50s n 40s is shorts for me. I'm maybe back in. Take that!

Kidding aside. I grew up in northern NJ. I hate cold wet snowy anything. When I got out of the navy, I landed in Phoenix AZ for 18 years. I love the the hot desert. If I can make the time work, I'll plan to attend this.

This year was 50 and sunny

2014 was mid 50's and sunny

2013 was mid 40's and sunny

2012 was low 50's and rainy

I can't make this one (ski season). I will be staying in Utah for February and March (mostly skiiing) but will be hitting Moab if snow is bad.

We'll see you out there. Love snow, hate cold.

I'm actually considering this. Would be a good two weeks. Play with the truck out at King of Hammers the week prior, then Moab. That's if you guys don't mind a old F-150 tagging along.

That being said, we will all help each other out as best as we can to get you and your truck to a safe place or that we will drag you to a paved road to wait for a tow truck in the event that the catastrophic happens.


Be smart, be prepared. It's definitely going to be cold, it's probably going to be snowing and or sleeting. You should have cold weather gear, dry gear, medical, water, snacks, spares, recovery, radios, gps, if you have it, BRING IT!


This is not a race. We are a group of enthusiasts out enthusing.


I look forward to meeting and enthusing with all of you.

What if Wilson can make it and he brings e-30 cookies and some ethanol bucks

My departure angle concerns me. Id need a skid plate made for the tank at the very least.

Maybe you will have an issue on Hell's Revenge if we even go on the trail. I ran it in a side-by-side back in March and I see no issues with the Raptor's up to the lookout.

Barstow, CA? Damn I grew up there! My mom still lives there and my brother just golfs all day long at Silver Lakes!

I'm getting pumped up sure hope it works out
