Little Moab

[climbon]

The 21st 0r the 28th works good for me, lets pick a date soon so all who want to work on this new Utah chapter idea can be there. Also, I don't know how hot it will be so should we start out early morning on saturday? and just have a lunch out at little Moab? We can meet at the new Smith's parking lot on Redwood Rd. and State Hwy 73 @ 9:30am. They have fuel pumps there too. So give me feedback, will this work for all?

[ACE]

Either should work for me. I would prefer an early start also, the earlier the better, so I could be back home around noon.

[stp189]

Sounds pretty good to me. 28th @ 9:30 Smiths Parking Lot? I am trying to think of a nice shadded place to eat but Little Moab isn't known for their greenery, but I am sure we can think of something.

I am going up Skyline drive above the B in Bountiful Thursday to check out a trail for a future group ride. I heard there is one called Sheperds Creek or something like that that is pretty can be pretty challenging.

[David B]

Can't make it this weekend or the next (28th). I'll be four wheeling in the Medicine Bow. I am interested in a Bountiful run and some discussion about the Chapter. Does anyone know all the steps to go through to get a chapter? I have some time to devote to it, but by no means am I president material. Thats for ambitious people like Keith, Marc or Jeff. I could be the secretary to the vice president's assistant or something. Keith, where are the photos???

[ACE]

Hey stp189, what time on Thursday will you be doing Skyline Dr. in Bountiful?

I am planning around 6-6:30ish (If all goes well at Ms. Conceptions) I get off work 5-5:30. You are welcome to come along.

[mdwatkins]

I really need to get back to the SL area...there is just nothing going on in St. George, and no one seems interested in anything...wonder if it's the heat...

Next time I'm through SL some of us will have to get together and hit a trail somewhere.

I can submit some of my time to the chapter as-well...but I'm not too accesible as some of you guys are in the SL area. So I guess I'll just have to help with whatever I can from down here, just let me know what I can do.

Hey, Hey, now...........that's enough of the 'Marc' talk in there {and my member # is way too high.... I say we go by that :D }.......I don't even know where I'll be LIVING in 6-10 months........{somewhat flattered, but not really :D }


Keith or Jeff are seconded on the nomination......


..............and in other news, there is a trail cleanup sponsored by the BLM at 5-Mile pass on the 21st at 9:00. U4WDA and rockymountainextreme.com are where I've participated from previously, but it'd be sweet to get some groceries out there for the other groups..................I'd rather see us go there than Little Moab as a first 'chapter' organization meeting. They usually cook lunch, but I don't know if that is true this time or not. I've helped twice and both times we were done by 1:00-2:00 pm and had a couple of hours to do something interesting. Bring gloves, a rake, and a shovel and a pickup if you have it (and some gloves). Smiles are always welcome and it's nice to meet the land managers and get to see them face to face. Pretty good people and they really aren't as 'green' as people think they are.

I'll post more info as I get any more details.....

[climbon]

Hey I am good with 5-mile pass. It is closer to my house and there is some trails out there that can make you think twice. So lets go for this saturday the 21st @ 9:00 am 5-mile pass. We can do the clean up and figure out a final date for a formal meeting of a NAXJA Utah chapter. For those who have not been there, take the Lehi exit State Hwy 73 west pass Redwood rd. Keep going pass Cedar fort and Fairfield until you climb the first pass, you will see people parked on the right and left. Look for the XJ's on the right. I will have another drawing for those who show up. Again, lets get as many XJ's out there as we can. See you all there Thanks

Hey there, Marc........watch where you're pointing those nominations! Member number has nothing to do with Chapter management capability......more the ability to react under pressure....."Hey Bryson, we need 75 people moved by 10am, get on it......." U DA MAN!

;)

I'm trying to decide if I should come out to 5 Mile or just invite everyone over to my house for a clean up..........actually to move dirt and bury sprinklers..........I just bought a case of Otter Pops! Anyone.....Anyone ??

That usually gets a 'pirate type salute' from me......... :passgas: :nono: {that is a middle finger, isn't it?}

Otter Pops!!!!!.........I'm there!!! I actually need to get my 13 year old out on a service project---it'll be good for him. See you at 5 mile you 'wanker'.....

