Only 3 months to Moab...

Here's what Justin (Zeus) told me last week.
Their reasoning for disallowing dogs in the back country is retarded. They claim the dog's feces contains rabies because of the trace amounts in vaccinations. They claim bugs eat the feces and bats eat the bugs spreading rabies and other diseases to other animals, apparently thru feces. I don't buy it, bats don't simply stay in "the back country".

Around here it has to do with territorialism of most of the animals. The dog fece's drives some animals out of there territory when they think something else has invaded theirs....or at least thats what I have been told.

And Top of the World would be cool with me! Never done it and its been on my list!

My thoughts exactly!

[BigSwede]

OK, sounds good to me. Maybe Dave can lead it, having done it before.

[tomdietrying]

Top of the World sounds good.
I'll be able to notch another trail off my list.
Peace.

ToTW will at least be much shorter then last years. Its the other side of the river from Dome Plateau but its a much shorter trail. And it shouldnt take 2+ hrs to get everyone up one hill LOL. But its a very nice trail to do and the view is awesome. Could be a pretty good traffic jam at the top though, I dont think there is too much in the way of parking space.

Me lead? You dont have a problem with taking a wrong turn off a cliff do ya? LOL j/k. I have no problem with leading it. I lead all the trails we do here (Mike likes it in the back HA!). Hopefully I have the GPS track from last year. If not, not a big deal its not hard to find the way.

LoL...works for me Dave...

Up kinda late arent you?

[Gizmo42]

Haha yeah, I have trouble sleeping at night. Get to sleep in on weekends but that doesnt help with the nights.

Battlefeild Bad Company 2 is also a bad influence LOL.

Like the new siggy too...

Found the gps track for ToTW. You can see its much shorter then Dome Plateau. Its mostly just dirt road until about waypoint 3802 (same spot as waypoints 3902 and 4010) then the wheeling begins.

Dome Plateau in pink and ToTW in red...



Oh yea, everything up to waypoint 3801 is hwy 128. All of that should have been deleted from the track. Where the 2 trails meet is Dewey Bridge.

Well it's either that or me trying to lead while reading the Book as I drive; I've never done it.

Shotgun!

oh, wait. What day are you going?

[Gizmo42]

The VX run will be tuesday the 11th.

I always have a seat open as well if anyone needs a spot. As long as you dont mind riding with an evil smoker LOL.

Well it's either that or me trying to lead while reading the Book as I drive; I've never done it.

I'm sure I'll have to keep checking the book as well. But at least I have the waypoints and track on my gps to help keep me going the right direction. Though I do take wrong turns even with that sometimes LOL. I need a bigger screen on my GPS, the eyes are gettin old.

[BigSwede]

Hey Kammy, you are welcome to shotgun if you are there by Tuesday, which I doubt you will be. Or any other runs of the week for that matter. There has been talk of Elephant Hill again, probably Kane Creek...who knows what else.

If I remember the trail correctly, it's pretty much a straight shot without a lot of side road turn offs. Pretty hard to get off track. We could spice it up and come in or out Rose Garden Hill though.
