Only 3 months to Moab...

[VX KAT]

Good point! Thanks Justin for the other info too. Didn't have problems with that last year, but they only went on one trail (Hell's Rev), so I can see them getting burned or sore if we do 4 days like we're planning. We got those silly little tough booties for them a while back, but they stay on about 1.3 seconds, and the girls had them off.....That's it, the dewgies gotta stay home. Bummer

Just heard from the EJS guys that it is snowing in Moab today!

Yeah, I didn't bring Cinder to Moab last year, but the desert is just not a good place for a black dog...I did miss her but other times it was nice to not have to worry about parking in the shade, being able to go going on long hikes, and to National Parks, etc. She'll be staying with friends again this year.

Getting back to the VX run question, I think Top of the World is a good choice, except for one thing - it is basically pretty similar to last years run, just on the other side of the valley. Up to you guys really if that is a concern for anybody. The overlooks are supposed to be spectacular, and the difficulty is about right I think.

T.of T.W.- gets my vote....several folks said they'd never done this scenic trail.....just my 2 cents....

Top of the World would be a great choice for the VX run. I don't think you can go wrong with that one.

So what's up with not bringing dogs into a national park? I bring my dog out to Cape Hatteras National Seashore all the time, the only rule is they have to be on a leash / tie-out at all times. Maybe it differs by national park?

Btw, won't make it this year (just too many bills to pay and trips to make this spring) but Tom and I are hard at work on convincing the wives for next year.

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".