[ACE]

Alright, I'll be there. Anyone coming from anywhere north of Salt Lake City, like the Kaysville area, want to caravan down? Actually, I need someone to follow since I've never been out that way :shhh:

Im in Bountiful and am most likely going to go.

[mbryson]

I think I need an engine driven cooling fan or my XJ is out of commission. Anybody have a spare to help me evaluate if I should shell out the bucks for the new 'dealer' one?

[XJEEPER]

Try JR at Ms Conception 972-9232......he might.

[xjblue]

I'll be there 9:00 am Saturday - 5 mile pass, I'll try and be there on time this time. I'll be coming from the south due to a family reunion today and tomorrow so if there are any changes between now and then I'll still be showing up at 5 mile pass at 9:00 am!

[climbon]

I will be at 5 mile pass but I would still like to go down to Little Moab on the 28th and meet at the new Smith's parking lot at 9:00am. We have a cooling trend for the next week so it should not be too hot. If we can get a head count in who is still interested that would be nice. I know I am going with another XJ who could not make the Mineral basin trip. My rig is set up for back country fishing and hunting but hey, I always enjoy watching someone else push theirs to the limit at little moab. See you all at the pass.

[mbryson]

Sorry if I missed anybody. I got hung up a little by Johnny Law and didn't get there until 9:30 --- He suggested that I TOW my out of license XJ out there rather than drive it, happy to oblige as I got off with a 'warning'. Joe was still hanging around and we did a 'roundabout' Rattlesnake trail run.....(in my still overheating XJ---we are SURE that it's the cooling fan, though)

[ACE]

So did anyone else go out besides Marc and me? I got there about 9:15 and just hung out then I saw Marc towing his rig in. Marc showed me around and let me ride shotgun in his rig up the last bit of rattlesnake as there was no way I could have made it without a bunch of rock stacking. We saw WayneXJ going in as we were coming out around noon but that was the only other XJer we saw.

[utahxjer]

I'll be there on the 28th. Should have a few buddy's w/xj's as well. Shall we get a head count for Little Moab, then Winger's on the 28th?

[climbon]

Sorry about saturday, I was there at about 8:45 and brought my dog and about ten minutes into letting her run around she got hit by a quad. She even had her bright orange hunting jacket on so they could see her. The guy came flying over the hill so I had to go. I saw mbryson driving down the road. I will see all on the 28th for little moab.

Sorry to hear about the pooch........she OK? That was you in the BIG white XJ on around the bend? I figured it was someone, but you looked a little stressed and I did the 'Jeep wave' from the drivers seat of the Suburban.

[Xtreme XJ]

Hey Guys:
Not try'n to hijack the post but I'll be up in Ut. for afew weeks in Aug. up in the Kamas area upstream of Jordenelle and was wondering if theres much wheel'n in that area. I've done some of the forest drives & roads further up the Provo but no real wheel'n.
The nice thing about up in the mountains is there GREEN !! I'm from the So. Cal. desert & anything green is cool so the wheel'n isn't as imprtant cause it's beautiful country. So if you guys know of or have anything moderate going on in the first weekend or two of Aug. & you don't mind a So. Cal. yeah who & his family tagging along let me know I might be interested....
Thanks !
Curt (aka Xtreme XJ)

[climbon]

Jump in any time, there are some real nice areas east of American Fork canyon and trails that will run you all around the east side of the Wasatch front. If you want more info you can reach me at my E-mail, I can give you some good directions. Also, my dog is o.k. she's got a sore hip and yea I was pretty stressed and kind of ticked off she got hit.

[Xtreme XJ]

Climbon
Thanks for the reply when I get packed up & start heading your way I might give you a holler. It takes 12 hrs. to drive straight up the interstate to get to my outlaws ranch up river from Kamas. BUT ! I hate I-15 so I take the back byways & dirt roads, I'm look'n at 5 days to get there.... Kodachrome Basin & upper part of Capital Reef this time on the way up.
I've seen a white XJ & a dark green XJ in Kamas, I think that the green one is from R.R.s web site.
Thanks again.....
Curt (aka Xtreme XJ)

[climbon]

Can I get a head count for a ride out to Little Moab and then a meeting at Wingers this Saturday the 28th? I need to get an idea for a drawing, do I need two ARB lockers or four hmmmm. I was going to buy the wings if I can get a good turn out. So let me know ASAP. thx Keith

[utahxjer]

I'll be there on Sat. but maybe only in 2wd, my 4wd linkage is still broke, but hey we can see what she can do in 2wd!

