Utah TJ Fest 2022

[LarryTJ]

Were arriving Friday (4/22) for the week. Probably hike and mountain Bike 4/23-4/24 unless there are others who arrive early that we can team up with. With that said the trails I was thinking of are (not in any order and I would like to team up so were not wheeling solo):

1. Fins.
2. Poison Spider Mesa (up to the loop). If there is a group who would like to do both Poison spider & Golden spike I'm interested.
3. Elephant Hill.
4. Gemini Bridge.
5. Cameo Cliffs to Wilson Arch

Last year we ran 2-3 trails and if anyone plans to wheel Potash Road & Shafer Switchbacks (great view's btw) highly recommend you start up at the top (enter into Canyonlands NP).

Fins and hells or just fins?

No metal masher?

Yes, Fins and Hells. Metal Masher looks doable (probably by-pass or get winched up Widow Maker).

I did metal masher stock + front lunchbox locker last year. And yeah we all bypassed widow maker, that obstacle is wild

I was thinking of running:
1. entire steel bender from above golf course all the way to kens lake
2. entire poison spider- golden spike- gold bar rim (remember this is a long day)

Hoping for 23rd or 24th or somewhere close like 22nd if it works for anyone - don't really like to do them alone

We are doing poison spider - GS - GBR on the 25th

 

[ChevyKeith]

I could make that work. Is there a thread this is being planned? If not maybe we can discuss where and when starting etc.

Thanks.

 

[UhOh]

I'm not arriving to Moab until afternoon of 4/25. So unfortunately not able to join for the Spider-GS-GBR excursion that day. Would love to do it later that week, or the next week, if anyone is interested. Also looking to do Elephant Hill.

As per the Team America 2.0 thread, I'm looking forward to joining Apparition for the Hell's trail on the 26th!

Rental? Gladiator?

I did think about rental..... BUT they have you limited to certain trails.

Not with that attitude.

Ride along with a buddy?

Hey @Apparition you got anything else you want to sell in Omaha on the way by?

I scuffed up your old tires a little more.

There are so many trails there, you could live in Moab and never finish the list.

 

[toximus]

So aside from these trail rides, are there any non-official official TJ Fest events or gatherings? Seems like scheduling something for Sunday night or Monday would have the best chance of everyone making it?

Anyone want to do a big fire and grill out at the KOA Sunday night? Start building the fire and cooking at 5:30ish and dinner at 6? I'll bring chedderwurst and buns to share.

Last I saw is Tuesday at Jax. @lBasket (iBasket) - you reserve anything at any time?
