I may be going to Ovexpo in Lieu of Moab
(not that it's at the same time, but I have to choose one or the other)
My new obsession is Overland Travel, mostly reading people's experiences, build logs etc. But Overland Travel, and Motorcycle Dependent travel is neato... yep.
Billy Will you be going? I think it's only a few hours from you.

You would have a non-VX lead the run???
Anyway, there is no way I could fill the airwaves with fun facts like Todd...I'm usually too worried about staying on the correct trail.

Oh no, you mean to tell me there aren't neat little park signs saying things like:
"Fins and Things" fine seafood dining ahead 500yds.
"Dome Plateau" Please don't feed the bald headed old men
"Colorado River" 500yds (straight down)
"Kane Creek" feel free to use crutches
"Hell's Revenge" tacos and other mexican food next exit
"Poison Spyder" Ahead 50yds...keep your windows rolled up
"Rest Area" next exit (next Rest Area 5 miles)
"Slower Traffic and Jeeps right lane only"
"Amber Alert" Missing Proton VX w/too much off-set
warning driver has dementia and will insist he is not lost....
So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
and this voice came back and said..
"He's not in, may we take a message?"
Super VXer
you may not be too good at filling the radio waves with information. but you definately know your way around.... you havent steered me wrong every time i've followed you yet.
dont worry... with 20 VX'ers im sure we can fill the radio waves with useless info to keep everyone entertained.

Hell, we haven't even picked a trail yet!

May I suggest a "bunny hill" type trail that mostly stock first timers can traverse easily...Hell, we haven't even picked a trail yet!

Oh H3LL yeah...I don't think anyone cares who/what's in the lead, as long as we don't get lost too often...

OK, well we're not doing Fins 'n Things then... although I don't think I've ever gotten lost more than once there...but always at least once!Oh H3LL yeah...I don't think anyone cares who/what's in the lead, as long as we don't get lost too often...
Well let's talk about this, whether I lead or not. [gets out new, 2nd edition, spiral bound, Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-wheel Drive Trails
I was thinking of going to Elephant Hill again, love that trail...but you guys did it a few years ago. If you guys could keep moving along we could go do the Joint Trail hike along the way, very cool. But I suspect with a group that large it would be problematic to do all that without getting back very late.
I've never done Top of the World, have you guys?
Thompson Canyon/Polar Mesa looks interesting, climbs to 8000 feet in the La Sal mountains, and starts on Onion Creek Road which offers a bunch of creek crossings early on.
Chicken Corners or Bull Canyon might be good choices.
Hey Joe Canyon might be good, except for likely brush scratches...
Thoughts?

I've always wanted to do Top of the World!!

I know technically we're not supposed to formally pick trails here, but if you email me a few options, I'll plug the waypoints into my GPS from the "BOOK" and help out.
I didn't get quite lost on fins n things a few years back...
not for too long anyways...

Top of the World is a very nice trip with fantastic views! It would be a good first run for anyone or a good trip for those have or have not done it. Aww hell, it would be a good trip!

Since the rig count has (vx / all other Isuzus) flip-flopped in the last few years maybe we need to change it to the Non-VX run now!
