Re: Blazer Bash 06
I would enjoy that sooooo much - maybe someday, course I will have to get the K5 running to really fit in.

Re: Blazer Bash 06
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAMOAB!
Moab is the best wheeling I have ever done. Wheeling out on thoes 6hr trails is AWESOME. You get to pic from 50 different trails at all different skill levels. Basically one trail a day. Back to camp for an evening of fun then doit all again the next day. AWESOME! You can barely see my buddy Tori standing on the top of Lion's Back. Hmm so ya I will be there. This is my second time going..the pics above are from 2002 and I drove my K5 there from Cali....What a road trip that was: This time I am a bit spolied: The older you get the more toys you pic up along the way.... Can't wait!

Re: Blazer Bash 06
Here are some more teaser pics of Utah that I took in the spring. Absolutly beautiful. The first two were on the way to Blanding. The last is at Arches National Park, just north of Moab. Arches is a fantastic park to visit if you have time. Plan on getting up early to do some hiking. Bring lots of water.

Re: Blazer Bash 06
All I have to say about Moab is, pictures can't do it justice. Burt this will be your 1st trip out there with the BB isn't it? Wish I could get mine done so I could make the trip It really sucks to be just 3 hours away and not go. Oh well, maybe next year

Re: Blazer Bash 06
Wish I could, maybe next year when the 4wd is working again and it has a new heartbeat. To everyone that goes, good luck, be safe, and have fun!