I'm not in. Got the 'dad thing' in the way.......(Stingers baseball game for the little league and then the West Jordan Demo Derby in the evening)........have fun (and I'd love to be in the drawing, but I heard you had to be present to win the D60 ARB)

[utahxjer]

Man, you seriously hate I-15!!! How long has it been since you've been up here? I-15 isn't that bad these days in Utah. Unless your trying to drive south around 6pm around Sandy during the week. But 5 days you must really hate it!?!

I am about 99% sure I'm a go. Just have to get my Saturday stuff done during the week. I am stoked to see what the differance is with my new 8.8 rear ARB since the last trip to Little Moab.

[climbon]

Looks like we got about four or so. I hope we can get alot more, pass the word along. I would say let's meet at the Smith's gas station between 9:00 - 9:30 AM. Redwood road & State Hwy 73, I think we had 11 jeeps on the last trail run. See you all there. And for those who can't make it? we'll catch you next time. Thx

[bretto]

I might make it if you don't mind me tagging along? The Mrs. doesn't like it out there too much (no shade) so that might be a hurdle.

Brett

[xjblue]

Sorry I didn't make it to 5 mile. Had an interesting weekend though, While driving to the fam reunion had an incident with a big rig that blew a trailer tire, will take 8 to 9 hundred bucks to repair, hopefully I can get the insurance money soon. Also I slept in that Saturday morning, ended up trying the Skyline Trail from Ephriam Canyon, then going back on scenic route 31wow the scenery is incredible up there, like being on top of the world! Like no where else I've seen in Utah.

I shouldn't have an excuse to sleep in this Saturday so I will be there for Little Moab!

[Xtreme XJ]

Utahxjer:
I haven't been"up" I-15 in years.. I usually come in from the Price/Helper side. It's only about 12 or 13 hrs. from my house to my outlaws ranch. Last time I was N. bound on I-15 I got on at Santiquin and off at Provo to head up Provo Cyn. That was after leaving So.Cal. desert heading N. to Santa Cruz Ca. then across
Nev. & Western Ut. I usually come home down I- 15. We come up there every summer for a month or so. Utah has soooo many
sites to see the back roads are the only way to go. The problem is each time I get into a area I think "we need to come back here". Ahhh so much beauty & not enough vac. time.
See Ya !!
Curt ( aka Xtreme XJ)

[utahxjer]

How long are we gonna be out at Little Moab, I have a buddy who wants to come when he gets off work?

[bretto]

I am going to be there....again with my CJ friend

brett

[climbon]

For those who will check this today, I have to run up to Jacobs Ranch to help my brother-in-law put up at railing on a deck. I should be a few minutes late to the Smith's. You might see me driving north towards you if I am late. See you there 6/28/03 7:45am

[xjblue]

Had a great time at Little Moab today! Havn't scraped my bumpers and underside that much since last October! Those who didn't make it really missed out!

[bretto]

Yea great time! Here the pics I have, enjoy:

http://community.webshots.com/user/brettpaul

Mainly looks like a photo shoot of Shane and John...oh well.

Thanks alot!

[WayneXJ]

I'll have to make a trip out there soon. I was driving back from Vegas on Saturday.

[climbon]

Had a great time and the wings after the run is always a bonus. I posted a thread for those interested in a Utah NAXJA chapter look for it and reply so we can get it moving before October. Later

[stp189]

I can't believe my luck winning the drawing 2 trips in a row. That Darango bumper will look great on my XJ. Thanks climbon.

Here are the pictures that I got before my camera died. I don't know why this picture posting thing wont work. So until I figure it out you will have to look and the links.

Does the need to be upper or lower case? What do you mean it is off?

When you are entering a new 'post', look in the lower left.....you have the posting options there......

code is OFF


I don't know if there is a reason they don't want pictures in this forum (maybe storage reasons or something), but that's what's set up.

I get ya. I thought that if it was a link it didn't take up any room? Thanks for the info.

I have started a new thread for the next trail run "Bountiful Ridge" if anyone is interested.
