Utah Moab in May 2025

Heading back to Nashville today. Great seeing and wheelin’ with everyone. Sorry I missed you and the wife, Jeremy.

I have a whole bunch of pics and videos which I will post to the google site when I get home.

Travel safe, everyone.

For now, I’ll just post @gasiorv ’s next winning ROTM shot - this coming out of Coyote Canyon. Zoom in and check out Vic’s left rear quarter panel.

Took the southern Oregon route home. No gas station between Winnemucca and Lakeview. Ran out of gas. ODOT truck brought me 4 gallons ...got to Lakeview and put 18.73 gallons in the tank.

Meanwhile the rear is covered in oil. Pinion seal is leaking. Checked level and still comfortably full.

Transfer case skid plate bolt was loose again...that lead me to the leak... front of the transfer case is hemmoraging fluid. Had a quart of ATF but no funnel. Used a ziplock bag like a pastry bag and got most of it in. Glad I had pig mats down. Still a bit low but two hours home.

Time to buy some tube and start welding
 
So - following along vicariously from the swamplands - are there any trails at Moab that can be run by mere mortals? ;)

Absolutely. Many, many, many more miles of scenic / easy trails than the more difficult stuff.

Well, there are a lot less of those this year, unfortunately. Thank you BLM.

That's good to know in case I ever can get out that way again. I'm just interested in scenery and more or less "rutted dirt roads", maybe a bit of light overlanding. Not interested in getting on the rocks and/or the carnage that ensues - although VERY much respect for those who do it. I'll just watch!

There’s plenty of exploration to do and you should do it.
 
I’ve looked forward to seeing all the pics and reading about the adventures over the last few days. Looks like it was a ton of fun! Hopefully, I can join y’all in a year or two from now.

I'm betting @macleanflood will have a bunch of jaw-dropping videos when he gets settled in.
I haven't seen any of the finished product yet.
