Utah Moab in May 2025

[NJW]

Thanks for letting the new guy join in today. Much appreciation to everyone who spotted, pulled my nasty steel cable, stacked rocks, and talked crap. Sorry we bounced from dinner - decided to go fall asleep during a movie last minute. I severely underestimated how tired I was...

Here's a few of the photos I grabbed today - I'll go through and actually edit the rest of them later.

Whats the 2nd trail tomorrow or is everyone doing Steel Bender?

I only have till around noon before I meet up with my climbing buddies. If anyone want to run something quicker in the morning, I'm game. Just got to be back to town before 1. Open to suggestions - but Steelbender looks out for me simply due to time.

I am a big fan of your style so far. Other than your camera definitely adding more than 10 pounds for that idiot in the red jeep.

Victor and Jeff are phenomenal spotters. Thanks guys!

Yes they are. Love those guys.

I had a great week jeeping with everyone. This is probably one of the best Moab weeks yet.

We aren't doing it any more! Hopefully my dm went through as soon as I saw it.

Got it! Thanks

As I told most everyone already, this was an incredible trip with an incredible group of people. I think it would be easy to get frustrated with groups that big on the trail but all of the similar builds and like minded people is what made it a success. People listening to the spotters was absolutely key. Thanks to all of the people who helped spot, that kind of help is what makes the day go smooth.

I had an absolute blast. I really enjoyed teasing and laughing the whole way and an glad everyone had a great sense of humor, especially after some of the more serious stuff like the flops.

A huge shout-out to Trevor for putting the trail list together and trying to get 25 people to go to a Mexican restaurant that holds 4 people . Many others deserve a shout-out as well.

You all are good people. Thanks for letting me be part of this adventure!

Glad you made it out this year. Sorry I'm a little too fat for your passenger seat.

 

[Mrs.Apparition]

@Apparition and I are headed out after breakfast and shopping. (While I’m writing this, I just saw Roman and Tommy from TFL again. Cool!!)

Ryan and I had an absolute blast this week.
The trails were great. Even with the roll overs and break downs- our groups all made a good time out of it. Everyone was so helpful and nice.

I enjoyed seeing familiar and new faces. I had so many laughs and great conversations on and off the trail. Each time we do this, I am always in awe at the different people we meet in different walks of life with so many different careers or personalities. At the end of the day, Jeeping is able to bring us all together and it feels like family. I truly miss some of you and can’t wait to see you again the following year. I can truly say I have made lifelong friends.

So thank you for everything this week and we cannot wait for the next adventure.

Love Julie

Does anybody hear still, have a welder? I should be able to get off the trail sign but will need a 10 minute weld repair to and you having fun. not an emergency.

Pardon the trail English!

The Steelbender gang made it back to town. We split between the 2 SB trails about 1230 so that's a bit of an assumption.
Plan or suggestions is for 530 dinner at Moab Brewery.
3 or 4 so far.
Whoopass day again.

I do not have one sorry unless you wanna stop by in CO

It was great to finally make it to one of these...
And even better to get to put names with faces..
I even remember most of the names too.
Had a great time and I really appreciate @Woodrow for letting me ride with him all week.
Hopefully next year I'll even have a Jeep at the event.
