Who is up for Hell’s?

Edit: My brother Dave just sent me this shot, and reminded me. He’s coming along again this year.

How’s Dave’s jeep coming?

Not if you say it like THAT!

Umm, that looks like down for Hell's

No, Hell’s is a great moderate trail. All the crazy stuff (that is Devil’s Hot Tub) is optional.

Hell’s is good for spectators too

Hell’s is good for spectators too

Especially for people who like to point and laugh.

(Ask me how I know)

I'm considering making it this year. I would like to see if anyone is going that's going to be doing easier trials? Chicken corners, fins and things, Hell's revenge, I know there's more. If my wife doesn't come, I'll probably camp at a BLM campground. I plan to stay the whole week. I'll be flat towing my jeep up there. Although I don't have a build post, I think most know I'm on a 2.5" lift with 32" tires. If not this year, most definitely next year.

Part of my plan is to check out BLM campgrounds for future reference. I have no problem boondocking.

I haven't done any tent camping in 15 years or so. If I make it, I have to pick up a tent, sleeping bag and cot. Since the BLM's have pit toilets and garbage bins, I just think it would be easier for me to not have to deal with my waste. It would only be $10 a night with my pass.

I am about 90% sure I can make it. Wouldn't be a full week for me though. Would likely travel Wednesday, wheel Thurs/Fri/Sat and travel Sunday.

I will not be driving on Gooney Bird Rock this time.

Have you experienced any of the BLM campgrounds in the Moab area? More than one there, right? I am, or soon will be, setup to boondock w/o power but I agree on the personal 'dump station' being a plus for at least a bit of development. Is your 'pass' a BLM specific or is it a part of the USFS pass? I use mine all the time for 50% discount of USFS.

I'm a maybe. My retirement has not been working out like I had planned so far.

I haven't been to Moab yet. I believe my pass is the America the Beautiful pass. I was looking at the area near the river.

@Apparition , I've made reservations at Ken's Lake BLM campground. Site 14. You can make me official!!

Easter Jeep Safari sent me a magazine. I flipped through it and caught this little gem:

That sounds awful. We have way more fun.
