nice pics!


re: "(i somehow posted this twice, this one has more pics)", you should go back to the other thread and delete it.. Just "edit" the first post, and you'll get an option to delete. Since you're deleting the first post, it'll delete the thread.

Nice pics! I can't wait to get out to Moab. Now that you've used 4wd, get ready to empty your wallet and let the mods begin.

The last wheeling pic, the third to the last pic overall, did you drive up that ridge and than turn around at the top and come right back down the same way you went up?

Mr. Lemons dude... They're talking about this pic:



Is this what it looked like from below? If so, that's "Lion's Back" - a VERY major ride.


Did you have to pay to drive up it? It's private land now and I think the owner's charging $10.

From that view there'd be another chunk of rock visible in front of you....it's also a little wider. The pic of the actual Lion's Back brings back some great and unprintable memories...thanks!

Really cool pics...looks like you had a great time!

That last picture is the beginning of Hells revenge. Nice pics. I will be in Moab June 5th. We are staying at Kens lake, so if anybody is in Moab at that time come on up and have a beer in the evening. Look for a Black 87 truck with Colorado plates.
