Anything too technical frightens me

Sure it does

All Photoshop.....you're pretty good Brad

I personally would like to take longer rides even if they are not as technical and see more of Moab. I will be bringing my wife and daughter and will get hung :twisted: if I do anything to crazy, or if she has to walk back to camp.

Anyone up for a day trip to Green River via the dunes and back?
If we plan it right we could go to the Grand Gallery and hike into the petroglyphs.

Thats a long ride.

Shannon where would we be staging? What day? I'm towing the 5th wheel out so once I get to Moab I have to find a way to move my machine

RedMan · 2009-03-18 19:45:38

We will have trucks and trailers there so we can get to the Archview RV park and go from there.
I'm sure we can sort out how to get us to that end of town even if we have to barrow a large trailer
from the Polaris dealer.

It would be a fast moving trip for the most part, a few fun areas like Rainbow Terrace, maybe a run
out to the end of the overlook down into Hey Joe and swing past secret spire, play in the Dunes
see if one of the geysers is blowing water, hot foot into Green River and have lunch at Rays Tavern.
Motor down to the Great Gallery and do a little hike.

People come from all over the world to see the Gallery. The term "Barrier Canyon Style" as it refers to
the painted ghost like pictographs was coined in reference to the Gallery. Barrier Canyon art goes back
as far as 11,000 BP. The people that found Aaron Ralston staggering up the canyon after he had to cut
his arm of were from the Netherlands, came just to see the Gallery. Bluejohn canyon where Ralston had
his misadventure is just a mile or less south of there.

Check this out for some history.

So do we go before, during or after the Rally?

You planning on running from Moab to Marysvale or vice versa?

RedMan · 2009-03-18 20:38:45

Depends on what people want to do.
Was planning Marysvale to Moab and back.

Could go the other way.

This last bit we were just discussing a ride over to Great Gallery Via Green River.

I might be game for a Moab to Marysvale and back, possibly. It would be me and my Dad.
