Cliffhanger:
9 Jeeps. I don't think it makes sense to split into multiple groups since it is an out-and-back and a one-way. Group 1 would end up waiting for group 2 at the turnaround point anyways. We'll meet at the Captain Ahab/HyMasa Trailhead parking lot, and start driving at 8am.

Fins & Things + Hell's Revenge: 17 Jeeps. Don't forget your $10 entry fee. We will meet at the sand flats parking lot at the entrance together, and start driving at 8am and ride in 2 groups. Group 1 will leave an obstacle as soon as the first Jeep in group 2 starts it, so you're not waiting for all 18 jeeps. We'll pick out the groups in the parking lot, because why not.

I signed up for Cliffhanger on Sunday, so I’ll make a 10th Jeep for that run. If we finish around 1pm I’ll be heading to Moab Rim for the afternoon. I leave Thursday, so I have to get as much in as possible. Look forward to it. Looks like some epic days. Thanks to @lBasket

Fins & Things + Hell's Revenge: 17 Jeeps

I'll pose another idea here, either have each group start on the separate sections of Fins or have half do HR and the other half on Fins and swap. It's in my interest for 16 rigs on that one trail with this cluster fuck of an approach, but the part of me that loves optimization wants to encourage a better use of everyone's time.

Pritchett should also break up, since it can't be based on trail segments maybe an hour separation or some other start time delimiter.

Just ideas, but I just picture more than a handful rigs as a total mess unless people like standing around (which to be fair could be a lot of fun on some obstacles, as long as there's a clear cutoff of attempts).

I would happily choose a 10am or later start time on Hell’s and bypass Fins. I’m in no hurry on that day.

Also happy to do Hell’s first then bug out or do Fins second. No problem.

These just drop boxes at trail heads or something that needs to be bought beforehand?

Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Trevor. This is quite the “herding cats” task.

A couple things:

Thomas and I will not be doing Fins/Hells on Monday. We are currently planning on wheeling with some other buddies that day.

Pritchett. I suggest splitting that up a bit more, perhaps setting up a separate start time for each group - maybe separated by an hour or two. Even with the proposed “first group takes off after finishing the obstacle” approach, the problem with Pritchett is that since the obstacles are so close to each other, this will still wind up like trying to run it with 15 trucks.

My two cents. Interested in what others think, so please chime in.
